Impossible, Karl! CK is here in my KPA, he lives there for nearly one and a half year. The CK in your KPA is even a clone.

Btw: The CK in my KPA seems to eat LEDs - and he seems to be very hungry...

Try to check the EQ-settings in the OUTPUT section (by pressing the OUTPUT knob for a few seconds) - maybe there are some unwanted settings done?

Have you also tried to download again the operating system - maybe the file gets damaged by downloading it...

Same here - first the pop up window said: Update failed. I deleted the kaos.bin file from the usb stick at my pc and copied it again, then the update process worked fine.
Hope this helps!

Awesome, how quick the Kemper team reacts

OS 2.1.1 is available for download - awesome, how quick the Kemper team react...

We'll have a new beta ready soon!

Great to hear, thata are good news!

There is definitly a sound change with the new firmware.
I have my toasterhead since one and a half year and played more than 300 shows with it and in the meantime I know exactly how it normally sounds. I have recognized that the sound change depends at the profiles - some profiles has not changed (the crunch and high gain are sounding equal before and after updating ), but other sounds have now not so much gain as normal and it seems that they have not so much presence than before.
For example I have a few profiles of my Hughes & Kettner Tube 50, the clean channel of this amp has always a very light distortion so that the sound is real powerful (thats the reason why I like the clean sounds of this amp). We profiled these sounds in a studio and spend two days to make them perfect - the KPA imitated this sound very well - after updating to the new firmware, the sounds are very, very different now, no balls at all, totally flat now and it does not bite anymore. This changes are with the most of my very light distored clean sounds, I´ve tried to dial in more gain and played a little bit with the clean sense, but the result is not the same as the sound was before.
I can not give any sound examples because I have no time to do A/B recordings at this time but my ears don´t lie - I mainly use these lightly distorted clean sounds and know them very well.
I have to roll back to 2.0 and hope, that the sounds are then like they were before updating.

After playing guitar for more than 35 years as a professional musician, the KPA is still the best tool I ever had (and I had them all, the expensive Rocktrons, Line 6s a.s.o...)
Thank you, Mr. C.K.

Hi,
I use the 1.8 Beta. When the Mono Loop is active, there is a clicking noise that sometimes appears for some milliseconds, sounds like a digital distortion or a gate opens for the spot of a moment. All levels are ok, this can not be an effect of driving to much gain in the loop channel - it appears even when there is no sound played. Tried it with the Stereo Loop function, same behavior. Set the loop an all different locations (A, B, C, D, X, Mod), tried different profiles - the clicking noise is always present, sometimes even louder as the signal. If Delay is active, the clicking noise is delayed.
Anyone else?

My KPA sometimes shows the same phenomenia since Version 1.54 - looks very strange (and a little dangerous) but it seems to have no effect of the functionally.

Hi,
is there anyone out there who can share some profiles of the Hughes & Kettner Switchblade or the Hughes and Kettner Tube 50? These are my favourite amps, but there is nothing to find in the rig exchange section...
Would be cool!

Hi,
is this the "Rolls Midibuddy" under the KPA? I have one too, but I don´t use it with the KPA, because it has no pedals - how do you control your volume and delay levels?
Regards

Cool, thanks a lot - this was VERY helpful!

Really ? How does it work? I didn´t find this feature in the manual....

Thanx

Wouldn´t it be nice, if the KPA has a control knob to adjust the level of the monitor out? I amplify my KPA with active PA monitors which have their controls on the back, which is for live use not so handy. With a "Monitor Out control knob" it would be possible to make a own mix of the stage level which not depends to the outlevel to the FOH with only one movement of the hand. A good place for this control knob would be the "Noisegate button" on the upper left - once you have adjusted the noisegate you don´t need this knob anymore, so it would be free for the monitor out level....

Other things: Please fix the CC#27 (Delay Mix), it´s even important for live use. And a pitch shifter would be cool....

It shouldn´t be a big thing for the developers and software engineers

to adress the CC#27, it´s already done for a lot of other control numbers (e.q. CC#7 - Volume or CC#1 - Wah), maybe it just depends on that they have forgotten to integrate it to the software. Or isn´t that so easy? Perhaps the developing teams do not recognize the importance of this kind of control for live use.

Hi to all,
happy to get the new OS 1.0.9 Public Beta with some new features, but the CC#27 (Delay Mix) still doesn´t work.
It´s impossible to preset the right delay level at home because the sound depends very much on the room you perform (eq. Church or little stage/room), so I just to adjust the Delay Mix with my old Rocktron Prophesy II in live situations via the floorboard. Very sad that the KPA still can´t give me that feature. CC#26 (Delay on/off) works, but for this kind of usage (mix the level by the footcontrol) it´s not helpful.
Any ideas how to handle this problem? I thought about setting a extern delay unit in the loop and control it´s level via midi, but on the other hand I find it dumb to take an external delay because the KPA has one integrated. So I strongly hope that the CC#27 will work in nearest future.
Thanx
