Yes, the screenshot is from the newest beta.

Glad it's working for you now. I think the Copy may only be in the newest version of Rig Manager. I see you don't have the new morph controlin your screen shot so you must be using an earlier version. You should see it at some point when you update.

No problem with drag drop here. I have a folder named amps beneath All Presets\Local Library shown here. I can load any rig then drag the amp to this folder to add new presets. Exactly the same for Cabinets and any effects. Then to use one of the amp presets, you load any rig, then double click the amp preset name to load it (or drag it from the window to the Amp button in the editor). This isn't specific to any particular version of Rig Manager. It has worked this way for a long time.

These would not be in the drop down set of amp presets if you right click the Amp button in the editor. That set would be the Amp presets currently under My Profiler, not LocalLibrary.

And yes, copy /paste works just as well as drag drop. I load any rig, right click the AMP button in the editor and click Copy. Then I can right click and Paste it into any folder under All Presets Local Library. I don't know if this worked in older versions of Rig Manager but it works fine in 3.3.38.

Hello,

Maybe you're trying to save them in the wrong location?

Find the All Presets section in Rig Manager, then the Local Library that is beneath All Presets. (This is not Local Library that is beneath MyProfiler).

There you can save any presets you want, including Amp and Cab presets. Or you can make folders and sub-folders to organize them however you want. Once saved, you can load them into any rig you want.

Maybe the noise gate?

Quote from dango123

The thing is, someone (like me) using the Kemper primarily as a guitar amp (e.g., powered toaster) doesn't know what the FOH sounds like because we are not listening thru a PA or console - all we hear are the sounds going to the guitar cab/speaker via the powered monitor out.

This is why you might want to pick your profiles using some kind of FRFR speaker, and at a show like volume. That's what would give you (as close as possible) the sound you are sending to FOH. Beyond that, it's out of your hands anyway. You at least know what you're sending to the board.

Then you can handle your monitoring however it works for you. Some may want the same as FOH, some might prefer guitar cabs, some in-ear. Whatever inspires you to play best.

Even if Kemper were to include cab files for each imprint speaker it wouldn't work. As Ruefus said, maybe you'd like whatever mic and placement options they used, but surely just as many others would say the cabs weren't even close to what they'd expect they should sound like. If they provided multiple cabs for each imprint, you'd still have the trial and error to pick one, and still you may not find any you'd think were a good match.

So I'd be a bit surprised if Kemper added cabinets specific to imprints, but then who knows what they might have planned?

For me, I'd pick rigs that I think sound good for FOH, then worry about tweaking a monitor mix for myself from that point.

To find a Kemper cab you can search in Rig Manager for EVM12L. There are quite a few rigs that come up as using this speaker. You can save the cabinet from any of those to try in your rigs while still using the EVM12L imprint for your monitor. Or you could look around for and IR based on that speaker that you could then import as a cabinet.

Beyond that, it's pretty much trial and error to find one that you like the sound of through FOH.

Do you have the tracks panned in your DAW? If not, you'd be monitoring the two tracks panned center (mono).

On page 1 of the Output settings there's a checkbox at the top labeled Monitor Stereo. You didn't mention that in your descriptions of what you have set. If can still be checked if the Monitor is set to off. When checked, it says beneath that checkbox "Direct Output used for Monitor Stereo".

Or you see it in Rig Manager as a button labeled Stereo to the right of Monitor Out.

If it's on or checked, try turning that off.

Maybe something locked? Keep in mind that Performance mode and Browser mode each have their own locks.

While in Performance mode you can press and hold the lock button. The LED for anything locked will show.

Don't know if this would be to your taste, but maybe something you can try. Here's a Cab I like and a Rig of a H&K Tubeman ch3.

In Rig Exchange find the rig Laney LH50 Pedal Jensen by Markus Hagen and load it. Cab should be a Grossman SG-Box with a Jensen Neo 1X12.

Save the cabinet as a preset or Lock it in Rig Manager.

Still in Rig Exchange, search for #Tubeman Ch3 by Heinen.

