• Go back to the unpacked backup folder on your MAC desktop e. g. 2012-07-13 17-27-25.backup.

Backup folder on your USB-stick.

• Restore this backup on your KPA
• Congratulations! You just cleaned up your KPA.
Now is an excellent time to create a new backup of your ‘clean’ KPA. This new backup archive will carry the
actual time stamp in its name. You should add this backup archive to the backup folder on your Mac (same
folder as in step 15).
All this should be done with caution and conscious, that these files do contain your precious data. You
should always keep a copy of the original backup file, before you even start to manipulate content. Don’t
modify file names! Renaming of rigs or local presets needs to be done on the KPA. If you should delete
rigs, which have a Midi Program Change # assigned, this won’t cause any inconsistencies, because these
assignments will be reset automatically during the restore on the KPA. If you stick to these rules, it’s safe,
you won’t lose any data, and the KPA will perform well.
