Generally, Rigs include the signal chain from Input to module REV. The Output Section is not included, but is global by definition.

You find the Output Source settings in the Output Section. These are global and by output. Here you can determine, if an output just feeds an unprocessed signal or a processed dry signal or just the wet portion ("DLY/REV Wet"). This explains, why the SEND 1 feeds another signal than the other outputs. But again these settings don't change, when you load another Rig or just play guitar.

You can set up wet sounds per Rig using the Mix control in delay and reverb effects. You can dial beyond 100% and from there lower the dry signal portion until it is completely wet. So these are by Rig, but don't change by themselves.

If you would just be using headphones, I would say the headphones or cable are broken. Or the socket of the STAGE is defective. If you loose one contact out of three of the stereo headphones cable, it has exactly that effect, that you just hear the difference between the left and right signal. And that is the wet portion. The same an happen with XLR outputs and cables, if the hot wires are twisted on one side. If you then mix these signals in a mixing desk, the dry signal portion is cancelled out.

I cannot imagine any scenario software and ahrdware included, where this happens by itself and affects all outputs. So please verify your assumptions.

The Player Main Manual includes a chapter dedictaed to "Data Compatibility".

One Correction: Only Natural Reverb is converted to Easy Reverb since the Easy Reverb is a simple version of the Natural Reverb.

Yes, with the current OS 10.9.7.

Player manual chapter "Using the Tuner":

Use “Reference Pitch” to adjust the base pitch of the tuner between 424 Hz and 456 Hz, in case you need to tune your guitar to something other than 440 Hz.

After restoring the backup you might need to check and possibly adjust the following settings:

1. functional assignments of the PEDAL sockets

2. Output Source of the MONITOR OUT, since this output could be mono at Head/Rack models and is stereo at the Stage

Not that I'm aware of. But you can trigger Effect Buttons I-IIII via simple MIDI CC# 75-78.

PROFILER Operating System 10.9.7.52289 Public Beta for Player remembers the active Access Point Network after a restart.

This PROFILER OS requires at least Rig Manager 3.5.27 for Windows(R)/macOS(R), Rig Manager 1.7.2 for iOS(R), and Rig Manager 1.7.0 for Android(R)/Fire OS(R).

Rig Manager 3.5.27 requires at least Windows(R) 10 or macOS(R) 10.14.

Known Issues

Combo foot switch functions not yet implemented

Rig Manager displays scale of Predelay in Echo Reverb as 0-320 ms instead of the real 0-2000 ms

Clean Compensation planned to be added in OS 11

In principle, you don't assign module A to foot switch 1 directly and globally.

Instead you assign FX 1 or Effect Button I to foot switch 1 globally. And then you decide by Rig which effect module you intend to assign to FX 1. Could be module A in one Rig and modul DLY in another. If you assign Effect Button I globally, you can even assign and toggle up to four modules simultaneously - e.g. module A on and module B off - or you trigger Action&Freeze comands like Rotary Speaker Speed. But again, these assignments to Effect Button I can vary by Rig.

Ein paar Tipps kann ich geben.

Der Owner Name wird ja nur dann in die Author-Tags eingetragen, wenn Du selbst ein Profil erzeugst. Nur dadurch, dass Du den Bass-Regler etwas anhebst und das Rig neu speicherst, werden weder das Rig, noch das Amp-Profil noch das Cabinet-Profil Deine. Es bleiben die ursprünglichen Autoren bestehen.

Wenn Du tatsächlich selbst Profiler erzeugt hast, musst Du die Author-Tags korrigieren - und zwar an der Hardware und einzeln. Wir wollen bewusst keine Methode zur Verfügung stellen, dass sich jemand im Handumdrehen haufenweise Rigs von anderen Autoren aneignen kann.

