I'd like to know these answers too, aslong as might friend doesn't mind me putting a chip in his FCB1010 that I've borrowed 
To the best of my knowledge, the FCB1010 does not support firmware updates which is why the chip must be replaced when upgrading to the UNO chip. The UNO is a firmware for the FCB1010. What I've heard is somewhat confusing suggesting the UNO firmware is getting a KPA specific firmware. That doesn't really make sense. So either Kemper (or a third party) is going to be selling a KPA chip for the FCB or they'll be offering a sysex file for the UNO preprogrammed for the KPA and/or enable 2 way communication for the KPA.
Can someone confirm at Musikmesse today that it will be a sysex file, as opposed to a pre-programmed chip?
Damn I've just upgraded my FCB with the Uno chipset.
Curious to known the difference with the Uno. The Uno with the kemper work like a charm for me.
How much is the chip going to be, can't believe the KFC won't have any expression pedals on nevermind

Me too. Unless there's some very specific integration which can't be done from the FCB, I'll pass. My bet is they're doing something like the Eureka Proms for the FCB, which were essentially pre-mapped firmwares with 1 or 2 specific functions.
UNO is not working good for me. When I turn a stomps off the leds turn off on the Wah and volume then I have to step on the rig again.
I just can't seem to get it working all together. Hope the new F/W works better.

You haven't programmed it correctly. Stomp mode isn't a new feature of the UNO, it simply corrects the state of LEDs of the "stomp switches" Each is actually still a full FCB preset, meaning if you don't want your expression pedals to change when you step on a stomp switch, you have to program them as such.
Mine works fine. However, I'm hoping that the custom KPA version is implemented with some 2-way communication, so that the display is integrated ...

There's not much to the programming it's straight forward.
Is there a way to have the volume pedal pre or post amp?
Edit: had the expression pedal on NC instead of ON. Works now.

2-way communication would be sweet.

you set the volume pedal position on the KPA, not on the FCB. There are 5 positions I think.

I can't find that Will. Where would that be located?

Pretty sure its in the rig menu. I'm not at home at the moment.
Thanks Will I found it looking at the wiKPA.
Didn't think to look in the rigs.
I just purchased the UNO chip last week. I guess I'll wait and see what happens before I install it.
To sum up what I heard today at the Messe:
Xavier, the guy who makes the UnO chip, is working on an eprom specifically for the KPA.
This eprom will enable the FCB
- for a special learn mode
- 2 way communication ( i.e. switching an FX on the KPA will reflected on the FCB)
- tuner LEDs will be visible on FCB display.
THAT sounds pretty cool. Borrowed a FCB from a friend. Now waiting for this Eprom.
