Kemper KPA Storing/Recalling Rigs, Presets, and Backups

The Profiling Amp can store and load entire rigs, section presets, and individual block presets. Rigs contain all the blocks in the signal chain, including the amp and cab profile blocks, as well as additional rig-level settings, such as tempo. Section presets contain all the settings for the blocks within the section - including the amp/cab profiles in the case of the stack section.

Storing, Loading, and Deleting Rigs

Storing

Storing rigs is performed by pressing the Store button. If you are in edit view for an effect block, you'll get a dialog to select whether you want to save the block or entire rig; select entire rig. If the current rig was loaded from the KPA itself (as opposed to loading from the Rig Exchange or Local Library via Rig Manager), you'll get another dialog to Replace the current rig or Store As a new rig. Now you'll be brought to naming dialog. Once finished naming, press the Store button again.

The KPA can store a maximum of 1,000 rigs - you'll get an error if you try to store a rig using Store As once you hit 1,000 rigs.

You can only store rigs directly to the KPA, not to Rig Manager or a USB stick.

Loading

Rigs can be loaded directly from the profiler itself, or via Rig Manager. While in browser mode, the D-pad left/right buttons will load the previous/next rig. Up/Down skip to the next group of rigs depending on how they are sorted. For instance, if sorted by name, up/down skip to the next rig with a different first letter for the name - this is handy for quickly jumping through profiles.

Another way to load rigs directly from the profiler controls is to turn the Browse knob. This will bring up the rig browser view. The browse knob can be used to cycle through rigs, and you can also navigate by using the d-pad buttons. Holding the d-pad buttons will cycle through them quickly, as though you are tapping it very quickly. Notice the checkbox for auto-load under the soft-button. If checked, every time you highlight a new rig, it will automatically be loaded. This may make it easier to quickly audition rigs, but it will also take longer to scroll between rigs.

The simplest way to load rigs is via Rig Manager, as noted on the Rig Manager page.

Rigs cannot be directly loaded from a USB stick plugged into the KPA. They will have to be imported first.