Favoriten und Ratings, die Du den Rigs in Deinem PROFILER und Deiner Local Library gibst, hängen an Deinem Owner Namen. Deine Favoriten werden also nicht Favoriten anderer User, wenn Du sie sharst. Wenn Du den Owner Namen änderst, sind die Favoriten keine Favoriten mehr und das Rating ist weg. Das mußt Du also für alle Rigs nachfahren, die Deine Favoriten sind bzw. Dein Rating besitzen, welche Du mit einem Owner Namen erzeugt hast, der Dir nicht mehr gefällt.

Wenn Du gesharte Rigs auf der Rigs Exchange oder in unseren Rig Packs geratet hast, bleibt das im aggregierten Rating erhalten, auch wenn Du Deinen Namen änderst.

The Player offers the Tranpose in its Rig Settings.

This can be controlled via Sysex: controller MSB 4, controller LSB 4, value range 28-100.

The format of the Sysex comands is explained in the dedicated KEMPER PROFILER MIDI Parameter Documentation .

The plan is to introduce an OS 11, that supports all platforms.

The current OS 10.9.6 is focussed on the Player and has not been tested on other models.

Generally, sending MIDI commands to control functions the Player doesn't have is meaningless.

You can only control functions described int he Player's Main Manual. So Morphing and Pedal Pitch effects are for example out of reach.

The MIDI control changes available are documented in the MIDI chapter of the Player's Main Manual.

NRPN and Sysex open more possibilities and are documented in the dedictaed document MIDI Parameter Documentation. But again, you cannot leave the boundries of the Player's feature set.

¨   Factory reset

This will overwrite all user data and settings and recover the as-delivered-state: Please hold the four buttons BANK, TAP, Bluetooth®/Wi-Fi, plus KONE while powering on.

Quote from Stefan D

I cannot activate Hotspot Mode on the Player.

Every time when I power on the Player, the WLAN buttons blinking fast in green, idenpendently if WLAN was ON or OFF,

I never used Home Network mode before only Access Point mode.

I am not able to switch to Access Point Mode directly on the player by holding the WLAN button some time

The Player WLAN is not displayed on my iPhone.

I need to use the Rig Manager on MacOs with USB connection to activate the Access Point Mode and connect my iPhone.

But when restarting the Player, same story again. Back to latest release version, all works fine again.

Please consult the Player Main Manual, which has been updated together with OS 10.9.6. The Wi-Fi button and handling is explained on the first pages.

User created presets residing in the PROFILER can be found in RIg Manager at All Presets/MyProfiler. You can pick and delete presets in that list like you do with Rigs at All Rigs/MyProfiler. The list inlcudes all user presets for effects, Input, Cabinet, Amplifier, Stack, and Output.

In the hardware you open a module e.g. C and dial the browse knob. Presets are in the right column. You cannot delete the headlines for each effect type. And you cannot delete the fatory presets, that start with the dot in that list. But you can select and delete your own presets.

Green indicates Home Network Mode. The unit reconnects to a known Wi-Fi. I guess, that is quite normal.

Fantastic, Burkhard .
just to confirm, was this info previous accessible but hidden?

PS- is rig manager built upon this kind of NRPN or some exclusive protocol?

The MIDI Parameter Documentation available at the KEMPER download page includes already a chapter "Request Strings Parameter" and an example showing how to request Rig Name. The guy in the video is using that for example. What is missing in the current version of the MIDI document is a list of the addresses of all Rig tags. That's what I shared above. That list will be added to the next revision of the document.

The document already includes all you need to manipulate or request values of most parameters via sysex like the on/off state of effect module A or the level of Mix in effect module DLY.

Bitte das neue OS 10.9.6 für den Player einspielen. Da kann man per Rig Manager "Reference Pitch" verstellen.

For those with the required prerequisites, these are the addresses of the Rig tags in case you intend to read these out. This list will be included in the next revised MIDI document:

Yes, there is a setting in Rig Settings: "Rig Spillover Off".

In addition make sure, that the new Rig isn't overloaded with complex effects. Spillover has a lower priroty and might be skipped, if the new sound requires to much processing power. This includes effects that are switched off. A clean up of the new Rig might help.
