hey... i'm new here... just a few queries involving midi, karma and cubase

(if these are stupid/basic questions... that have been answered a  million times... if someone could just point me to a site/thread/faq  that has already answered
  
  hey
  i'm Andrew i'm 18 and i live in melbourne australia, and just bought myself a karma second hand off ebay
  to go with my Korg ms2000
  (after 2 years of wanting something better...i finally got a decent  workstation/keyboard to replace my yamaha ypr-30 which had only 8  sounds and a midi output that didnt work...)
  
 i was originally  planning on saving up for a triton LE, but then saw it on eBay at a  similar price, and after some quick research decided the karma was a  better keyboard so went with that
  
  i want to start doing some industrial techno music
  using primarily the karma and ms2000 sounds, and using cubase sx as the  sequencer but have been having some problems...well just finding weird  little qwerks
  
 you guys have most likely resolved all issues i'm likely to have  in earlier posts... but that would involve hours of reading archives,  so i might as well just ask it again
  
 when the karma is in  sequencer mode, and i'm using cubase, i've found that i cannot change  the programs in cubase without the karma defaulting to the (g) general  midi bank, i found the cubase section where you can add devices, it  lists some popular synths and workstations by various brands, the karma  is missing from this list so i tried the triton options instead as i've  heard these are very similar
 but still, when i browse through the  programs in cubase and it displays the names of default triton sounds  (i do not know which triton its for... perhaps classic?) even when for  exampe i choose  "b" bank sound 32... it'll still go to G
  with the ms2000 i dont have this problem as it is limited to only 128 program locations.... it can use general midi
  i heard mention of sysex and msb/lsb numbers... how do i use these? is  there a simple program i can use, or a device profile for cubase that  works well with the karma (like that triton thing i found)...is setting  hte karma to "gm2" mode or "korg" mode make any difference? what is the  difference?
  
  
 i've also found that when i find the sounds using the  karmas  menus, then setting the karma to "local off"  with a  drum patch
  in cubase everything works fine until i enter drum map view
  and then all i can hear is the default noisystabber sound instead of  drums..... its quiet strange... if i set local to on then i hear both
  i'm sure i have the channels correct... and i tested it, the same  channel without changing anything changing from drum map to normal  pianoroll and it would change from drums to noisystabber... its a small  thing i know... i could just get used to programming drums in pianoroll  mode.... but it still just pisses me off...
  
  oh, and is their a good computer program for managing programs/patches  on my karma... sending and receiving them rearranging them and backing  them up on my pc?
  
  and is their anyway to save a song made in the karma's internal sequencer onto the karma? or can you only save to floppy?
  
  sorry if i'm asking too many questions in my first post, i'm still learning
  thanks for any help in advance
  andrew
