The tap tempo of the kemper, or rather, everything about the tempo in kemper is the biggest disaster in history.
I've been testing for a year (including external controllers, synchronizing it with a continuous and precise external tap ... etc etc).
It is a disaster.
Really???
I never heard about that.
I've had a few devices with Tap Tempo and they all worked perfectly (Boss, Trex, TC, Fractal...). And I never heard anybody complaining about this problems with Kemper gear, so I'm surprised.
DXR15?
That must be enormous!
I also have a Gigboard for rehearsals. I used it live in a wedding in a little island. It sounds very good. And I'll use it again in that kind of gigs. For all other gigs I'm still using my Fractal AX8. I'll use it until I feel the Stage works correctly (my issue with the Tap switch).
The possibility of an accident is always there, so I've learnt to live with it. I always carry one of those plastic rolls used for packing food. It's great to protect from humidity (I play close to the sea very often, and that salt loaded humidity is not good for electronics), rain, dust, drunk people...
And I also always carry a Tech 21 Fly Rig 5, as a spare, just in case...
I think it's not Beta for the Stage.
The Tap Issue is still here in my Stage.
7.0.8 is here
PROFILER Operating System 7.0.8.15017/15018 is here.
Checking the Changelog, it looks like it doesn't address the Tap Issue.
Let's see.
...
Updated. The problem is still there. As expected.
The 30 days are there for things to return if you really don't like them. If you like the Kemper and want to keep it, then you have a guarantee of 3 years. So if there really is something broken or shows a really unexplainable thing then you can either have Thomann fix it for you or send it back to Kemper, directly after the "invitation". So, if you like the unit and want to basically keep it, which I assume, then just keep calm... ?. Try to contact Kemper support again.
Thank you.
I certainly like the Stage. That's why I'm keeping it, as you say.
It's just kind of a little frustrating to keep calm for so long 
. I'm not using it live until it's ok. I have 3 gigs this week in 3 different islands. I'd love to use my Stage, but it think I'll have to wait some more.
A stopwatch?
Good idea
Today, the Thomann Money Back guaranty expires.
I wonder if I did it right not returning the Stage.
I'm almost sure the switch is not broken, but 20 days have gone since I opened this thread and the support ticket and the problem is still here.
Yes, I did. I tried Tuner and Looper switches. Same results.
Yes. It feels and sounds like the other ones.
When the Tap stops working correctly, it uses to work if I tap a very fast tempo, but not if I tap a slow one.
When the Tap tempo doesn't work, if I go to page 2 in RIG menu and I manually turn the BPMs to the minimum position, the Tap switch starts working correctly again.
I hope this help.
It's strange that only 2 of us seem to have this problem.
This Saturday, at the gig, I checked the Tap switch in a good friend's new Stage. It had the same problem, but he only noticed when I demonstrated it. Anyway he didn't care, as he doesn't use the Tap switch.
and does the beatscanner work? (i.e. : pressing long on TAP)
Yes. It seems to work properly.
Is it okay after a power cycle?
No. After a power cycle sometimes it works, and then stop working after some time, and sometimes it doesn't work and starts working later.
It seems to have solved my problem with the Tap Tempo.
Thank you!
It didn't solve the issue.
Yesterday I did a fast check and everything seemed to be right, but today, after an hour of normal playing, the problem is there, again.
I celebrated too soon.

Men, I really appreciate and enjoy how objective you are talking about gear.
This seems to be a great and nice place for learning .
Keep on!

Well...
It looks like...
Yes!!!!
YES!!!!
Maybe it's too soon to celebrate, but I'm celebrating!
Thank you, Kemper team!
