Display MoreSo...had our first gig on Sat where we ran a silent stage!
We are only a Pub band and used the in house PA, but we ran a splitter between the in house PA and instruments so we could use our virtual desk to control our own IEM mixes. It was the first time the drummer used a fully electric kit as well.
It went better than expected, we had some tech issues but ironically nothing to do with the set up ( my remote disconnected as I have a dodgy port in the back of my power rack and it caused an error so had to reboot mid gig...argh...got to get that fixed).
It was the first outing with my Ultimate ears UE7's....sound was excellent, totally recommend them, although the other guitarist used ACS's and he loves those as well.
Most of our gigs are with our own PA so we expect that to be even easier. Its bizzare not needing a cab on stage of any type, but the sound was so clear and we made less mistakes as a band.
Ultimate Ears make really great sounding iems in regards to guitarsound.

13ms would mean close to unusable to me.

As V8guitar says. A guitar cab is a HUGE part of the sound. Different speakers, cab dimensions, wood, glue, open/closed back, even placement will affect the sound.

I’m glad I didn’t update.
saw the update notification and as I had painfully spend some much hours preparing my performances and programme change for the summer tour, this time I said « no not this time boy, play safe »
that kind of bug and behavior is also quite unacceptable for that kind of « pro » unit. Every update don’t really solve the previous problems and bring some more.The kemper can produce great tones but I definitely don’t trust the dev team anymore.
I am not even on the newest KAOS. I’ve had this problem for about 6 months. It is not consistent however. Sometimes it’s fine, then a single change will take what seems forever.
-
I am having problems too. Over a second when switching between performances. And add to that, strange things happen. It’s like some parts of the rig switches faster than other parts, so the sound becomes really strange for a second. Quite unacceptable, might need to go back to browse mode.
-
I also might not always want to change the rig name in the performance, just to be able to give it a unique name when saving to pool.
But alas, i will have to do that. DonPetersen was just writing in another thread about “naming hygeine”, in order to know exactly what you have on your unit. But this limitation of not having a “save as” when storing to pool, does make it harder.
-
You are right. I missed the rig settings part. That’s what i was looking for. Thanks
-
Ok yes thanks for the answer. I should have asked a bit more thorough.
The rigs in the performances are rigs from the pool, and i’ve tweaked them in performance mode. So if i save to pool, then i will have two rigs with the same name. To avoid this i wanted to be able to “save to pool under a new name”.
I guess the workaround would be to rename the slot/rig in rig manager, and then save to pool. But i hardly ever connect to rig manager i must admit.
-
Is this possible? How.
-
I'm not sure I understand how that would work. Could you elaborate slightly?
A lock that only remembers/lock the effect slot on or off state, not the contents of the effect slot.
It’s one of those i’ve requested for years. Even my Boss GX700 was able to do that. I had a midi-box build to circumvent the non existence of this feature in the kemper. -
They could implement a “lock on/off status of slot” feature. That’d get us a long way.
-
I wouldn’t have put it like that, but sometimes i feel exactly like mr. CorkyUK. Too many things are answered with “you are holding it wrong”. Many of those cases is because some of us actually came from systems that were much more costumisable and controlable. Even simple things i’ve had to have mods made for. That costs money in addition to the unit.
-
It goes without saying that I obviously changed guitars in between the tests + changed the cable
You’d be surprised at how many people does not always think about doing that.
-
Sounds like it’s the guitar or the cable to be honest.
-
I think it’s simulteneous. One block with it all.
But i can’t think of any practical reason why it should matter.
-
Amp Compressor is indeed a both overlooked and powerfull parameter. Specially if you want to use your guitar volume knob to roll back on gain.
-
One thing i’ve noticed is that sometimes when going from a distorted rig in one performance, to a clean rig in another, is that it is like the contents of the rigs changes in different tempos. So the sound will get all strange for about 200ms.
I don’t really have a problem switching a bit early, that’s just a matter of getting used to it, but i feel uncomfortable with the sound getting strange in the interim between sending a midi pc from my footcontroller, to the rig is fully switched. It wasn’t always like this, was it?
-
We don't all use this tool the same way. I use "rigs" as songs. Some cover more than one some need two. "Performances" mean nothing to me, just another bank of songs that I am able to switch around if our set(s) change (that's why I NEED a LAYOUT D so the "Rig" can be in large print, not just the performance.) I notice it seems to be taking longer now to switch between performances. Would having less rigs ON the kemper speed anything up. Is leaner, meaner?
Good question. If that was the case, i’d seriously erase all but 10 rigs.
-
Amazing. I like it a lot! Will check later again on my monitors. Where in the country are you usually gigging?
We are from Denmark, but truth to be told we are mostly a studio band. Every time we release a new album we do a couple of gigs and that’s that.
