=== Pedal Calibration ===
Be sure to calibrate any pedal that you add to the KPA or after you update the KPA's firmware/OS. You can find that setting in [[Kemper KPA System and Rig Settings#External Expression Pedal/Footswitch Setup|pages 5 - 10 of the System menu]].

=== External Expression Pedal/Footswitch Setup ===
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 Kemper also accepts MIDI CC messages to control its various parameters. In fact, 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).
If you only have one expression pedal, you can still use it to do both wah and volume with some [[Kemper KPA External Control#Expression Pedals/Footswitches|additional setup]].
Pedal Type refers to the polarity of the expression pedal - type 1 is the normal type (Roland), while type 2 is reversed (Yamaha).
This is also where you would come to calibrate a new pedal, or after updating your KPA's firmware/OS. You simply press the button then do a full sweep.
=== Remote Display ===
Page 11 has some features similar to pages 1 dealing with the LCD display on the official Kemper remote.
=== MIDI Assignments and Settings ===
While in Browser mode, page 12 allows you to assign the current rig to a MIDI Program Change number, as well as view all the MIDI assignments. Note, these are only for Browser mode, not performance mode, where more than MIDI bank of 128 rigs each can be assigned.
While in Performance mode, page 13 allows assigning external devices to the MIDI Out and Thru ports, as well as giving them device names, and specifying which channels the Kemper should use to communicate with them.
Page 14 has some settings for allowing an expression pedal that was set to Wah Wah on pages 5 - 10 or MIDI CC 1 to also control volume or pitch-shifting, when not being used for a wah wah effect. It also has settings for sending the KPA's MIDI clock to external devices and setting the MIDI global channel (omni by default). And you can also see the current MIDI CC values for 4 of the most likely used CC's, controlling modulation, pitch, volume, and monitor volume.
