As a previous Pod and M13 user, I think the things I miss the most are the synth filters, and a wider variety of reverbs. In the setup in which I currently perform, I often take synth leads from the keyboardists that perform with me at church because they often hide in the mix with a piano with pads (makes my job more fun!). Since moving to the KPA, I've made due with modulations and pitch tricks to a likeable effect, but I still find myself missing the synthy string filters and I REALLY miss the modulated reverb that sustained out my guitar with a keyboard-like pad.. I've tried to route the HD500x, and also (separately) the M13 through the loop with noticeable shaping and coloration to my signal (not a KPA loop problem, a Line 6 problem). I would love to see some synth filters and also some more reverbs like a shimmer verb, or having more parameters found in other units like the EH cathedral verb. Obviously these aren't and shouldn't be a make or break on this unit, but I'd much rather abandon pedals and have a simpler setup that furthers even more the testament of how versatile and player friendly the KPA is.

+1 to as many more filters they would like to add
Some of these things are available, with some tweaking, as you have discovered. Please upload your favorites to the Rig Exchange
Look for "ruppert" rigs on the Rig Exchange - he has posted some very useful sounds.
I've put some synth-y sounds on the rig exchange, too, as well as shimmer, strings, and others.
Here is a SoundCloud playlist with some of them, but, there are more on the Rig Exchange.

+1. I'd love to have more FX.
