I had this problem with my KPA (FW 2.2.0 public beta). I was playing a gig and happened a short blackout, so the KPA switched off.
When I tried to switch on again the KPA, it didn't work at all: it was just dead, just like if there was no power supply (of course power supply was ok when I tried to switch the KPA on!!).
After about 15 minutes I tried again to switch on, and everything worked properly.
Why? Is it normal? Any ideas?

It's a common way to protect electrical circuitry from electrical surges - a capacitor needs to discharge before the system can be turned on again.
It's about 7 or 8 minutes for the profiler, in my experience.EDIT: you should be able to discharge faster by pulling the electrical plug out and turning it 'on'.

Thanx a lot! I was worried that something was wrong with my unit!

I would suggest a small UPC battery backup for just those odd instances. i use one for my KPA and Gr55 just to stop the discharge and booyup time on stage. Thare is further info on another thread.

There's no hope, Gianfranco...Next steps are:
1. Take the wiki printouts door to door
2. Have each user forcibly read the important sections immediately for at least 3 hours, while standing over their heads.
3. If they don't comply, you confiscate the KPA and replace it with a Zoom -
hehe, what I heard was "somebody ELSE add that to the wiki"

... I feel you mate!
I guess it's in the nature of modern times to use online forums to ask things. I can understand that,mostmany don't read manuals and find more natural to just try, fail and endlessly ask their friends about things. Socially speaking it's a "natural" (pardon the contraddiction) fact.Furthermore, many people support the wiKPA as a concept, but never use it

"The wiKPA (i/WIKei-pee-ei) is a collection of KPA-related contents (originally published as a pdf document and currently being ported on-line) which is nice to have around but that very few use."

There have been online projects in history that were less successful.
Little more than 80,000 page views already for a niche Wiki about a niche product is not to bad I think.
But yes, I always have to shake my head and roll my eyes when I read something like "someone wiki that".
This Wiki is for everyone. Everyone can register and edit/add content .... E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E.
So please don't ask others to do the work you could have done already.Cheers,
