While the Kemper is an incredible studio tool, it's also very well suited for performing live. It features a performance mode to accommodate such as well as numerous features that make things easier.
== Performance Mode =='''Performance Mode''' is designed to make organizing rigs for live performanceplaying easier. Rigs are arranged in '''performances''', with each performance having 5 '''slots''' of rigs. 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. The display LCD reflects the performance name and slot selected, along with the rig name. Additionally, some MIDI functionality is altered/enhancedThere's less clutter on the screen that would be helpful for finding and editing rigs but could be distracting when playing live. Finally, latency between switching rigs is reduced. Rig tempo settings can be overridden with the performance's tempo setting, as seen below.
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 ==
Performances can be saved to the KPA [[Kemper KPA Storing/Recalling Rigs, Presets, and Backups|just like rigs]] and quickly ordered using the soft buttons. Additionally, [[Kemper KPA Rig Manager|Rig Manager]] supports performances, allowing quick ordering and backing up of Performances outside of the KPA itself.