There should at least be a noticeable difference between the default cab of #Tubeman and using the Markus Hagen cab. If these aren't anything like what you're looking for, try the same with other Rigs/cabinets.

Hope that helps.

Can you profile the H&K tubeman II preamp that you do like? If that profile still worked for you, then you probably just aren't finding rigs that respond as you like.

For me, it's mostly in finding cabs that I like from other rigs. As I find ones that I particularly like, I find that I can then use them in just about any rig, even those that I normally didn't like at all. Real easy to try out. Find something close to what you want. Lock the speaker and go through other rigs to see if they seem improved.

Three things I'd hope for -

Pickup simulation like the Keyztone Exchanger, SIMM X1 or even as on some Mooer pedals. Just like the Kemper can be multiple amps, this would allow it to simulate multiple guitars.

A way to assign more than one thing to buttons. It would be nice to just have assignable buttons that could each turn on/off specific groups of effects. Pretty much like multiple morphs, but that could be assigned to buttons. Rather than click one to turn on a boost, another to turn off delay, another to turn on a chorus, etc. when I just wanted that new combination. And yes, I know I could have whole rigs set up for each, but then you get into all the more rigs and performances to maintain. The way I think of it would be a named preset that has all the options set that I'd want. Then just one click to toggle everything from that preset on or off as it was defined. I guess that would be scenes in other devices.

Finally, if I can have KRIG and KPRESET files, etc. on a computer, why not the ability to just double click that file to load it in Rig Manager Editor and/or the Kemper? That way the filing system is already handled. Folders, save, save as, copy, paste, search, etc. are handled as the computer handles them and all that functionality doesn't need to be duplicated with RM functions. Rig Manager could really be more editor than librarian.

This isn't something I normally use, so I just checked it based on what Max Power Ottzen described. I don't know when it last might have worked. But definitely not working for me with 8.7.10.38833.

RosboneMako - is it working for you? And on what OS?

Good catch.

I sent in a bug report and mentioned this post, so hopefully it will be a quick fix.

Not working here either.

OS 8.7.10.38833 Toaster

Could still be a problem with a pedal even if you don't use it. Some kind of electrical issue, etc.

You might try just playing the Kemper with nothing connected - no remote, no Rig Manager or computer, headphones for output. If that works add one more thing at a time until it starts to fail again. Might save you sending the whole thing back only to find out it's a pedal or computer issue.

Expand morph to add new capability. For example

1. Allow morph to turn on/off stomps and effects. Many have a Mix so you can always morph to 0, but then the effect always shows as on. There is no LED to show whether morph is on or off.

2. Allow the morph to change a currently selected effect preset to another one. This would allow morphing from a Wa preset to a Chorus preset, etc. May not be possible in a slow morph but seems like it could work like an on/off switch. This would also be in some ways like having more than the eight slots. If the morph allowed changing presets you'd still only have 8 slots at a time, but with access to many more without changing rigs.

3. Long requested multiple morphs that could be set up and saved. Instead of just one morph with all settings to change for a given rig, multiple morphs would be like Scenes where you could set up various groups of effects with their specific settings. Then turn a morph on or off to use each group you've defined. For use, maybe the morphs could be new "morph presets" that you could assign to any switch like other presets. So instead of a preset that just sets some parameters for a few effects, you could think of it like a rig with Morph Preset1 selecting whatever predefined set of effects and their settings that you want in the 8 slots. Morph Preset2 would allow you another set and so on.

Think how that could expand a Performance. Still 5 rigs in a performance, but each with pretty much any effect combination.

Of course we can already do this by creating multiple performance with rigs set up with the effects and settings, but that becomes a maintenance nightmare if something needs to change. In this morph idea, you just create the "morph presets" like any multi-effect setup then use it with any rig you want with nothing to save or change other than the morph settings.

You probably should supply some better info. What model profiler, what OS version (find it under the System button), What is your Output set to (under the Output button pages), what output jacks are you connecting and what are you connecting the output to. You never mentioned if headphones work.

There are Init Globals and Factory Reset options under the System button (maybe not Factory Reset if you're not up to date) that might help, but you may want to back things up or contact support if you're not comfortable with how they work.
