Am I missing what should be an obvious feature in the Rig Manager Editor? Help!

  • First, full disclosure. I just connected my KPA PowerRack to my PC for the very first time, last night...despite owning my Kemper since 2015.


    However, I am not a luddite. :)


    I have previously been content in operating my KPA like a traditional amp, i.e. manually adjusting it from the front control panel. I did all updates, backup and loading of rigs via a USB thumb drive. In any event, I have finally gotten around to wishing to use the editor, built in to Rig Manager.


    I have also read and familiarized myself with the most up-to-date Rig Manager User Manual.


    Question --> When using Rig Manager Editor, and once you have loaded a Rig into the edit buffer (double-clicking) and begin modifying/editing it (e.g., changing Cabs, adjusting parameters in the Reverb block, etc.), is there any simple way to COMPARE it to the original, unedited Rig?

    I was hoping that the Editor allowed such a feature, and the ability to rapidly toggle back and forth between the original (saved) preset/rig, and the current iterated state of the edited/modified rig.


    Cheers,

    John

  • Not simple but make a compare folder in RM. Before editing drag the original rig to this folder. Make your changes. Drag again to the compare folder. Click back and forth to compare.

  • Hey Brother John,


    Hopefully it'd be a "simple" matter of doubling the size of the edit buffer / allowing 2 Rigs to reside therein in order to implement a compare feature.


    I'd be all-for-it, especially 'cause the synths I've used over the past 37 years forced one to make do with toggling an undo button that applied to a single parameter only. Some of the more-recent synths may have finally gone beyond this I suspect, but at any rate I'm just suggesting that this M.O. has been the historical norm in the synth world at least.
