  • Midi Morningstar Mcp6 pro With kemper player latency

    Quote from ipran

    maybe I’m doing 2 different function per button

    Single pressed for jumping certain preset and double button to goes effect menu . Maybe this is the suspect . I’ll try different approach and I’ll reports later when I have time

    This video confirms my suspicion, that the Morningstar only sends MIDI comands when one of its single buttons get hit in what they call Looper Mode. Otherwise the Morningstar waits until the button gets released.

  • Profiler Player - Backup on USB Stick

    If your statement would be true, all Player users out there, which don't own another PROFILER model, could not perform any USB transaction.


    I - again - formatted a USB stick with FAT32 on my PC.

    Afterwrads the stick was empty.

    I plugged the stick into the Player which was up and running.

    After a few seconds I pulled the stick and plugged it back into my PC. Here are the three folders Backups, OS Update and Shared. Yes, the Player does the job obviously!

    I then plugged it again into the Player, pulled the power cable, pressed BANK button and plugged power cable back in.

    The LEDs reflect the progress of the backup creation.

    Afterwards I find the backup in the folder Backups on my USB stick.


    Everbody can reproduce this easily.

  • Profiler Player - Backup on USB Stick

    New sticks need to be prepared by the PROFILER. The PROFILER is creating three folders Backups, OS Update, and Shared. This only works while the PROFILER is up and running. This applies to any model including Stage and Player. So, if you plugged the new stick into the Player while it was off, and then started the backup process, this won't succeed. The stick needs to be plugged into the up and running Player once before, to get orderly prepared.

    Has someone tried to narrow in and confirm my assumption?


    My suspicion is, the Morningstar, does wait, when you hit one of its buttons with single functions. It sends the MIDI message, as soon as you release the button, which the Player then processes immediately and without latency. It should be easy to verify this.


    For a user who isn't aware, this might appear as a techncial issue. However it is a consequence of buttons, who have single functions and at the same time combo functions together with other buttons. This is a downside of combo functions that users need to live with. Isn't that explained in the Morningstar documentation?

  • Midi Morningstar Mcp6 pro With kemper player latency

    Looking at this Morningstar MC 6 Pro I see, that it offers both single button and combo button functions. I guess, this has a consequence: single button functions don't work, when you hit the single button, but when you release the single button. Could it be that you are not aware and interpret this as "latency"? When you hit the first button the unit cannot know, if your intend is triggering a single function or if you will hit a second button soon, since your real intend is to trigger a combo function.


    That is a natural downside of combo button functions. We will have the same, when we will introduce combo button functions at the Player. Combo switch functions can be executed as soon as you hit the second button. But single button functions wait until you release the single button. That is something you need to get used to and adapt your workflow to. We explain this downside in our manual in detail.


    Perhaps that is the reason, why ipran is observing fast scrolling and latent selecting.


    Perhaps the Morningstar is not waiting until you release a single button, but works with a timeout. And that is, what you experience as latency.

  • Stereo loop

    I guess, you need to be more specific:


    In which module have you placed Loop Stereo? Is it module X or MOD?

    "delay is off" is that related to the external effect looped in, or an onboard effect and in which module is it located? Module DLY?

    If external, do you switch the external delay off or the effect module at the PROFILER?

    "other pedals" are these other effects in the PROFILER and in which module?

    Or are these external effects looped in potentially in combination with the external delay?


    Just a guess, if this happens in modules DLY and REV the parameter DLY+REV Routing might have an influences, since it determines the signal routing. You find it in Rig Settings.

  • MIDI assignment editing in Rig Manager

    I guess, different subjects are mixed up here:


    1. My first comment was in response to @bluesman666 who supported your request in explicit context of "building performances" and "using a midi controller". Can you explain why editing program changes in Rig Manager is meaningful in that context? On the receiving end it's not needed and on the sending end .... wouldn't the midi controller be the logical device to send MIDI comands to the various receiving devices instead of building a kind of logical MIDI daisy chain? I try to understand this business case.


    2. drbill is commenting regarding the PROFILER as device that sends MIDI. I do understand that business case.


