Hi Everyone,
must admit the features on the kn7 never cease to amaze. I've been fiddling round with mine for over a year now and yesterday I accidently leaned on them and discovered that the pads play while in Easy Composer mode.
A lot of you may have already noticed that, but for me it's great news.

It will be a great way of auditioning style parts that don't exist in Easy Composer mode while in the process of creating an easy composer style.

ie pad riffs from midifiles or converted styles, or even parts from internal kn7 styles.

Good excuse to create & build up a big pad library.
Going one step further, building a style part using easy composer for the pad riff. ie being able listen to the pad riff and scrolling thru the easy composer drums parts, bass parts etc and creating a style part that works with the riff.

Finally actually incorporating the pad riff as a permanent part of the style. A bit more complicated, but the tools are in the kn7 for doing it.

I've converted the odd style that no matter what you do, it just doesn't work. ( usually the drums are the culprit) The style may contain a good piano arpeggio, or guitar strums etc
One way of using them maybe to turn them into a pad, and then use easy composer to build up a new style or even use an existing kn style and mute any accomp. parts that clash.

There are all sorts of possibilties.

I created some piano pads yesterday.
