Dont add Duplicate Effect Presets

  • i bought a kemper stage and dragged the Factory effect presets to my profiler but i got lots of of duplicate presets, i dragged to folder to not miss any presets,


    I had to delete the duplicates 1 by 1, and there were lots hehehe, would be nice to dont let add duplicate presets like in rigs, you get a message that some rigs were not added because they were already in the profiler


    thanks!

    I totally agree too. I hate when that happen and now at least if I use rig manager it goes faster to delete than when all profiles where in the kemper and to press and delete. Press and delete. Press and delete. Press and....:rolleyes:

    I don't understand why I or any other have come up with this before. :/:whistling::S

  • Normally it isn't possible to add real duplicate factory presets nor factory Rigs. If two items appear with identical names, there is one older and one newer version - you can check their different creation dates. In Rig Manager you can sort the presets by creation date and delete the older ones in one go. If you find two presets with identical names plus identical time stamps in your PROFILER pool, you should open a support ticket and investigate the case. That should not happen.


    While we have done frequent house-keeping on the Rigs - there are specific factory Rigs, which have been updated multiple times during the years - I'm not aware we ever did that without changing names. There might be just a few exceptions.


    However, in current OS it is possible that you load a factory preset, change settings, and store/replace the preset with your own settings. This way it receives a new creation date. And if you now import the original preset again, you will see two presets with identical names, but different settings. We don't intend to delete nor replace any Rigs nor presets, that you stored yourself.


    I you intend to update your complete set of factory effect presets, I suggest you delete those upfront and then import the complete set from the current Factory Content via Rig Manager.

  • However, I confirm that it happens systematically. I deleted all the presets and re-imported the whole 8.0 pack. If I push it back a second time, the presets are doubled even though they have the same name and the same date. It's the same with Rigs and it is clearly very little practice every day!

  • I can reproduce duplications with effect presets, not with other presets and not with Rigs. Be aware, that some of our factory Rigs were revised with OS 7.0. Their names might be identical, but time stamps are different.

  • Indeed, my confusion with rigs is related to the OS 7 revision, thank you for this information!


    But it would be great to have the same behavior with the presets.

  • This is about Profiles:


    Delete Bert Meulendijk II from Kemper Factory Content 8 (306) - This is duplicates from Bert Meulendijk II (19) Rig Pack

    Also delete Keith Merrow from Rig Exchange (some files duplicate from Keith Merrow (16) rig Pack)

    Also Willi Dammeier with identical names from Rig Exchange

  • I'm having that same problem. I didn't have the Kemper drive effects, so I just added factory content. Got the drive, but doubled up the others. I tried deleting from profiler, then reinstall from local library. Same result. It doesn't show up as double in the rig manager.( Preset space 1206/my profiler 434/local library434/ preset pack 338.) Confused.

  • The Rigs that come preinstalled with the PROFILER are called factory content and are a selection of Rigs from other Rig packs covering different instruments and musical genres. So it's natural that there are duplicates in Rig Manager comparing Factory Content 8 with other Rig packs.


    The value of the Factory Content 8 is, that any installed base user can install this very same selection in one go, that represents the current as delivered state. Be aware, that it is not possible to import the very same Rig multiple times. If a Rig is already present in your browse pool, it will not be imported a second time, if Rig name and creation date/time are identical.


    This thread is about an issue of effect presets, not Rigs.