    3. You ( ajbsmirnoff) use the PROFILER as receiving device, but in Browser Mode. I do understand why assigning PC numbers in Browser Mode is a bit cumbersome. But that is a bit of legacy and evolved before Performance Mode has been introduced. Enabling this in Rig Manager rationalizes the process only partly. Performance Mode doesn't need assignments on the receiving end, since its addresses are fixed. Why can't you use Rig Manager to put Rig A into for example "box 34" (Performance 7 Slot 4) and then set PC#34 in your Helix accordingly. And Performance Mode isn't limited to loading 128 Rigs max since it adds MIDI bank select. And in Performance Mode you have Slots, which allows to maintain and store MIDI send data independent from Rigs. I try to understand, why we should enhance Browser Mode towards capabilities, that Performance Mode already offers.

  • MIDI assignment editing in Rig Manager

    Generally, I don't think, that storing MIDI addresses in Rigs is a good approach.


    1. It collides with Performance Mode, which is designed for live performances and offers a fixed MIDI address structure. Instead of assigning MIDI addresses you put Rigs into Slots with fixed MIDI addresses. And that is what Rig Manager is here for.


    2. There are only 128 program change numbers, which are quickly exhausted in Browser Mode (up to 1000 Rigs) and Performance Mode (625 Rigs). So you have duplicate assignments all over the place. Think about the more than 20000 Rigs in Rig Exchange. What is the value add of on average 156 Rigs per unique program change number?


    From my perspective Rigs should be reserved as universal sound data and not include organizational user preferences which could interfere with other users' set ups and preferences.

    Quote from thebluesman666

    Please had MIDI parameters/options to be programmed via the Rig Manager app. (Assign Midi PC# and CC#, global midi channel. )
    I would be a useful addition to the editor in order to build performance for the user using a midi controller with the Kemper Profiler.
    Cheers,

    If you use a MIDI controller with a PROFILER as receiving device and you are building Performances, there are no configurable program changes nor control changes!?

    I'm wondering what you need Rig Manager for, practically. Each Performance and Slot has its fixed MIDI address (bank select MSB plus program change) and each effect module and parameter has its fixed control change or NRPN number.


    Examples:

    Performance 36 Slot 4 is MIDI Bank Select MSB 2 and program change 51 - fixed.

    Effect Module B is Control Change #18 - fixed.


    The programming takes place at the MIDI controller side, which might offer its own app for this purpose.


    The only item you need to set at the PROFILER side is the receiving MIDI channel and that is one global setting. Selecting this channel once at the PROFILER hardware is a matter of a few seconds.

  • Midi CC command to turn on/off FX1 & FX2

    The Effect Buttons I-IIII cannot only switch modules on/off, but also trigger Action&Freeze functions like Infinity or Rotary Speaker Speed. How to integrate these into Rig Manager in a smooth manner is not obvious, but our engineering will find a solution....

  • Space-Effekt als Pedal

    Da bietet sich natürlich ein PROFILER Player an. Man schaltet alle Module aus und benutzt nur den Space in der Output Sektion, den man zusätzlich zum Headphone Out auch für den Main Out aktivieren kann. 8o

  • Kemper Player can not enable post effects

    Locking is a global setting. It doesn't happen on a Rig level and isn't stored by Rig. Therefor it cannot be transferred to the Player via Rig transfer, And the Player has no Locking feature.


    My suspicion is, that the effects section has been switched off in those Rigs. If such a Rig gets imported into a PROFILER Stage, the section gets automatically activated. But it seems, the Player doesn't do that. Our engineering is looking into this. In the meantime you need to make sure that the Stomps, Stack and Effects Section of those Rigs are not switched off, which should normally not be the case.


    The only workaround coming to my mind: Switch on effects section in Player via NRPN comands:

    CC #99 value 04

    CC #98 value 66

    CC #06 value 00

    CC #38 value 01

    66 is for the effect section. Stomps section is 64 and stack is 65.

  • No volume wse

    That is the nature of cables: wearing out. Always have a set of spare cables. And if you experience any signal issue, test with spares - before anything else.


    There is no wireless power amp to speaker connection. Generally, a wireless guitar system might be convenient in some sense but won't make your setup more reliable, but introduces more components of potential failures. If there is a signal issue with wireless equipment being involved, first check: exchange wireless against cable.

  • USB - Audio einstellung funktioniert nicht.

    Das Signal der DAW wird am Kemper Kone - bei richtiger Einstellung - immer full-range und linear wiedergegeben. Es geht nicht furch Amp, Cab und auch nicht durch Speaker Imprints usw..


    Ich würde mal checken, ob nicht Reamping in den USB Einstellungen aktiviert ist.
