I've never profiled myself... but I watched a recent video where some guy explains that the KPA guesses the gain after the profile for the graphic representation. I am curious how this works more in depth because while browsing thru sounds it seems some rigs have more gain than others, but the graph-bar graphic shows the opposite. Is this common? Why might this be? If I sort by "gain" I'd like them to really be in order so I can find the right rig for recording.
Thanks.
Anyone else not able to save Favorites or ratings in RM beta 3?
They just seem to disappear when I click on the next profile/rig.
thanks
Say I'm searching & auditioning through many clean rigs in RM late at night (at a low volume). Many Rigs I select can’t be heard at the same overall volume I have my system set at compared to to others. What might be the best "volume" to reach for to quickly bring them each into a good basic range. Seems I have to boost Rig vol (and/or) Amp vol a good amount to get some up to match. How do you guys handle this so we can judge the Profiles/Rigs from an equal volume settings? Is there an easy fix? Would I need to turn some down instead?
After this I'd like to "store" them with RM so I don't need to repeat next time I come across the Rig.
And why are some so low? Does that start at the Profiling stage? I'm still getting to know all complexities.
Thanks!

1 - this apparently a deliberate decision by Kemper. I can’t follow their logic though (even though they have explained it) and hope they reintroduce the ability to select profiles with either the Return key or Space Bar. For the time being you need to use Left and Right arrows instead of up and down.
2 - I don’t get this behaviour on Mac. Are you on Windows?
3 - I have noticed this too and reported it. It is the single biggest bug that is driving me mad at the moment.
4 - i’m not sure. I haven’t noticed myself but I don’t use a lot of FAVs
5 - this is part of the search bug in 3. If you go into the sub folder and hit return or backspace it will clear the search criteria. Even though the search box looks empty the search is still filtering in the background.
1. Thanks! that at least helps make it faster again.
2. Mac
3. Yes this one prevents me from getting a lot of work done at this early stage with my KPA. Buying, auditioning & organizing. I hope they get to this in the next Beta!
4. they are helping me get back to the good ones.
5. Thanks! good to know. I thought I'd seen then suddenly come back a couple times.
Hi just wanted to report a few issues I'm having with the latest beta.
1. Did they take away the ability to use the up/down arrows while auditioning Profiles in RM? It doesn't seem to work any longer. Now I need to dbl click each time again. Wasn't it a a setting in Prefs?
2. RM crashes most of the time while I drag and drop to organize. If I "copy" it seems ok.
3. When I use a "search term"... and dbl click to load/audition, RM now seems to leave the search and go to the folder where that Profile resides. BUT i lose the search results. Didn't it use to just load the profiles and then I could go thru all of them w/o losing the results and having to start the search all over again?
4. Is it normal for FAVS to not follow when I organize? If I set a fav and then copy that Profile to another organization folder it is no longer "favorite".
5. Some of my oraganiztion folders still don't show the contents... and other do. Not sure what's going on. Sometimes they just show one Profile, even though it says there are hundreds showing total in the folder icon.
Also is there a way to turn off show doubles?
Thanks!
RMV3. seems to not display some of my folders contents (local Library). Some others show all the profiles, one just show 1 out of about 1800. IF I go into the sub folders they are there.
Anyone else?
thanks
Hi,
Might it be in the works to be able to open multiple "blocks" to edit on one screen ...at some time in the future? Like open the Amp, Cab & Output all together. That would really speed up dialing in. Also maybe easier to scroll through the amps & cabs... instead of having the lock everything else and load profiles. Unless I missed it.
Thanks!
Wasn't there a way to do this with separate foot switches (standard) plugged directly in the Kemper? Thought I saw this somewhere, not sure though
So I plugged a normal sustain pedal (un-latched) into pedal 1. Set up pedal 1 for dual switch (tip=looper start --> ring= looper stop). then I inserted Looper into stomp C. All I got was a lot of hiss. Could not make it work or even get a signal with the pedal plugged in. Only when I removed it would my signal come back. What am I missing? Thanks! Manual doesn't go into this as far as I could see,
Is there a way to trigger the looper/rec/stop from front panel?
