Not sure, if you understood my explanation. You initially stated:

"In performance mode, if I accidentally turn the browse button, it instantly saves whatever profile comes up, , replacing the profile I had worked so hard on (Additional tweeking etc that has been done within the performance...gone!! arghhhh!!!)...There is no "undo" when this happens..Is there a way to "lock" performances and the presets within them? It's frustrating to say the least.."

And that isn't true. The stored Performance doesn't get overwritten when you turn the BROWSE knob. A load of another Rig via BROWSE knob just changes the temporary edit buffer. You can reload the original Performance and it will appear unchanged - as stored.

If you edited a Rig of a Performance e. g. in Slot 3 and then turn the BROWSE knob and select another Rig, the temporary edits are gone (not the stored Performance!) . You can avoid accidental Rig loads by unselecting Autoload. In this case a selection of another Rig needs to be followed by pressing the Load button. This will probably not happen accidentally.

All this is the behavior since day one.

If you just have one pedal and want to use it for wah exclusively, I suggest

- you leave all four boxes at the top of page "Pedal Links" unticked

- and set the Mode on those five pages Pedal n to "Off", where nothing is plugged in

-and on that page Pedal x your MP is plugged in you select Mode "Pedal Type 1" and Function "Wah Pedal".

If you press calibrate on that page and move the pedal from heel to toe the bar at the top should reflect that sweep.

The bars on page "Pedal Links" reflect the incoming pedal controllers and allow to simulate those with the four soft knobs if no pedal is available.

As you have no pedal to control pedal volume, this bar should always rest at its default position, which is maximum.

As you have no pedal to control Morphing nor pitch, these bars should always rest at their default position, which is minimum.

And the wah bar should reflect your pedal sweeps across the whole range from 0 to 127.

CC 31 values 1-127 activates Tuner,

CC31 value 0 deactivates Tuner,

and if you send another program change, Tuner Mode is left as well. That is intended behavior. When you load another Rig via Rig Buttons of the Remote, Tuner Mode is equally left.

But this has always been the case in Rig Manager!? Rig Manager has no STORE button. You can drag a Rig into a Performance which isn't even currently loaded in the PROFILER and it takes permanent effect. There is no "try out ". You can even assemble Performances or change Rig tags while no PROFILER is connected.

The Editor is different as it is linked and limited to the edit buffer currently loaded in the PROFILER. That portion has Store buttons.

Just this morning we enabled the automatic update to OS 7.1.19 beta and RM 3.0.99 beta.

Before that these beta version were only available on our download page. And if you downloaded RM 3.0.99 beta from that page, there is a hint in its description, that this RM version requires OS 7.1.19. If you installed RM 3.0.99 beta, it recognized that OS 7.1.19 is required, but was not able to execute that update automatically.

I think, the more fundamental question is, if it is a good practice for a beginner to start with a beta version. If you had installed the current Rig Manager release 7.1.5, it would have updated your PROFILER to the current OS release and finish. And RM will notify you as soon as new automatic updates are available.

If you edit a Performance on the front panel of the PROFILER, these edits are just temporary until you store the Performance. This also applies to selecting another Rig from the browse pool via BROWSE knob. If you leave the Performance without storing, these edits are lost.

If you modify a Performance in Rig Manager, changes take immediate effect. This also applies,, if you drag & drop another Rig into one of the Slots.

I cannot reproduce any exceptions from these rules under OS 7.1.19 and RM 3.0.99 beta.

There have always been placeholders and when you import you "overwrite" those. Just the count in Rig Manager works differently and now shows constantly 125.

Up to now OS 7.1.19 beta and Rig Manager 3.0.99 beta were exclusively available on the KEMPER download page.

We have now enabled automatic update via Rig Manager for those users, who have ticket "Include Beta" in their Rig Manager preferences.

Hallo,

ich habe mir gerade einen Kemper mit den FCB1010 mit UNO Eureka Chip zugelegt.

Also ein absoluter Neuling.

Angeblich Plug & Play. Aber es klapp nicht .

Anzeige im Board aktiv. Es blinken ständig 1,2,3,4 und 5. Warum ?

Schließe es hinten mit 2 Midi Kabeln an, wird aber nicht im Kemper angezeigt.

Wo ist der Fehler bwz was muss ich machen und einstellen damit das FCB funktioniert.

Wie lade ich ein Rig bzw Stonp auf ein Pedal . Bin momentan ein wenig überfordert.

Es wäre schön wenn mir jemand helfen könnte .

Gruß frank

Einen UNO Europa Chip gibt es so wenig wie einen BMW Mercedes. Kläre erst mal, welchen der beiden Chips Du wirklich hast und ob er richtig eingebaut ist und an allen Füßchen Kontakt hat. Bei UNO muß man eigentlich noch unterscheiden zwischen dem herkömmlichen Uno Chip und dem Uno4Kemper. Ich hoffe, Du hast nicht den einfachen Uno gekauft, denn der ist nur eine Erweiterung der Original-Firmware des FCB 1010 (z. B. globale Instant Access Taster) und überhaupt nicht Plug&Play.

