Has anyone ever succeeded in using an expression pedal or other means to effect continuous/smooth tempo changes in realtime on their KN keyboards and/or PR digital ensembles, so that the music can be imparted with a very live feel, able to be sped up and slowed down instantaneously by the desired amount, as is necessary when the piece calls for a lot of rubato, or when one is accompanying/playing with some singer(s) and/or solo player(s)?

You are making a good point Khia. An exciting song should not end at the same tempo it starts, (In my opinion) The change should be felt. Even when we become excited our speach begings to pick up a bit.

I sometimes use a tempo comtroll in the panel memory when playing live.
