are you comparing the result while still in profiling mode by switching between the Kemper and the Reference amp in the Profiling menu while your guitar is still connected to the input of your Profiler?

I went through my kemper and xlr out direct into my interface i just bypassed/turned off the amp cab stack and eq and all fx i will re-record another DI going direct into my interface tonight after work i didnt think there would be a difference.
try using a standard TS cable instead of the XLR. The noise was probably caused by the mic preamp of your interface
-
using a micpreamp with a line level signal like the Profiler provides is generally a bad idea.
-
If the XLR inputs on your interface activate the mic preamp you should either use regular TS cables to connect a line level device like the Profiler or XLR to TRS if you have long cable runs and want a balanced connection. Sending a line level signal to a device that is set to mic sensitivity is generally a bad choice.

Both. Audio is delayed, visual cues even more (both screen and LED). All this is in performance mode. I have no use for browser mode. All with the Kemper Remote. I'm not using other midi signals with the Kemper at this point
please contact the support team.

Are you using the XLR inputs on your interface or the TS ones?
How does it sound when you connect a pair if good headphones directly to the Profilers headphone output?
Have you tried to connect your monitors directly to the Profiler to see what that sounds like?
Have you tried the pure cab parameter?
-
please contact support. We need to take a closer look at your data.

Please try to start the Profiler into browse mode while holding down the RIG button until you see either "Initialising current rig" or "checking content..." in the display. This will initiate a rebuilt of the internal database. Your rigs and performances will not be altered by this.
-
so the issue is that it takes longer than usual for you to browse through the rigs that you want to assign to a slot?
-
how are you switching between rigs in Perform mode?

if the looper signal is mono only a single cable to the return input is needed. You need to activate the mono option in the Aux in menu to hear the signal on both sides of the stereo field. Guitar needs to be connected to the front input so you can play over the loop using any rig you want to use.
-
There is no need to use an external looper pedal in the FX loop. Simply assign Master Mono as the output source for the direct output/send and use the Aux in function to return the signal from the looper back into the Profilers signal flow. This will ensure that the full signal of the Profiler (including all 8 effects) gets looped and you do not need to have an active FX loop in each rig you want to use the looper with.
This approach will also prevent the issue that the OP seems to be suffering from where the looped signal gets treated by any effects that might be positioned after the actual FX loop position in the signal chain.

check if you have the morph to wah pedal link activated. Deactivate it to prevent the morph from triggering the wah.

According to the Focusrite manual the interface will automatically switch to mic sensitivity as soon as an XLR plug is detected at the input.
This will create a level mismatch between a device like the Profiler that sends a line level signal from its XLR output and the interface.
A XLR to TRS cable would be the optimum analog connection in such a case.
-
since the RME is a highend DA converter I would connect it to the digital output of an audio interface that offers digital i/o and then connect the Profiler to the audio interface. This setup will allow you to hear the computer audio over USB and the Profiler through the ADI-2 converters and you will be able to record the Profiler signal too. Since your current interface does not offer any digital i/o you would need to upgrade that one.

Thanks. I am running a line in at -14 out on the Kemper without the button in to have the levels just right. If I push the button in I have to have the Kemper out much higher, not lower.
what I meant is you need to set the output level to -2dB to achieve an attenuation of 14 dB when you add the -12 dB option.
-
I would try the -12dB option first. If you still need to lower the output level to avoid clipping in your external device attenuate the signal further by lowering the output level value by another 2dB.
-
the difference between the two is that the -12 dB option is located after the DA conversion in the analog domain while the level parameter for the output volume is in the digital domain.
-
the explanation is in the manual
- You probably use Direct PROFILEs in your live set, such as acoustic guitar sounds or bass Rigs. Direct PROFILEs are indicated by having the cabinet module set to “Empty” and feature a full-range sound. Running a full-range
sound through a traditional guitar speaker will sound unpleasant. Therefore, in Speaker Imprint mode (Monitor Cab Off active), when switching to a Direct PROFILE, KEMPER Kone will automatically switch to full-range mode for that
Rig. No preparation required!
- If you are using the KEMPER Acoustic Simulator effect, you are advised to switch off the amplifier and cabinet
modules. This again makes the KEMPER Kone automatically switch to full-range mode for that Rig.

Does the -12 dB option lower the signal from whatever you have your master volume set at or is it just a flat -12db that does not fluctuate as you roll the master volume up and down?
the -12dB option attenuates the signal for the main outputs after the DA conversion which means also past any digitally adjustable volume stages like the output volume.
