This is an interesting topic John and it will be interesting to see what others have to say on the subject.

However, for myself, I cannot really say how I use the pads but, USE THEM I DO - almost with everything I play and to be honest, for me, the pads are the most important facility missing on the Tyros 3.

O.K. I know there are Multipads on the T3 but they are nowhere near as good, or controllable, as the KN7s, plus the little 'rifts/phrases' on pads 5 & 6 are not available at all on the T3 which I really do miss, as I use these often whilst turning over the music pages or linking a medley of songs.

Which, and when, do I use them? The tune I am playing usually 'suggests' which pad(s) and when to use them.

Thanks for raising this topic John - great idea.
