This is great news as I experienced such issue as well. Had dropouts at two rehearsal. Not really funny when sound disappears all of a sudden and is not coming back…

After rebooting and putting cables in and out of the Kemper it suddenly worked again. Updated to beta yesterday and will see on Sunday if it turns out fine.

I love my Kemper but hopefully it won‘t loose its reliability in the future due to updates or debugging other issues… as there has been no major update since a year it got me wondering what caused such issues…

Maybe start a thread on suggestions on what to include for Kemper 2 - JOKE!

nwmusic32 - I agree it would be great and its been requested many times. I think its as likely as a plug-in

I think that the Profiler develops great. One more thing that should be possible is a software feature that can work as a Rig Manager for my DAW. So one can use the Kemper like a Plug-In. Profile should be activated and stored automatically…

Quote from musicmad

You don't have to save it in RM in order to transfer it to RigKeeper. Load the rig in RM, tweak to your liking. Right click copy/paste on the tweaked rig directly into RK without savings. It works great.

Thx. I did not realize this. Have to check it out.

I did not use RM for a while due to its bugs. Currently I was quite surprised how good it is when tweaking sounds while recording.
One thing that still makes it quite a hazzle is that I have to save the tweaked rig on my PC or Kemper and transfer it manually to Rigkeeper.

So an alternative to Rigkeeper would be great.

My features needed:

- A button to send the dedicated rigs to the VST-Plug-in in my DAW which is Cubase in its current state

- Best would be if I could activate each rig automatically when recording a certain track.

So far a small wish with big impact on my workflow.

Agree with some of the earlier posts:

- A studio/graphic EQ in input/output section (save soms slots)

- A better way to connect ipad/iphone app to kemper head (USB dongle?)

- Better way for browsing trough rigs in RM

In another thread someone mentioned that the USB of the Kemper is not capable of handling datatransfer from such Wi-Fi-dongle. I wondered why it then is possible to transfer data from pc to the KPA and back by USB-cable but not with a dongle?
Would be great if someone of Kemper would let us know. Would be happy if it could be possible due to the fact that I plugged in an PoE permanently to my KPA to not wear out the fragile cat socket.

Quote from JoshuaL1

what could be great would be to have some pre set eq type templates in the amp block.
like - original eq - mars eq - etc. Not replicating the complète eq circuit but just mimicking those.

It’s only a matter of frequencies, range and peak after all.

Wish my EQ-Button could be used to switch the EQ or add an basic EQ like the stomp ones. Currently my KPA has an EQ-Button that is really useless and I do not get it why … why not make something useful out of it…

I wish my soundcard would sound halfway close to the Kemper Headphone Outs. My Focusrite sounds awkward. Though even the UAD Apollo was not way more convincing to my ears. There must be some magic anywhere.

Quote from Burkhard

I cannot reproduce such issues with OS 8.7.10 just hitting the up and down buttons of the RIG navigation cross of a Head model nor the up and down foot buttons of a Remote or Stage. If I hold a bit longer, scrolling starts as intended. If Rig Manager is connected or not makes no difference. I can even hit a button multiple times (hearing multiple mechanical clicks of the button) and the PROFILER follows steping up or down the corresponding number of Performances.

If you cannot control single steps versus scrolling with the current OS, please open a support ticket and send a video demonstrating how you hit the button and how the Performance gets loaded.

Dear Burkhard. Lucky you. I was on holidays and made a video today. It still appears randomly. I will sent the video to you. I am on the latest OS.

Best regards

Stefan

Still wondering why this cannot be solved. It once was away in a revision of OS 7.x. In this OS the scrolling feature was lost. So I still believe that there are links between those. A „loose“ or wobbly contact can also contribute

to this issue.

Hi Don.

Thanks for the hint. I tried everything but still find it a bit unatural and in band context kind of not audible.

Was just an invitation ad offerendum. Maybe there are others that have the same idea about it.

