sound like one lucky 14 year old, google logic tutorials son,doe'snt really matter what type of music they're for, learn the basics and take it the way you want to! not a clue bout your microkorg but try googling it, there's away to set up your korg hardware to integrate into logic though i'm a software only guy so dont know exactly how

good luck

Forget everything else and just concentrate on learning the in's and outs of Logic for now. You don't need anything but software and skill to make good dubstep.

You answered your own question.

true you dont need hardware but its a hell of a lot more fun to record sessions of gear and slice them up later

and leads to a cooler sound in my opinion, cause you learn how to deal with audio 10000 times better/quicker than those who have never sampled anything but one shot drum hits and focus on midi only

There are some good tutorials about (youtube can be really clear as you can see what peeps are doing within logic), try and rip off a couple of tunes to start with, like copy the parts. This will help you get an understanding of how things work. Alternatively you could be creative, mite take longer but there is scope for more of a natural evolution into your sound. Trying to improve your sound makes you look into new techniques and broadens your horizons.

Bro, you're 14 and have some of the illest kit to fuck with.

Start by reading the manual so you know how your kit works.

Then spend every day you're not at school (or seeing to girls) experimenting with your kit and reading up on music related subjects!!!

I'm not the only one who would have killed for that kind of kit at aged 14. Count yourself lucky and use it.

Logic is tough to start out on, it was for me at least, back when there were virtual patch cables everywhere. Yek.

I'd start slow, with maybe audacity - play your drum beat on the korg, record into audacity. Loop that playback and play your bass line, until you get something you like, then record that. Make some variations of those parts and then arrange them. Oh my god, you've got a song?

Harder than it sounds
