Been messing with this and it is very stable and working great. Thanks to Kemper to listening to us and delivering a great product.
-
Congratulations to the Kemper team on the release of this beta. Great job!
-
This thread should be required reading for every product development team.
-
That is great to hear. Thanks for sharing!

Good points made by my fellow IT peeps and taken. As I said I hope they are successful. In the meantime I will enjoy my KPA as-is.

Not that I really even care any more about an Editor, I have learned to love the KPA as is. However I am a professional software developer here in the US and I have never worked on a project with an open ended time line. Stakeholders and Project Managers have this thing about costs and timelines that you can't just blow off. The main purpose of course is to communicate this to the stakeholders and user community in order to manage expectations. I am governed by SDLC and SLA agreements and am held accountable to them as a matter of responsibility. To not have a target is an open invitation to massive cost overruns and other things that jeopardize the success of a project. Maybe Kemper has decided to keep this discussion private for some reason. I don't agree with that approach but there is nothing I can do about it so I wait along with all of you patient folks out there and enjoy the entertainment value of this thread. I am sincerely hoping for the success of this project. Good luck.

It does not matter how many presets I end up with. Is there even a limit? The issue is that if I modify an existing preset I end up with two (or more) presets with the same name. If you don't see an issue with that then there is no point in me posting about it anymore.

Click on Output, press Save, Save Output Profile. I think it says "Output Module" or something like that. I am not near my KPA at the moment.

+1. More compressor models would be great.

I’m just somewhat perplexed with my experience...I feel like I’m the only one who has had difficulties with Highly recommended commercial profiles.
I can’t be the only person who uses the Kemper direct with quality QSC k series speakers.
Before I started using the Yamaha DXRs I was using the QSC K12s. They are similar sounding - maybe the QSCs are a little bit fuller sounding. In either case the same methodology applies.

The MBritt profiles are a good starting point but they are on the dark side. Tone Junkie is a little brighter. One thing I try to do is find the tonal center of the setup. By setup I mean the whole package starting with the tone generator - in this case the KPA - and the speaker. In my case I use the KPA into the Yamaha DXR 10. I have two of them but I mostly tweak with one. I also have the powered head and I have a few guitar cabs which sound good but I find that I prefer the FRFR and I am use to it. So heres what I do....First I find a decent "middle of the road" profile like one of the basic MBritt Marshalls (I like the Metro 2203) and maybe the TJ Stu G AC 30 profiles. I will load them up and before I start tweaking them I adjust the settings on the speaker to what sounds best to my ear. Most FRFR speakers have eq presets and through trial and error I have found that the "flat" setting on the Yamahas work best for me. Then I will make sure the input settings are appropriate for the guitar I am using. Over time and with tweaking I am centered around the 0/0 setting for single coils and humbuckers. At this point I might start to tweak some basic rig settings like Amp definition BUT the key thing to tweak at this point for me is the EQ on the output section. This is key because this is where you dial the tonal center of the rig(s) to match the speaker(s) you are listening through. As you go through this exercise a couple of times you should find that the various rigs will start to sound better through your gear without any extreme tweaking. This is because you are zeroing in on an appropriate configuration for your setup. This is not perfect and it takes a little practice but the payoff is that you will know that what you are hearing is "accurate" with regard to your particular setup. Good luck and happy tweaking!

This is the current behavior when loading rigs via RM. Load them directly on the KPA and you'll get a Replace option. Currently, any rig loaded via RM is considered to be in Preview mode.
WRONG, As I said, I am using browse mode on the KPA.
-
Can we revisit this please?
I am storing output profiles in browse mode on the KPA and there is no choice for "Replace". Indeed when a save an output profile it creates a new one with a duplicate name. This is not desirable behavior and I am wondering if there is some way to not have this happen.
Thanks -Frank

Why are you guys so focused on the number of switches. SMALL is the key here. Somethjing about the size of a large pedal that you put on a board with other pedals. Line 6 gets it, why not Kemper?
-
Either stomps or rigs, your choice.

I have this issue with my powered head connected to a Yamaha DXR10. When the KPA is off I get a nasty hum through the monitor but as soon as it boots up all the way it goes away.

CK, please look into the Peterson Strobo Tuners for info. The Peterson tuners are the ones to emulate. Sure totally custom tunings would be nice but 2 or three "sweetened" tunings as on the Peterson tuners would get us there. Thanks.
