The one feature that the KN7000 introduced me to was so simple but so very effective.

The Pads ---
My favorite set-up
Pad 1 Cymbal on four beats.
Pad 2 Finger snaps (Copied form another pad)
Pad 3 Chords on all four – Guitar or piano – a little staccato.
Pad 4 Heavy bass drum on 1 and 3 and a snare on 2 and 4
Pad 5 I sequenced a IIm7 V7 chord progression and looped it.
(Dm7 G7) Great for Latin improvisation.
And Pad 6 A 12 bar chord sequence –fantastic – Play any style and press Pad 6 and you have a 12 bar blues in that style. There are so many songs that have a 12 blue progression, especially music from the 50’s and blues era.

I used the first four pads for many of the styles – they change the feel without making it to noticeable. Pad 4 is for more excitement --- Pads 1
added a slight push – Pad 3 added the feel of a guitar pushing on all four – I did a lot of that in my guitar days – and Pad 2 just made me feel easy.

John, Great suggestion. I've not used the factory pads very much -- they just seem too busy, as are many of the styles. Of course the styles are easy to take care of - changing voices, lowering volume of selected voices, complete muting of some instruments, ETC.
