Just a hunch, but if you have a KCR2, make sure it is powered if it is connected to the AUX port. A couple of weeks ago, I had unplugged the power cable form the KCR2, and when the rig was powered on, it hung and did all sorts of odd things, including not powering off in response to the K3 front panel power switch. After I pulled the AUX cable from the KCR2, things started working again.
Nowadays, I ensure the KCR2 is either not on the AUX bus, or is powered up when the K3 is powered up.
