I recently purchased the XD3, and while it is good in some ways, it is not so good in others. My greatest complaint is that on many of the presets you cannot set the tempo lower that 150, 140, beats per minute. For example, there are many old rock roll songs that play around 125 or even slower, but to use the appropriate preset, you you cannot run it slower than 140. The older Ketron Solton products all went as low as 40. You'd think an advanced unit wouldn't be taking steps backward. It should be up to me as to how slow I want a preset to run. The machine is supposedly upgradable, so maybe the company will fix this problem, I hope they will. Maybe if enough people complain, they'll get on it.
