Troubles with my Korg M3.

Hello all M3 users!

Problem 1:
I have the old version of the M3, but downloaded the Xpanded kit, so
now my M3 is the Xpanded version. But some sounds dosnt work, meaning it dosnt come any sound when Im playing. I open my M3,
choose 'Programs' and the first sound says "000:Stereo grand 4-way EX3". This sound dosnt work. Next up is: "001: M3 grand piano", and it works. Then I scroll further with the jog wheel, and all the sounds work,
until I come to "020: stereo grand 4 way 2 EX3"... Why is this so?
I am thinking this: I need memory upgrade, I have installed wrong or ?

Problem 2: Example; I open a project in cubase with 16midi tracks ready and 16audio ready. I go to my M3 and choose sequenser. I then make a beat/instrumental. Then I save my cubase project as "document 22" and go to my m3 and renames the M3-file to "doc 22". Then I choose "save template song" in sequenser mode. My problem is this: when I press "save template song", I am just able to save between spot "U00-U15" = total of 16 songs. I was shure I could save 64 songs on the M3 / workstations like m3,triton,motif in general ? 16 x 16 midi right ?!

Problem 3: Arpegiators
Lets say Im in Program mode, and have choosen sound "001 M3 grand".
I then want a apegriator , and want to record the midi to cubase. When I test play it to the beat in cubase, it works perf, but when I record, all the midi info/notes gets really messed up. So I cant record with any arpegriators,....

Really hope some of you pro M3 users can help me out here!
Thanks in advance!

Btw, My setup is like this:
I have a Korg M3 connected to my computer thru USB, and stereo jacks to my RME fireface 400 audio interface. I record in Cubase 4.

You are correct about problem 1, you have to buy the extended memory board to load ALL the new sounds, but you can unload some of the sounds loaded and load the ones you want such as the stereo grand piano by pushing the media button and checking for the proper tab at the bottom. Sorry I don't have my m3 available presently to say exactly which tab. If not there check your manual.

As for the other probs - can't help - Good Luck hope this helps
