 == Performance Mode ==
 '''Performance Mode''' is designed to make organizing rigs for live playing easier.  Rigs are arranged in '''performances''', with each performance having 5 '''slots''' of rigs.  The display LCD reflects the performance name and slot selected, along with the rig name.  There's less clutter on the screen that would be helpful for finding and editing rigs but could be distracting when playing live.  Performance Mode also reduces the latency between switching rigs.

 Many people like to use a real guitar cabinet on stage behind them; but rather than mic'ing it to use for the house PA and their stage monitors, they want to use the KPA's cab/mic tone.  This is possible by using the "Monitor Cab Off" option in the Output block.  This will bypass the cab profile for the rig when using the monitor output.  So send that to your real guitar cab to send it just the sound of the amp profile (plus effects), while the amp + cab profile is sent out the main outputs to the PA and monitors.

 On the other side, not as many features are available as in Browse mode.  Also, there are less total rigs available - while Browse mode has a maximum of 1,000 rigs, Performance mode is limited to 625 (125 performances).

 Like rigs, amp profiles, and cab profiles, performances have their own set of tags.  These can be viewed and edited via the "Edit" soft button.  It also allows you to change performance-based settings, such as key, tonality, and the performance tempo.  The subsequent "Slot Settings" page allows quick reordering and renaming of slots within a performance.

 There is an option to "include in Browse pool".  This will save tweaks to Performance Mode rigs to corresponding rigs in Browse Mode.
-Any changes made to any rig in a performance require the entire performance to be saved to save those changes.  Changes to one slot within a performance will remain even if you load a different slot within the same performance, but will be lost once changing to a different performance.
