→Init and Factory Settings
* Startup Dialog - takes the user through the first-time dialog that appears to set the system date/time and owner name
* Factory Rigs - reloads the factory rigs onto the KPA (if you deleted them)
=== Interface Options ===
Page 3 has some interesting parameters for the user interface:
* Rig Autoload - this autoloads rigs in Browser mode while in browser view after turning the Browse Knob. If you disable autoload in browser view, you'll have to come here to re-enable it.
* Auto Favorite - this automatically sets any rig you create or edit to be a favorite. I recommend turning this off. I add my initials (MAB) onto the end of any profile I edit, which makes it quick to find via a Rig Manager search.
* Quick Function - this controls what the quick button does - I find the best option is Midi Settings, as I don't really use snapshots, and edit views for various effects/buttons are already quick to enter. Version Info is quickly found on the last page of the system settings.
* Perf. Load -
=== Audio Options ===
Page 4 has options that affect the KPA's sound output:
* Constant Latency - checking this button sets the KPA's latency to a constant 4.9ms. Otherwise, the latency is as low as possible, given the effects enabled in the rig. For multi-track reamping based on the same DI track or using multiple profilers simultaneously, you may run into phase issues if this is unchecked. For live playing or typical recording applications, you can leave this unchecked.
* Rig X-Fade Time - setting this above 0.0 allows cross-fading the volume from one rig to the next, rather than the typical drop-out (however slight) you hear when switching rigs
* Loop Lev. Adj. - you can adjust the volume level of the effects loop send here if your external gear requires alternate gain staging. This is constant across all rigs. Using the Mono Loop vs. Distortion Loop effects give you further flexibility over the send level of the loop. Mono Loop is a constant level, while Distortion Loop factors in the digital volume level of the KPA's virtual signal chain for the placement of the loop effect.
