Also, the word THE is added to the title.

Glitch? Hack?

Thanx

Unless I'm playing in a U2 cover band I just find these tap tempo buttons useless.

Could a software update change it to an additional preset button?

I read something about using it as a volume boost, which is slightly better than tap tempo, but an extra preset button option would be ideal.

Also, would a button "hold" function be a doable Kemper Remote option?

Some midi switchers/modelers offer this (Voes/AxeFX/etc)

You hold the button down for half a second or so which changes to a whole different saved preset(rig), unlike morphing which can just change parameters on the one rig.
Morphing is great, but just curious if that could be done via software update?

Ah, Thanx

The website description is kind of misleading as it mentions the rig exchange.

KPA toaster - ethernet to router -download app - everything functions great!

But, all I see is an editor. Can I also access Rig Exchange to audition rigs?

Gotcha, Thanx!

I'm realizing some things I've been doing wrong with the KPA for years.

I've been using a speaker cable, (not guitar cable) from KPA "Monitor Out" to QSC K8.2.

I've also been using the QSC K8.2 set to "Instrument"(Hi-Z), which I now believe is wrong, correct?
I'm using an unpowered KPA toaster.

Instrument (Hi-Z) is only used if plugging a guitar direct, or at least w/out a "Line level" device between them, correct?

Thanx for any help!

I wrote the manual!

Just testin’ youz guys.

good job.

Actually it does scroll through the rigs, but it doesn’t stay activated(highlighted).

So I end up having to click on each individual rig I audition.

Any help?

Thanx

Just curious if anyone has compared both Kemper Kone & Celestion F12-200X.

Or maybe just your opinion of the F12-200X.

I already own the Kemper Kone. I’m running it off a Laney IRT-X powered speaker and haven’t been able to turn it up yet.

So there are a few variables with my final opinion. So far it sounds decent. Then of course we really need the option to save imprints

to individual rigs,etc. But I’m sure thats all in the works.

Quote from DeanJam

I’m limited, but I’ve thought about this a lot but within a slightly different context. Essentially though wouldn’t the imprint sound terrible on the PA? The imprint is designed specifically for the Kone.

please feel free to correct.

Aaah! You’re right DeanJam!

I forgot that only the Kone will work with the speaker imprint function.

But, that may not be the case as many people are now finding out. I’m gunna give it a try with my QSC K8.2 .

I’ll get back with the results.

Yes!! speaker imprint per rig would be extremely beneficial.

From what Iv’e experienced, it’s best to get my sound (tone/eq) setup in my personal wedge monitor first, then try to get the pa speaker mains(crowd speaker) to sound as close as possible to my personal monitor via Kemper output eq/etc.

This way when I tweak a rig at home, I won’t have to worry about the crowd hearing something very different to what I hear coming at me from my personal monitor. Like many of us, I don’t own or have access or time to tweak the pa speakers.

So isn’t the “speaker imprint” function of the Kemper Kone throwing the eq balance off between what we hear on stage and what the crowd hears since the speaker imprint only works in monitor out and not main out?

For those that play live and run through the pa, this is why it’s probably best to stay content and work with the sounds you can get with a full range/pro audio pa speaker (yamaha dxr/qsc k series/etc.) as it’s the same style speaker that are used with the pa mains.

I’m not sure why Kemper didn’t include “main out” with the speaker imprint function. I thought this is easy enough stuff in the digital realm?

These are just my observations, let me know your opinions.

I never got a shipping notice for my Kemper Kone. It just showed up on my porch the other day.

Just be aware in case you live amongst the “Porch Pirates”.

Also when I ordered the Kemper Kone the confirmation email told me to check the shipping status by signing into shop.kempermusic.us. When I registered there was no info of the order. Maybe because I purchased it first and then registered after?

There are numerous class D style bass amps available. High powered, tone stack dedicated to instruments, tweeter, full range speakers,

tiny portable heads, lightweight cabs, etc.

So why doesn’t a Kemper through a bass amp (Gallien-Krueger/TC Electronic/etc) work as a good guitar setup?

I’m not saying it should, but I’m curious as to why it wouldn’t?

Thanx

Thanx,

I’ll check these suggestions when I get a chance.

Quick story: In the mid 80’s my mom picked up an Ampeg Gemini II from a garage sale for $10. I ended up selling it to my friend for $15.

He eventually turned around and sold it to a music store for $50. I was so jealous! ha ha! Worth much more these days!

It seems most rigs in rig manager are always very bright. Can anyone recommend warmer, darker, jazz-like rigs?

Maybe something more muscular in the upper chord structure without being excessively Bassy? if that’s possible? I guess it’s upper mid range I seek.

I know I can tweak various EQ parameters on brighter rigs, but I’d like to start with a good basic foundation.

Thanx

I want to buy a cheap used laptop to run Rig Manager. Is there a minimum requirement in reference to processor speed, ram, storage space, etc.

Thanx

Gotcha!

If using pure cab in the output section as well as the cabinet section at the same time is ultimately stacking pure cab on top of pure cab, then should this be avoided?

I would say obviously, but I’d like to hear opinions.

Thanks

I wish the snapshot page would just stay open so I don’t have to keep pressing the rig button then the browse snapshots button then finally locate a rig every time I want to compare rigs.

Is there any way to keep it open as I scroll through rigs to compare?

Thanx
