Burkhard, thank you for the explanation of the numbers representing an assigned midi program change.
What was happening was when using the left - right rig navigation buttons it was only scrolling through the rigs with assigned midi numbers (all remained available and loaded when using browser knob).
I'm sure it's user error on my part, I've had so much fun playing I haven't taken any time to learn more about the unit, I just happened to notice some rigs were not showing up while using rig navigation buttons.
I shut the unit down a couple of times and booted back up with no results, so I went to system - factory rigs - import all factory rigs. Even after import all factory rigs nothing changed initially so I shut the unit down. I turned it on this afternoon and all is back to normal.
Thank you for taking the time to help, it is much appreciated.

Have had the Kemper for a few weeks now, after initial setup I've been able to use the Rig Navigation buttons to go through presets. Haven't done much exploring outside of that, go to the next preset and play for a while.
Looked at the manual and found by pressing and holding the Rig button I could save a rig to favourites, so I started over at #1 and began saving a few that stood out for me.
I had 240 some presets originally and they are still there but now I must access them with the browse knob, if I use the navigation buttons it only shows 128. When using the browse knob I'll choose #180, but when loaded it will be a number in the nineties.
I'm on All Rigs and By Name. I had worked my way up to 140 before I started over and began saving favorites.
Any ideas where I may have fouled up a setting, thinking of going back to out of the box state if possible and reloading the latest updates again. Been reading posts, just not seeing a similar occurrence, may not be using correct wording when doing a search.

Thanks for the welcome to the forum!
Very pleased with this purchase, haven't had the desire to just sit and play for several years and right now I'm stoked every time I walk into the house knowing I get to play!
Will be awhile before I dive into the Kempers capabilities, just pull up a rig and play for a couple of hours, have only scrolled through a portion of the presets so far.
I'm so impressed with the tone I'm getting through the Mustang (bypassing the front end, just using the power amp and speaker) I cant imagine what the Kemper sounds like through a better amplification system.
Will be doing a lot more reading on the forum in the future, doubt I'll be able to contribute anything of any value here for quite sometime other than sheer giggles every time I pluck a string, and that's pretty much lost in translation in written form

Hello all!
Been looking to buy an amp for sometime. 34 years of playing and have never purchased what most would consider a decent amp, but I've had fun none the less.
On Fathers Day the store I usually buy from had a sell and I was ready to pull the trigger on a Mesa Boogie Mark V35, same price as the Kemper Rack. Called my sells rep and he recommended the Kemper or Helix (company 10% off sell didnt apply to mesa boogie).
No Kemper products were in stock, almost went with Helix but backed out. Found the Kemper Rack in stock at a store in California and they matched the 10% off price (tried several other online dealers, none would price match).
Soooo... My wife bought the Kemper for me... the honey do list will last for years
Just going through presets still and starting to twist a few knobs on amp parameters just to see what happens. I purchased a Fender Mustang III a few years ago, just playing at home these days and it is light to move around, sorta lost interest.
Plugged the Kemper into the effects loop input of the Fender for now, surprisingly good sound, haven't had fingers this sore in years, loving it!
