Up to 128 rigs can be assigned PC numbers in Browse Mode from a page in the system menu - you can also see all the rigs assigned to PC's here.
In Performance Mode, each performance/slot is automatically assigned a PC number based on the order of performances, and slots within each performance. Even disabled slots are assigned a PC #. Notice this only allows about 25 of the 125 performances (or 128 of the 625 slots) available. If you need to access more, you can use a MIDI bank select command before the program change, which is implemented as MIDI CC #0 for the most significant byte (MSB) and #32 for the least significant byte (LSB). While bank selects typically use 2 MIDI bytes, the KPA only requires a range of 0-4 to access all slots via PC. It will ignore any CC #0 bank select MSB messages. CC 32 can be used by itself to change which rigs the KPA accesses via PC. Sending a value of 0 over CC 32 accesses the first 128 slots (performance 1 slot 1-128performance 26 slot 3), CC 32 value 1 accesses 129the next 128 (performance 26 slot 4 -256performance 52 slot 1), etc. up to a max of CC 32 value 4, which will put PC access beyond the available 625 rigs.
Note - it is recommended to use CC's 48-49 (or 47) for selecting performances, then using CC's 50-54 to select which slot to load. This aligns both with the KPA's performance/slot organization and with footcontrollers that typically feature bank up/down switches as well as a row of switches to change patches/rigs. There's no need to use complicated math to try to figure out which PC or bank select index is required to load a particular performance/slot.

Most foot controllers support some form of programming what each footswitch will send, and if the footswitch should toggle its value. For example, if you assign FS1 to turn Stomp A on/off, you should be able to set FS1 to light up after pressing it (and it sends a 1 (on) value, indicating you've turned it on. Now if you press it again, the light turns off, and it sends a 0 (off) value.

DAWs can either directly or through plug-ins send the MIDI messages needed to have near full control of the Kemper. They will not be limited strictly to CC's or NRPN - using SysEx, the full parameter list to the KPA is open. Alternatively, you could simply send the CC values you want to control. Volume is actually the least necessary parameter - you can more easily control the volume of tracks inside your DAW. EQ perhaps as well. Compression may also have better options in the DAW. Delay, Reverb, and Mod effects is up to you. Things like Gain or rig changes would be things you'd need to access this way. With automated rig changing, you could set up all the changes necessary for a whole song, or even an entire setlist.
== Morphing ==
OS 4.0 introduces '''Morphing''', a feature where any continuous parameter can be defined the following:
Multiple (any or all) continuous parameters, including those in the Amp and Cab blocks can be assigned a morph value. While some view this feature as a multiple-parameter gimmick, if nothing else it allows continuous control over ''any'' continuous parameter, greatly expanding the out the box functionality of any expression pedal. Morph values can be set higher or lower than the base value. The expression pedal heel position corresponds to the base value, and the toe position the morphed value.
The morphing procedure with a "morph" pedal connected is to rock the pedal towards the toe position before changing a value. When you change the value, you'll see an "M" appear next to it, so you know this is the full morph value (toe position). If not using a pedal, tap the Rig button. It has a bottom LED and top LED - the LEDs switch when Rig is tapped. The bottom is the base value, and the top is the morphed. So press Rig until the bottom LED is on; set your base parameters; then press Rig so the top LED is on and set your morph parameters. That's all there is to it. The assigned morph pedals or switches will now control those parameters.
Morph settings are saved per rig. To erase a morph for a given parameter, either reset the morph value to match the base value, or sweep the base value through the range of the morph value (if base is 1.0 and morph is 4.0, sweeping the base value from < 1.0 to > 4.0 will clear the morph entirely).
