Every amp I own has input on the left,
You’ve been missing out on Marshalls, Mesa Dual Rectifiers, Blackstar, many of the Friedmans etc etc for all those years. Good hob upu have a Kemper now 🤪

Also, there is no such thing as an A# It's like asking for antifreeze for your 1973 VW beetle.
technically there is an A# its just relevant to which key you are using. The Key of B has an A# not a Bb for example

As you have already found out the Remote isn’t going to work for your specific needs. What would need to change about their MIDI implementation to make it useable for you?

Overall Studio and Merged PROFILE based on the same amp with identical settings sound exactly the same. There is only a difference, if you switch off the cabinet module or activate Monitor Cab. Off.
I wonder if there might be a slight difference if a user refined both profiles. As the refining may not be identical in each case.
-
In theory a Merged Profile with the Cab on should be identical to a Studio profile with the cab on. I don't really use Merged profiles much so haven't really done much testing but some people who do use them say they don't always sound the same.

Thanks for sharing.
NTR (War....) with both Kemper Drives on is particularly lovely

I could be wrong but I think the Rig Volume is +/-12db from unit gain so 0db is your basic starting point. However, the output menu represents dBFS which run up to a maximum of 0dB. Anything above 0dB is clipping.
I VERY rarely ever turn the Rig volume up from 0.0db. More often I would tend to reduce rigs that are too loud instead.
-
You can lock the Amp and Cabinet so they stay unaffected and then change anything else in the rig you want.

Stereo flanger and phaser stomps that jets left to right, Wheresthedug I don't want to waste a slot using a Leslie to do it.
The current ones do move across the stereo spectrum a little. I don't hear a massive difference from adding the Leslie to it. However, if you really want it to be able to "jet" from left to right use the Tremolo after the Flanger with tremolo speed at its slowest setting .

DonPetersen Have you used Deconvolver with Wall of Sound? I didn't think it was possible as TwoNotes IRs are saved in a proprietary file type wih no export to WAV option in the software. What is the trick?
Also just noticed it seems to be Windows Only

They could add more plenty more --more distortions and OD's, a freqout stomp, stereo phasers, and stereo flangers, parallel rigs for added stereo fun. They could also design a new kemper that profiles the entire amp from knob 0 - 10, and has a built-in interface. They could also make a 4x12 Kab (which is probably coming soon).
The phasers and flangers are already stereo.
I think CK said parallel rigs isn’t possible with the current hardware.
its fun to speculate so here are my thoughts;
I don’t think they have any interest in being a speaker cabinet manufacturer. They probably sell many more Kones than Kabinets.
The only way to capture the range of controls would require modelling rather than profiles. Therefore, why not just start with a model in the first place? Fractal etc already have that covered. The Kemper’s USP is how it captures a faithful snapshot of a signal chain. -
HI Alan,
as you see, another User trying to enhance the kemper through an external IR optimiser/IR mixer ....it reminds to the enhancements discussion started by me some days ago
High time to let the cab maker in KPA to work as the device here
or to use such a potential joint venture Cheers, Enzo
I actually downloaded Mikko after our previous discussion. I still haven’t tried yet it but it looks like it only offers the mic position flexibility etc if you are using their own proprietary IRs even though these can then be exported for use in other systems such as Kemper. Is that correct?
I’m all for flexibility and allowing people to make their own decisions but for me personally this all seems like too much hassle when the in built cabs sound so good already. Not saying others should use it just that I can’t be bothered with the hassle 🤪

What you think about effects section? For example i want use cabsim in DAW and also want use effects section in Kemper.
Any ideas about routing?
I would suggest sending the Stack section to the DAW then routing the output from the GTR channel back out of the interface to the FX Loop return on the Kemper. It’s not something I’ve ever done though some maybe someone else can chime in with more details.
-
you would probably need to use Input monitoring on your DAW in that case. There will be a little added latency and more CPU usage but it should still be OK in most cases.
-
there is certainly a qualitative difference as you increase the rig volume. Not just volume but I can hear the characteristics change (for high gain read: improve). This is apparent over even quite small increases.
Very common for me to get a profile loaded, think "seriously?", then tweak & go "shit now we're talking".
that’s just the way our ears perceive frequencies at different volumes and/or the acoustics of the room being excited by the volume. The profile itself doesn’t change.

i remember the 80’s when every rehearsal studio we used had Marshall JCM800 half stacks. I always thought they sounded utter mince - thin,shrill, scratchy just horrible. Then I tried some JCM 800 profiles and they were awesome. I’m sure the problem was that those amps NEED their power sections driven hard to get the sound and they are just too loud for rehearsal studios. I’d love to try one now with an attenuator though.

Are you monitoring direct from your interface? Zero latency direct monitoring will give you the signal before the plugins in the inserts. When you play back the recording is the Mikko cab working as expected?
-
What are you using i for? Live or Recording?
I haven't Used Mikko but I would assume -
For live you would make the IR in Mikko and export it. Once exported just drag the file into Rig Manager Presets.
For Recording you cn use the Rig with Cab turned off and just load Mikko or another IR player as a plugin in your DAW.
-
Nevyhad that happen but I did notice the side effect of using it was that I no longer needed heating in my studio 😆
-
No, I returned one of the converters. I just record XLR atm, no re-amping until I solve it.
while SPDIF does make reamping super easy, you still do it using analog connections in the meantime.
