'''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.
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).

=== Organizing 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.

=== MIDI ===
Each performance/slot is assigned its own MIDI PC (program change) number. The performance and slot can also be changed via MIDI CC, which is helpful if your controller allows assigning CC's but not PC's. For more, see [[Kemper KPA External Control#MIDI Reference]].
When switching performances, a slot may be auto-loaded depending on System Menu settings for "Perf. Load":
* '''Pending''' - switching performances will not switch the loaded rig until a slot is selected
* '''Slot 1''' - automatically switch to the first slot of the new performance
* '''Keep Slot''' - automatically switch to the slot of the new performance that's the same as current slot of current performance
Additionally in the "Edit" > "Slot Settings" > "MIDI Settings" soft button pages, you can assign up to two MIDI PC messages to be sent to the two external devices assigned [[Kemper KPA System and Rig Settings#Pedal/Footswitch/MIDI Settings|in the System menu]] when the performance is selected.

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.
