See For setting up pedals, analog footswitches, or footcontrollers, see [[Kemper KPA External Control]]. Additionally, you can assign MIDI program change numbers to up to 128 rigs in Browse Mode. And you can define MIDI channels for up to 2 external devices - this is for [[Kemper KPA Performing Live#MIDI|sending MIDI PC's to those devices when changing performance slots in Performance Mode]]. {{top}}
See This is where you can enable/disable tempo for the current rig, manually specify the rig's tempo setting, as well as globally lock tempo. If in Performance Mode, you can also specify if the performance tempo overrides the rig tempo. For more on tempo, see [[Kemper KPA Performing Live#Tempo]]. {{top}}

=== LED/Display Settings ===
Pages 1-3 of the System menu contains numerous parameters for controlling the colors and brightness of not only the main display but also various sets of buttons and LEDs.

==== Remote Display ====
Page 11 has some features similar to pages 1 dealing with the LCD display on the official Kemper remote.

=== 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)
{{top}}
=== Interface Options ===
* '''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''' - determines if and which performance slot is automatically loaded when switching performances. See [[Kemper KPA Performing Live#MIDI]]. {{top}}
=== Audio Options ===
* '''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.

=== Pedal/Footswitch/MIDI Settings ===
=== Date/Time and Version ===
Page 15 contains the date and time (and buttons to edit), while page 17 contains version information.
{{top}}
=== Erase Non-Favorites ===
Page 16 is called Rig Management and has a single button to erase all profiles stored in the KPA that are not marked as favorites. I recommend not using this button since Rig Manager can more easily be used to delete the desired rigs. If you do find yourself wanting to use this, be sure to do a backup to a USB drive first.

=== Snapshots ===
'''Snapshots''' are basically a quick way to do a Store As, saving a copy of the entire rig; however, rather than being stored in the "Browse Pool", it is stored separately. While in Browse Mode, one of the soft buttons allows you to take a snapshot. From the Rig Menu, you can access the pool of all snapshots.

=== Panorama ===
This setting allows you to pan the KPA output to either side of the stereo spectrum.