Without the remote? I just want to record some audio for a test.
Thanks
Anyone else have issues with accidentally programming some Morphing because your expression pedal was not at heel position while tweaking parameters?
I use my KPA for studio only... so sometimes I don't always remember to rock the pedal back when I'm working/ tracking... and sometimes I save w/o realizing.
Thanks
Hi, I recently was shown this video link to talk about trying to simulate speaker air movement with a dynamic EQ.. so that the sound "grows" a bit or is just a little more "alive". I have created a preset in FabProQ3 (trying to replicate) but my results are not really working for me as it's a total tone change when I tried to use it as is. And when I lower the threshold it doesn't seem to engage at all then... either full on or nothing. Seems like playing softer would just give less, but can't seem to get those results. I like the idea of what this could do to get another couple % points towards what we get with a cabinet/speaker so I was thinking how best to adjust this preset before I give up. Maybe just a have a slight "total" volume boost when playing more dynamic? Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks!
When you have questions when you're first starting out, the search button is a valuable resource:
Thank you for including the link! I must have not used the correct search terms.
What are your favorite (or most useful) ways to use the Quick Button?
Thanks!
Is there a quick way to erase all Morphing on a rig?
Thanks
Eric
Display MoreThink about it:
The Kemper contains the FX and Rig algorithms, not RM, so the unit itself is doing all the work. Any changes you make to a Rig are stored in the KPA's edit buffer, just as would be the case with other digital outboard such as synths and FX racks.
These changes, in order for them to stick, must therefore be "incorporated permanently" into a Rig and this is achieved by saving them to the hardware.
If space is an issue, simply overwrite the current Rig every time you tweak and save, making sure you then drag that edited (and saved) version to the "variations" folder you spoke of in RM before tweaking again.
Thanks very much! That is what I will do then.
Hi,
If I tweak profiles... how can I save them "only" to a folder in Rig Manager? I'd like to build up many variations (for later speedy recording). KPA is close to full. I'd like to save sometimes 5-10 variations each w/ diff fx settings etc... and "don't" want to save them the the Kemper itself first if possible. Or if I load a preview of a Profile from Rig Manager and then tweak it a bit, can I save in another folder quickly? I tried copy & paste but the edits didn't stick.
Thanks!
Display MoreOn the few times I’ve contacted support much to my surprise they’ve told me to post on the forum!
So when you send midi clock to your Kemper from the DAW, you’re seeing the bpm as a number that isn’t fluctuating and constantly recalculating?
This isn’t a delay setting for wobble. When I tried previously, using midi clock from Logic that’s what I’d see...the bpm readout on the Kemper kept changing.
I’ll try it again since it’s been awhile....new OS, new version of Logic and Kemper OS.
I tried again 3 days ago.
if you're in doubt that it works, please contact support by using the contact form on our website. In the tests we've conducted, the delay was spot on - unless one makes it wobble which, depending on how you set it up, is possible and sometimes intended. but that wobbling has nothing to do with the MIDI clock. it's an option which you base on a stylistic decision. so, let's work on that - okay?
OK, I will do that. Most times companies love it if you use the forum first for all the users to help take the load off tech support.
what do you mean by it doesn't work for you either? is your Profiler not receiving MIDI clock or do you _hear_ anything out of the ordinary?
I THINK I "can see" a TINY TINY "c" on the front panel screen like I've read about... so it IS supposedly getting the signal. But the tempo will not sync. When I look at beat scanner (liek someone suggested in a post) it says crazy tempos like 256... not even multiples of what my project is set to. And the delays just smear into an odd phasey flangey sound for lack of a better term. I've been using Midi Clock and MTC etc so over 25 years for many other pieces of gear. And from what I've read... this does not work for anyone I could find.
