Yes they do.
This is not the white noise that ramps up after turning the unit off, this is a hiss while the unit is on. On mine during profiling, turning the ground on the send to ON does exactly as described above. Really loud hiss. The ground switch for the send is useless because of this.
So when you say they know about this, is it definitely this issue and not the white noise when turning the unit off?
If I understand it correctly, you can always have spillovers when switching between rigs, for delays and reverbs that are located in the default DLY and REV modules. CK himself mentioned " 'condition-free spillover' of the DLY and REV module" in this same thread (page 21) as one of the reasons to keep the serial signal flow as it is and not introducing parallel effects routing.
Brilliant. Thank you.
Display Moredrop the sun Yeah probably a wise decision. I just found another new problem with the Kemper Stage. I've just tried out the main output and the monitor output for the first time and there's an unbelievable amount of noise floor. So much background hiss...even when I set the main or monitor output to off in the output settings.
The headphone output is dead silent with no background noise at all so it's not something external affecting the whole unit.
It's not a ground loop thing as the ground loop options did nothing but also I plugged it in to the same power plug circuit as my Golden Age Project Pre73 to test things... I cranked the gain and output of the pre 73 and still didn't get as high a noise floor. So it's definitely an issue with the outputs on the Kemper Stage I think? I had white noise from the headphone output on Kemper Stage when the Kemper is off and Kemper Support said they knew of the bug.... Do they know of the bug with the main and monitor outs too?
I have so many problems I feel I need to post this additional problem in a new topic. Sorry for the complaint bombarding. Very unfortunate
I had a similar noise when I tried lifting the ground on the send to profile an amp. It was like something else got routed into the signal and the hiss was so loud. Could not use the send ground lift in the end to get rid of a little hum so ended up having to use an iso transformer to get rid of it.
However Stage users are not left without a chance for UNDO/REDO functionalities on their units
What do you mean?
So, is there a way to slave to incoming clock signal? I could not see the option. Does it only appear when it can see a clock signal at the IN?
Mine is occasionally doing this white noise thing on shut down too. It was only on one of the output on the left (I use the main left and right outputs). It starts off quiet then gets pretty loud. Going to update the firmware tonight to see if that cures it. Does it on most shut downs.
Also had it freeze on me twice where it needed to be turned off and had a dsp card not found (or something similar) error.
Edit still does it with the latest update.
Great to see its being looked into so soon. ?
Display MoreOne thing I like about the Kemper is its quite intuitive to use.
Couple of suggestions:
1) Download Rig Manager to audition profiles - look for amps you are familiar with or like.
2) Don't try to adjust profiles too much. If you don't like it, move on.
Not sure about the default on performance mode? Not sure if its the last one you had on there or when you last saved? Someone else will need to answer. Not sure about spill over either...
Thanks.
Yes, just slowly getting into programming a performance with a test rig with an amp that I liked.
If I don’t find an amp similar enough to my sound, I will just profile my CAE 3+SE or a Mesa Mk3. I could even profile my AX8 amp settings. ?
Thanks for the reply.
This tutorial is often mentioned on the forums and FB. HTH!
Since you - like me - seem to like reading
Welcome to the family BTW!
Thanks for that. Any info is good info at the moment. ?
Cheers.
There's a pretty good 30 minute Stage video as well. Goes over the difference in layout etc.
Thanks. Will rewatch that now I have the Stage here.
Vinny the manuals are generally really good. Rember that the printed manual that ships with all Kempers is just a basic guide the full upto date manual is downloadable from the website.
I would actually suggest starting with the tutorial videos on the Kemper website. Although they relate to the Head and Rack the functionality is pretty much identical between them and the Stage as far as I can make out.
Thanks so much. Will watch the videos now. Cheers. ?
My Profiler Stage just arrived today. Never used a Kemper before, been using Fractal for years and before that, my old Bradshaw system rack.
It sounds really good. Very happy. Just need to learn the Kemper way of doing things now and get my live set programmed up.
Going to dig into the manuals tonight and work out as much as I can. Before I do that, is there a way to have a performance default to any of the 1-5 switches on selection of that performance? For instance, on selecting a particular performance, it will already be set to go on rig 3 in that performance. Do performances have to have identical effects chains to have spillover work properly when switching between rigs in any given performance.
Anyway, like I said, really happy with how this sounds and looking forward to getting it programmed up. ?
Very cool shots! "When" you retire the AX8's, let me know if you want to sell one. I am Kemperfide but still want to try one.
Thank you very much.
Well, I think my son might want one of the Ax8’s. Will keep you in mind when they are retired. ?
Very cool GIG , way to go
Cheers. That was Swedenrock, 2017. Hopefully be playing it again next year as part of our festival run. ?
wow Vinny, nice day-job!
Ah. Thank you ??
I have my Profiler Stage on preorder. Been using two AX8’s live since their release. Straight to PA and monitors. I have waited forever for Kemper to bring this floor board to market. So glad they have.
If all works as well as I am hoping, I will be ordering another Profiler Stage and retiring the AX8’s
Really looking forward to receiving it ?
