Instructions for Mac users
• Download and install GuiTar on your Mac
• http://download.cnet.com/GUI-Tar/3000-2250_4-48290.html
• Create a backup of your KPA data on your USB-stick (KPA User Manual page 36).
• Remove the USB-stick from your KPA and plug the USB-stick with the backup into your MAC.
• Open the USB-Stick by double-clicking on its icon.
• Open the Folder Backups, which contains your KPA backup archives e. g. 2012-07-13 17-27-25.kpabackup.
The archive name indicates the time, when it was created on the KPA.
• Select the latest backup and drag it to your desktop.
• Add the sux ”.tar“ to the filename. Select the ”use .tar“ option in the pop-up window that appears. You
will now see a tar archive on your desktop with a name like 2012-07-13 17-27-25.kpabackup.tar
• Double-click on the tar archive and you will see a regular data folder on your desktop with a name like
2012-07-13 17-27-25.backup.
• Double click on this folder.
• Now you see the various folders for rigs and dierent kinds of local presets.
• Double click on the folder Rigs.
• Here you find one file for each rig on your KPA.
• Now you can start your clean-up work and delete rigs, which you don’t need anymore.
• As soon as you are done with your clean-up work, close all folders.
• Now is the right time to store the original backup archive in a safe place on your Mac and avoid conflicts
with the new cleaned-up backup archive, which will carry exactly the same filename. Select the original
backup archive on your USB-stick and copy this into a folder on your Mac, where you store all your KPA-
backups. Should you accidentally delete a rig during the clean-up process, you can always restore this
backup and recover all your data.