Regards

Stefan

I had a look at the addendum these days and figured out that the pitch fx seemed to be one of the earliest fx in the KPA (OS 1.8, OS 2.0). Personally they always sounded very unnatural to me and as I never use them (although I really like these sound options, e.g. Leadlines of 5FFDP) I never could get any really usable sound out of it. So maybe we can expect some upgrades as with delays in the future?!

Quote from Sollazzon

to be honest I ve aready voted +1 or +1000... not sure.. it's an old request.

BUT

... last saturday I've turned up the PA/Monitors in my lil studio and some great feedback naturally came out. Smooth and consistent.

so , now, I just say.

I DON'T NEED IT.

I JUST NEED VOLUME. !m/_

I can realize feedback without problems with my Cabinet. Personally it sounds very artificial to me. But cannot speak for others…

I would rather prefer a/the sustain option (like ebow). That would make me happy. Endless notes …

Quote from Gary_W

I’m still in love with my original one. I am hopeful the modulation effects section gets an overhaul soon in the same way the delays / reverbs / distortion / fuzz did. I’d like to be able to save fx chains within rig manager and apply as a batch to a bunch of profiles. Both of these are doable with what we have so I’m hopeful. But otherwise I’m good.

Would be nice if tonestacks worked as per the original amp but again I’m not broken hearted about it - I’m happy with the sounds I get even if it means multiple amp profiles to cover the bases as opposed to one and ‘you’ve got the amp as it actually is’.

A yes for me … rather a „golden buzzer“. No need for Kemper 2. In my opinion Flanger-Effects are not really good, same with Phaser. Tremolo is nice but not able to do Stutter-/Killswitch-Stuff. A second morph level or the ability to use fx with the effect button (on/off) as well as with morphing. Currently you have to make a binary decision…

Something great would be a kind of room correction. Meaning that the room effects on my tone could be erased by plugging in a simple microphone in the return input. I still have problems in our rehearsal room… compared to my earphones they seem to be miles apart although I own two high end BlueAmp-Cabinets…

Quote from gtrgriff3

I had, what I thought was a clever idea...

Footswitch 1 - Boost

Footswitch 2 - Overdrive

Footswitch 3 - Delay

Footswitch 4 - Boost,Overdrive,Delay at the same time

That way, I can turn on just one at a time, or all 3 at once with one stomp if needed.

Problem is, if you assign an effect block to a remote switch, then assign it to another, it removes the first one.

Is there any way to have 2 different switches turn an effect on or off?

Before it gets mentioned, morphing is not what I need either, because morphing cannot turn a block on or off, only change its parameter. So, for example, if I have the overdrive on, but the mix set to 0, then morph, it will do what I want - but then I can't turn that block on or off directly anymore because the mix is set to 0 on load. Same for delay, or chorus, etc.

Thanks!

there are several threads dealing with such issue. Some people were asking for a second morph function. But that would not necessarily solve your issue. I think it should be possible. As on or off is typically a MIDI Command stating 0 or 127 … so not a big deal anyway.

Quote from Frikeer

Sure is! But the complexity of that setup with Poe-injectors, and Ethernet cables everywhere makes it not worth it for me. I want less cables, not more!

Same here. A USB-Dongle for a direct access to the KPA without any further WLAN and additionally with all profiles on your personal rig exchange space. So it can be managed everywhere from a simple Smartphone App. Also the Backup function should be possible and so forth …

Yes pls. Bring it back into the game.

Quite right… remove the USB connection. Done …

Kemper connected to the computer? Then it is a known „issue“ that some Kemper players would like to have. „Lock stomp effects“ within a performance.

I think it is not only the style of music. It already begins with the guitar. I own two guitars where only the body has different wood. Everything is the same (Strings, PU, Eletronic). Guess what … my master profile needs so much tweaking to get comparable results in tone and feel. And additionally guitar tone is also dependent on other instruments. So maybe sounds anything but good to ones ears.
Apart from tonal matters why spend years, month, weeks to get your tone and spread it to the world? Everybody wants her/his tone not ones else. So it is also part of your personality. I doubt anyone wants to share something like that …

For me as well. No growing old anymore whilst waiting for adjustments. Hopefully it will remain …
