I connected KPA to LapTop & as advised, here, I downloaded Rig Manager; I clicked on RM’s HELP menu & searched for UpDates to RM & it started updating KPA…. Took ALL NIGHT but I believe I’m now sorted & can use the Kemper Kone 
thanks for all the help everyone-
This is a Great Resource that I hope I can add to too!
Thanks for your help but that didn’t work either…
I have connected the laptop and the KPA With a USB cable and going into the help section and clicked on “check for software updates” it seems to offer an in-store to 7.3 .2 but each time I click on “install updates” it fails….. any advice, anyone?
There doesn’t seem to be any comments about the operating system on this rig manager program!
Hi, merseymale.
The easiest way I know is to install RigManager and let it handle the firmware updates. It will detect if your system is out of date and offer to update it for you.
Okay, I’ve downloaded rig manager and put it on my laptop what happens next…?
Did you format the USB stick using the Kemper?
loads of time & on two different sticks…
merseymale
What version of the operating system do you have installed now? Note the highlighted section in the image below.
If you need 7.3.2 go to https://www.kemper-amps.com/do…8/Older-Software-Versions
6.0.0.14574 (Which I assume was before they have the KONE feature?)
Hi, merseymale.

hmmm….
ok
(But if anyone finds a way of doing it via a USB stick that would be very helpful, thanks!)
online it has been saying that you just format a USB stick (I’ve tried two different ones) and then you download KAOS.bin and some websites have been saying just load that onto the operating system folder on the USB while the other sites have said to put it outside of the folders
I’ve tried every possible variation and the only difference is that when there is more than one KAOS.bin (say, One in the operating system folder and the other separate from any folder) KPA says that there is more than one operating system on the USB and I need to delete one
Maybe tell us what you have done so far?
Have you updated rig manager?
Thank you for your quick reply!
No I haven’t been using rig manager at all!
Do I have to use rig manager to update the operating system?
Tried everything but don’t know what to do now…
I got a KONE but no way of getting into the settings/reduce volume for it and no way of updating the OS
Display MoreMan, it's not that hard.
1. Get some profiles you like - Buy or profile yourself
2. Set up performances with those profiles
3. Play
It's all on youtube if you can't stand the manual
- b u m p! -
Display MoreIm really confused....
If your question is can the KPA and your set up do what you are asking, to me its a big yes...its how I use it.
If its not doing that ( which seems to be your problem) then there is clearly something wrong.
Suggest you start with connections and basic sounds, worry about morph second.
Are you getting these basuic sounds out of the KPA?
so, V8guitar, How do you go about setting up your KPA, please..?
And/or re-link the master and monitor if you just want to use the master volume on the front of the Kemper
RIGHT!
I think I’m Finally sorted in terms of ‘fixing’ this thing -now, if anyone has any advice regarding how to arrange things so I can have a FoolProof(yep- I said it!!) Set-Up then that’d be Great?
Cheers!
I think that may be because you unlinked it (you said you unticked the linked box)? As you’re plugged into the monitor out, you need to go into the output menu & turn up the monitor level.
Gotcha?THANKS
Suggest 1 stage at a time...Get the point where you can hear your guitar through the amp and cab that sounds similar to that through headphones.
Setting up rig manager and performance mode is next step.
The manual is also your friend here...
now this is getting too exasperating!!
I just turned the KPA on after doing NOTHING at all to it and now the master volume does nothing?!
I’m left with the profile’s own volume or my guitar’s to set output ?♂️
What’s going on..?
oK!
Well, the monitor IS set to Master Mono but the Monitor Volume was REALLY low.
I’ve just upped it to -18db, now.
Practically ALL the ‘Linked’ checkboxes were ticked so I’ve UNticked them (‘hope that’s right?!)
I’m assuming they’ll all stay that way
I believe I can “Set up Rig manager so you can easily "audition" the rigs/profiles...” OK but I’m a bit unsure about saving “...them in performance mode so (I) can easily group them into guitar settings and Bass settings.” Might need some help with that?
First stage is to get the profiles playing out of your set up. The reason I asked the basic questions is that the KPA is generally plug and play so I'm suprised you are having problems. The KPA is set up in a very similar way to a regular amp - it looks more complex than it is.
You need to check the output section is set up to cover off:
- Monitor output - set to Master mono
- Monitor volume - I think you need circa -18db ( I have the powered version so dont need to set this
- Check you volumes are not linked ( as this adds confusion - you can find this in the manual)
Once you get a decent sound and are able to choose the profiles, the next steps are:
- Set up Rig manager so you can easily "audition" the rigs/profiles you like
- Save them in performance mode so you can easily group them into guitar settings and Bass settings.
This sounds very promising!
If it’s okay with everyone and yourself i’d like to keep ya updated with what going on…!
..so what output are you using to connect to the power amp ? Mains or monitor?
I’m using the Monitor
