You need a dual "momentary contact" switch like the Roland FS-6
You can set Pedal 1 or 2 input to be a "dual footswitch".
The default action of a Dual Footswitch in Performance Mode is to access the activated Performance Slots.
Yes, but if possible, consider a dual switch with stereo plug so you only need to use one of the sockets on the KPA. That leaves the option of another two switches (or a wah) in the other socket.
Also, be aware that if you press left or right when in an active "slot" at either end of a performance, the KPA moves to the next performance up or down. I'd rather it went back to the beginning (or the end) of the performance..or maybe even did nothing.
But it works just fine.
So it means that I could use two of these switches?
No - the switch in your link is a "latching" switch. The Kemper is designed to be used with "momentary" switches.
You COULD use two momentary switches, but they would be connected to the Kemper with a cable like this:

If you use two separate switches:
Gray to one switch.
Red to one switch.
Black to the Kemper.
Oops, yes as Paul said…I didn't see that it was a latching switch.

It works. You'd just have to press a switch twice

True. But, if purchasing new switches, momentary switches work with a single press, and do not cost more than latching switches.

To set the function of a footswitch, go to the system menu and scroll to the expression pedal/footswitch menu. You can then specify whether the footswitch is used to navigate slots, activate a combination of FX, etc.
Just resurrecting this thread...Im using the FS-6, the jump to the next performance is a pain, keeps happening by accident !
Also, why cant you block slots in Performance mode?
Lastly....the red led on the FS-6 don't stay on when selected...can this happen?
Thanks
The KPA uses external switches set to momentary mode. The LED switches of the FS-6 do not stay lit in momentary mode.
if you are accidentally changing performance banks, turn off "Autoload" in the Performance settings.
Mmmm...its seems that the autoload is not ON , but the footwsitch still sends it onto the next performance?
More twiddling needed.
Is there anything new on this? Most of the time I do not need the whole bandwidth of possibilities which come with the Remote. It's enough for me the be able to switch between slots of a performance via footswitch (Clean - Gain). I can change performances by hand between the songs if I need to. Which footswitch should I buy? In the KPA menu, where you can set actions for the connected switches / expression pedals there is only "Rig down / up" available and no "Slot left / right". Is the slot changing possible with FW 5.2.X? Am I missing something?
I can confirm that "Rig down" and "Rig up" modes work in performance mode too, like next/prevoius slot (or right/left). Also, if you go ahead after the last slot, it switches on the first slot of the next performance.

That was the missing bit of information. Thanks-a-lot
Can I use one button to just go through the slots? I only use 3 at a time. Just tap to go to next in a circle?
I think it's not possible, but happy to be proven wrong
