Did you try cable in->KPA in, cable out->KPA out?

@kizzer
How is your MIDI cable linked to KPA?

Cheers for the pointers! Below is a screenshot of the program and my midi setup. The midi/usb cable shows up as USB2.0-MIDI within the Audio Midi Setup. Anything look out of place here?

When I turn dials on the Toaster program the out LED on the cable flashes, so this means that signal is being sent I assume. Is there anything that needs to be setup on the Kemper?

Cheers again guys!

In Toaster MIDI settings dialog: Set 'Output Port' to 'USB2.0-MIDI Port 2' and restart toaster. If it's still not working set 'Input Port' to 'USB2.0-MIDI Port 2' and 'Output Port' to 'USB2.0-MIDI Port 1'

Cheers

Love the look of this!

Has anyone managed to use this with a midi to usb cable on a mac?

Should work. I use ESI MIDIMATE II. No problems.

1. it was built cross-platform. This is great for getting it out to windows and OS X users, but in both cases, the chrome surrounding the actual editing content looks and functions poorly and unlike a true, native app, particularly in regard to key bindings.

What's the problem with multi-platform? Qt is a very mature framework, it exists since 1991. From the technicall point of view it is much better than MFC, the Windows Framework (which imho is just shit). There is a lot of software, which use Qt.
Key bindings? Has nothing to do with multi-platform ability. Do you want a feature -> open a issue on github.

2. It's alpha. That's pre-beta. It's buggy as hell.

Yes, it is alpha, it may be buggy. But there are no issues opened by a dougc84 on github. No feedback, no fix; simple, heh?

Quote from dougc84

3. You have to depend on the developers to update it. That means when a new Kemper OS comes out, any changes to the OS that conflicts with Toaster means the experience could either not be optimal, or just flat out do something wrong. A Kemper-designed solution would have complete parity with the current OS version.

Toaster is open source. So you are welcome to join the development. The more developers are involved, the faster adoptions to a new OS can be made. Simple again.

I guess I'll have to try the Toaster editor out when it works with OS 4.0.2....

@ucnick
Toaster works with 4.0.2; only legacy delay and morphing are not supported.

Quote from Grooguit

This community editor someone mentioned. Followed the link, not sure which link to download and install for a mac. I'm assuming it's the Toaster_1.0.100_ALPHA.pkg link. Although, the previous versions had a "DMG" download, which is usually what you use for a Mac. Anyone know?

Yes, it is the Toaster_1.0.100_ALPHA.pkg link (.pkg files are OS X installer packages).

Quote from Vaughnfats

Virango!!! Your are the man... Major props to you for the work and and a very clean alpha! For my needs Toaster is already there.

Thanks from the bottom of my largeness!

Since you're not accepting anything at this time maybe I could make a donation in your name to an organization that's special to you?

This is a great idea. I'll look for an appropriate purpose.

Quote from spikey

Sorry but hurried today- Do I need to use a midi interface, or will this work via the USB connection on my iMac?

Yes, MIDI cable only. But you can also use a USB to MIDI adapter, something like this.

Quote from groovekanzler

great effort, thank you very much!!!!

did I miss display of REVERB MIX and TIME? (other than hovering over the corresponding knob with mouse?) Could it be made available in a single view in toaster?

Mix and Time can be currently changed with the knobs in the middle.
But I make a small re-work of all the stomp editors, so it will also be available there.

Thanks. When it will be running with 4, be sure I will flood you with bugs and suggestions

Works, tested on mac and windows7 64 bit (Toaster 32 bit); so it seems to be a local problem.

Also tested on a 10 years old notebook with Vista 32 bit -> works.
Did you try to plug your interface into another USB port?

Quote from Ingolf

virango: Will you make it shareware later to get some compensation?
This would be very understandable seeing that an editor like this is high in demand.

Ingolf:
No, Toaster is and will stay open source freeware.
As for compensation: maybe I'll turn it to donationware in the future (one can not have enough gear ), when some grade of maturity is reached.
But for this I'll have to check the legal side (taxes etc.) and if it is worth the effort.

Quote from Zapman

Yep, on 4.02 here and as I indicated Performance mode not working but everything else that I looked at briefly appeared to be working. ( OH yeah, except Delay doesn't work.. Reverb, cabinet, etc. yes).

The Performance mode isn't implemented yet.

Quote from skoczy

MIDI communication seems to be OK. I can send MIDI messages to Profiler, what I can observe on Profilers LCD. Toaster shows green light at the status bar, and both INPUT and OUTPUT ports are detected.I am on Windows 7 laptop, Focusrite Scarlet 6i6 interface. Interface is connected with two standard DIN5 midi cables to Profiler.I can remember that previous version of Toaster worked for me.

And I tested it on OS 4.0.2 so maybe this is the reason....
Anybody else tested it on 4.0.2 and does setting/changing values in Toaster make relevant changes to Kemper?

When I launch Toaster, there is message on Kemper's LCD

And double arrow icon indicating MIDI communication I believe

Hm, the message should be "Toaster connected". Maybe it is indeed a 4.x issue. I'll check.

Quote from skoczy

Actually current release has many bugs for me. I am MIDI connected , but cannot control any parameter (GAIN, EQ, VOL, stomps, effects) - I have raised issues on github.

All the issues you raised on github point to a MIDI communication problem.
How are the specs of your PC?
What cable and PC hardware do you use for MIDI?
Which KPA OS do you use? (Hint: I didn't test it under 4.x)

yeah, it was long overdue.

Hi all,

Toaster 1.0.100 ALPHA released.
Please read the release notes.
Please report bugs, enhancement wishes etc. here.

Regards
Thomas

Still working on the next release. Could you be more specific about the gain knob and the LEDs (pictures ?). The problem with the volume knob is known.

Cheers