Nach meiner Erfahrung funktionieren beide Chips (Uno4Kemper und Eureka) tatsächlich sofort, sofern die Grundeinstellungen am PROFILER nicht verkurbelt wurden. Nur die Pedale muß man bei allen Behringers ab Werk erfahrungsgemäß erst einmal kalibrieren. Stelle sicher, dass die beiden MIDI-Kabel richtig verbunden sind: jeweils Output zu Input. Bei UNO4Kemper kannst Du sofort mit den unteren fünf Tastern ein Rig laden (Browser Modus) oder einen Slot laden (Performance Mode). Mit Up/Down kannst Du sofort durch Bänke ((Browser Modus) bzw. Performances (Performance Mode) blättern und rollen. Mit den Tasten der oberen Reihe kannst Du sofort Effekt-Module ein- und ausschalten. Und auch die Pedal haben sofort eine Steuerungs-Funktion. Umkonfigurieren kann man, welche Module die oberen Taster schalten sollen, welche Pedal-Funktion die beiden Pedale steuern sollen und deren Response-Kurven kann man verstellen. Das ware es, glaube ich, schon. Und dafür benötigt man keinerlei MIDI-Kenntnisse. Nach dem Einbau des Chips ist das wirklich Plug&Play.

Falls sich der PROFILER nicht mehr im Auslieferungs-Zustand befindet, mal die den empfangende MIDI-Kanal prüfen. Das ist MIDI Global Channel im System-Menü. Sollte auf "OMNI" stehen.

Just to let you know: If you use a Mission EP1 pedal with a toe switch, make sure the polarity of that switch is set to "Inverse" in the PROFILER menu. I saw a misleading hint in one of the Mission Engineering video tutorials, that polarity should be left at "normal". That is wrong! The Mission has a switch, which has the electrical contact open in idle state. And that behavior is "inverse" in our setting.

The effect of wrong polarity is not only, that the switching function is processed, when you release the button instead of when you hit the button. It could also cause a first switching when the PROFILER/Remote starts, without you hitting the button.

A few thoughts from my side:

The Mission EP 1 is an expression pedal and not what I call an analog volume pedal. Such pedals have a pot optimized to control digital devices like the PROFILER.

Yes, the functional assignments of most PEDAL sockets are at their default, except PEDAL 4, which is set to Morph Pedal by default. Please check, if all 6 sockets show "not plugged" in the menu, while nothing is plugged in. As soon as the PROFILER recognizes that nothing is plugged in, settings like Volume Pedal Range should not be relevant. I suggest you set the sockets you never use (1, 2, 5, 6) to "off".

Monitor Cab. Off is eventually on.

...or you plug the cable into the pedal, while it is already connected to the PROFILER which is already up and running. While you do this you might shortcut the electrical contacts and the fluctuating electrical resistance - which this is all about - could be misinterpreted by the PROFILER. If you want to avoid this,

either make your cable connections before you start the PROFILER

or first plug the cable into pedal and then into the running PROFILER

or perform one pedal sweep before start your playing.

If you left "WahPedal to Volume" activated, your Wah Pedal is controlling pedal volume as soon as no wah effect is present or active. And when you activate a wah effect or move to another Rig with an active wah effect, the pedal volume will be maintained (except if it's below 25%) and your expression pedal while being dedicated to the wah effect cannot access pedal volume anymore. If you are not aware of those intended mechanics it might cause surprises.

If you want your expression pedal to exclusively control wah effects, configure it as Wah Pedal and deactivate all pedal links at the top of that page.

Have you tested a different original Ethernet cable? PoE solves power supply issues, but no data transfer issues.

And have you tried to control Whammy with an expression pedal configured as Pitch Pedal and Pedal Volume with an expression pedal configured as Volume Pedal? Or are you exclusively using an expression pedal configured as Wah Pedal with "WahPedal to Volume" and "WahPedal to Pitch" activated?

Kemper should have local service partners in each country.
In Germany most Importeurs for Guitars or Drums have local Luthiers or technicians under contract.

This suggestion doesn't fit to the issue reported. Even with a local service units could get lost in transit. And I still hope they will find it!

There are some testimonials above, that repair turn-around time itself is normally not an issue. Distributed value chains are very common these days. And a central repair has more critical mass and is therefor more effective in terms of parts and technician experience.

This applies to Europe by the way. We have local distributors with repair facilities in other countries.

If the light of the Cabinet Module is lit or not has already its meaning, which is global and affecting all outputs. If this would reflect a global disengagement of the cabinet AND a MONITOR OUTPUT specific one, this could be more confusing.

The master settings for Tempo reside in Rig Settings!

Do you know what these files are (Rigs, cabinet presets, effect presets, output presets, Performances) and are you searching in the right place?

Normally the file names reflect the internal name (Rig Name, Cabinet Preset Name), but if somebody has manipulated the file names on a PC, these items might appear under another name in the PROFILER.

This has nothing to do with the software revision. If Tempo is disabled in a Rig, Tremolo Rate is set in Hz. As soon as Tempo gets enabled in the Rig e. g. by hitting the TAP button, you set Tremolo Rate in Note Values assuming Tremolo should follow the musical context. So, this could vary by Rig.
