Well I learned my lesson. Never again will I try Elixir strings on my Ibanez floating trem.
They just slipped out the whole time
Interesting.
I don't have this problem with my Edge Pro equipped Jem 555 or my PRS Torero. Were there any particular strings that were giving you trouble?
For tracking/recording; the Elixir optiweb strings do seem to offer a bit more "bite". In comparison, the Nanoweb sounds rounder and feel smoother to play. I'm in the transition stage right now, moving over to optiweb from nanoweb strings in the last year.
Very interesting. I'm using ATH M40x headphones here (which are supposed to be flatter response than the M50x).
That cab clone isn't cheap lol £279-300+ here in UK. What this test has shown me is that using a real amp and virtual cab/ir loader gives a different and potentially viable sound, but, of-course, the Kemper alone can be just as usable. However, I've never owned a real tube amp due to living with people all my life, so, I've always used digital amps/fx since '97. The first proper amp I bought, the Marshall JMD102 also uses digital pre-amps with tube power section, which I used for gigging with.
My question then is, does the cab clone do anything for the Kemper?
2 is the real amp I think.
I've used Elixir strings for about 14yrs, and on and off before that time. I've got acid fingers (which was a lot worse when I was in my late teens and throughout my 20's). They've allowed me to play guitar with much less frustration, and they last me for many many months (especially if my guitar doesn't have to travel). An acoustic set will last me for more than a year. Well worth it for me. I feel like Elixir strings saved my guitar playing "career".
Chorus, Bloom, String, Breath, Tender and Formant 2+3 are my favourites here. Sounds really cool.
I didn't think this effect would ever come as it's not an effect they've ever had, even with their previous pre-kemper synth gear. Really cool to finally see it, good job!
Well, I'm looking forward to the day we can finally directly record with the Kemper as our USB interface... 
@Karl what AISO buffer size are you running on the Scarlett?
16 samples, as low as it will go.
Here are my settings in Reaper;

Here is Kemper Profile with FX on;

Here is Kemper Profile with FX off;
I have both sets of inputs on my Focurite 18i20; Line L+R from main and spdif git/Master Left. Asio at 16 samples 44.1Khz 24bit.
Indeed, I can confirm this behaviour with the latest firmware 5.4.1
Main line inputs arrive first, then, spdif.
spdif "git" which is on the left spdif channel arrives about 1/2 faster than the difference between line and spdif "Master Left".
This is with a profile with 3 effects in the first 4 blocks before amp.
However, if I then turn the 3 effects off, then, the behaviour is the same except the spdif "git" arrives about 7 times later than spdif "Master Left vs Main outputs.
Weird behaviour. I tested this last year and in 2016 and I'm sure spdif was faster than using analogue cables.
I find with my own profiles that if I use the exact guitar the profile was made with, then, that profile seems to have a bit extra mojo, even if the profile isn't very good sounding. YMMV.
It's on the Ownhammer website now I think. Was added today.
The price then for M4 and the ir pack is very compelling. $8.99+$14.99. That's not bad if someone was specifically after this sound.
Are you sure the name of the ir is correct? I cannot find this ir at all. I tried to find it so I could work out the cost because I'm sure the Thermionik M4+ir combo is the most cost effective solution here. The M4 is $8.99 on it's own.
Use 7zip to unpack this file.
Try placing it at the front or 1st effect.
spdif is still 44.1khz for anyone wondering.
For recording I some times use just the Transpose feature, turn every other effect off (including amp and cab etc) and then use a VST guitar amp in a daw. Go from kemper > spdif into audio interface will also reduce latency a little compared to using cables. The Kemper's Transpose is better than the Digitech Drop (most noticable with chords) and Boss GP10. I'm using -5 and some +5 (imaginary/near impossible 8-string).
I think the Kemper's Transpose effect is one of the best I've used. I would love to see a premium version of this effect put into a pedal with more processing power to reduce the latency as low as possible, especially at -5 and +5 settings.
Lower latency for Transpose is huge for me. I've tried it a few times today, it plays nicely!
Cost me about £200 to replace my LCD screen (including on my side £100 p&p + insurance). Turn around was fast.
