FX LOOP Not working after Beta Update

  • Just updated firmware to latest Beta mainly for SPDIF reason and all of a sudden my FX loop is not functioning. I verified the loop is getting the send and the return path is good too. Not sure what happened? Anybody know of any issues with this subject. I used Rig manager to do the update.

  • huh. that is truly weird. I'm using both mono and stereo loops no problem. A blind shot in the dark - I've kept my KPA at 44.1k, are you using a higher sampling rate? Not sure if that would make a difference, but it's one of the bigger parts of the update.

    Did you activate the monitor stereo option in the 5.5 update? This will override the direct out FX loop.

    I'm using Mono loop in the X slot, with 5.5, works well at 96KHz over here.

  • I did not activate Monitor stereo and I checked to make sure it was not activated. It's not. It does not matter what clock I am set at either. I literally verified loop was working then updated to 5.5 and as soon as it was done its not working.

  • Are you putting the loop in one of the Stomps? Have you tried in the X slot?

  • I have been using the Kemper for a few years now and I have always used it in one of the stomps. I didn't try to move it or recreate it yet. I did change the direct out source and immediately the loop is audible because it does not need to be initiated by a switch, but thats not how I want to use it. It is another verification that it is connected correctly though.

  • Me too.


    I use an EH Synth9 pedal. It really needs to see a raw guitar so I plug straight into it. The dry output goes to the Kemper front input, the synth out to the Kemper's return socket. Not quite the norm I know but I've tried it every other way and this is the only way it works properly. In the latest Beta, I had to change the aux levels in the Output settings to hear the Synth9 at all and then I realised that the settings in the Loop block no longer have any effect.


    I'd not changed anything else, it was working perfectly before the update; I could control the Synth9's mix per patch, morph it, change the ducking.... Not a thing now. I'm using a mono loop in the X slot but it's the same in the stomps or with a stereo loop. Tried the Aux-mono switch etc. but no joy.


    Revert to previous OS and all is well again!

  • Curious....? I assumed this was the right spot to bring these Beta Bugs to light. Am I Misunderstood? Just want to make sure the word is getting to where it really matters. I am pretty sure I am not missing something in settings. I couldn't find a similar thread. Is it really isolated to so few people? I could probably go without stepping on that switch for a while knowing if the powers that be got the message. I Don't really want to keep going back and forth with OS versions. Maybe a more thorough hard reset is nessesary? If thats a thing.... ANYBODY OFFICIAL OUT THERE :( HEARING THIS ?(:)

  • So that did it. My mono Aux level was higher than .1 and as soon as I brought it to 0 my Loop stomp started to function again. I am not sure if that is something they intended to do. Seems like a glitch. But thanks duckman that solves my issue. :thumbup:

  • I unexpectedly faced this issue while gigging last weekend. :(


    Now while looking into this more carefully, I see that there is most probably a bug/bugs and maybe also change in how FX LOOP works (details below).


    Does OP or anyone else know about open support tickets regarding the topic or should I raise one?


    Details:
    OS version: Spring Reverb Preview (5.6.2)
    FX LOOP placement: STOMP A
    PROBLEM: FX Loop signals were not included in the output even all the mentioned "Aux In >" levels were 0.0.
    FIX: After I first increased the Aux In -values above '0.1' and then backed those down again to '0.0' the FX Loop signals started to appear.
    PROBLEM REPRODUCABLE: No


    Changed FX Loop behaviour: FX Loop device (Boss RE-20) has internal Peak Level indicator and I can't get it peak even with input gain maxed from FX loop device. I recall this was earlier possible (and it is possible when moving the device between guitar (single coils/vintage output ) and KPA). Is there a known change in FX Loop signal Levels?
