you don't need to record them into the 7k, Graham. Just save as a midi file from Band in a Box or any other program and copy direct to the kn pad from the 7k sequencer.

Didn't I once make some 6k pads to play in your 9000pro?

I use user pads all the time... a great feature. Sequence with them when you don't need a composer and only need 2 tracks with several voices backing. The creation features are as good as the composer really.
