→External Expression Pedals and Footswitches
The KPA has extensive, intuitive support for external controllers, and some products are made specifically for control of the KPA. The three main types of control are analog expression pedals/footswitches, MIDI, and the Kemper Remote.
== External Expression Pedals and Footswitches ==
The KPA has 2 stereo jacks on the back of the unit that can be connected to expression pedals or footswitches. Expression pedals should be stereo and connected with a stereo cable. Footswitches can be mono or stereo. Additionally, up to 4 expression pedals can be connected to the Kemper Remote.
=== System Menu Settings ===
Pages 5 - 10 cover how expression pedals or footswitches behave. Pedals 1 and 2 cover the two inputs on the back of the KPA, while Pedals 3 - 6 refer to inputs on the official Kemper remote. The setup done here is simply mapping the pedal's anolog input to that appropriate MIDI CC # (1 for wah, 7 for volume, 4 for pitch, and 73 for monitor volume).
Note: if you only have one expression pedal, you can still use it to control wah, volume, and pitch with some additional [[#MIDI Assignments and Settings|MIDI setup below]]. The KPA is actually very smart about this, and you don't really ever need more than one expression pedal, unless you like to have dedicated pedals, or have your wah/pitch with a spring in it to push it back to heel position, or do some crazy stuff where you jump between pedals.
