Andy, Because pad-songs are sequences, they should always play in time with the currently selected song tempo. If they don't, then check UT SEQ SETUP/Use Tempo...

I tried the KX-100 but to be honest, it didn't quite do it for me. It's not that it's a bad amp - not by a long way - it just didn't have that extra "oomph"...

Hi all, I definitely support the "must have keyboard amp" rule if you don't have a PA. You do need the range. I picked up a Fender KXR 100 when I bought my...
