Newest funky issue on my Stage: Having enabled a profile in RM on the profiler and then disconnecting leaves it in read only on the profiler itself. m(

I hope I can solve that tonight by reattaching the Stage to RM.

I also noticed that the light is sometimes flashing erratically, but I haven't yet used a stopwatch and videotape it.

I just listened to recordings i made, and the analog outs of the Kemper sounded

more "alive" to me

so no measurement which can show a diff between analog and spdif

just my personal opinion

Which is kinda weird, when you think of it, as you're chaining up A/D converters. Does anybody know if the Kemper does dithering on its analog outputs only? That'd explain it.

You could try running your recorded SPDIF signal through some plugins simulating analog gear (they usually introduce a bit of noise) and/or use dithering while exporting.

I'd try that myself, but my audio interfaces are all lacking SPDIF. *pouts*

Are your audio interface's 1/4 inch inputs balanced? In that case you should use a balanced connection.

No, but after I profiled my beloved tube amp, I'd buy it again!

It Is!

>I see screws inbetween the TRS< Well spotted Maybe the sockets are supported after all?

Can anyone else comment that actually owns the unit?

I can have a look at that later tonight. But from what I remember, they don't move a millimeter.

Is there actually a screw missing on the picture above?

Would be very cool if you save it then to the Rig Exchange

You'd probably also get the sound of my Morgan RCA35 with that. Then again, if it sounds great, why not?

Unfortunately, I can't really profile much at home. But I have plans for renting a small rehearsal room for a couple of hours in order to do that. Just not sure when I get to it.

Well, hi there.

I've been posting for about a week here already and thought I probably should introduce myself, as well.

I'm a hobby guitarist, playing mostly rock, blues, and a few flakes of jazz in a band. Living in such a big city, it's not always easy to take all the gear with you to rehearsal. I got a car, but sometimes it's quite annoying to fight your way through the traffic. And because I could avoid that by using public transport and since I had severe back pain the other day, I decided to give the Kemper Stage a chance.

The first two days were so frustrating. That damn thing didn't sound right, profiling my beloved tube amp failed, and somehow bugs in a new device tend to find me. But I kept on tweaking and twiddling and eventually ended up with a very versatile arsenal of sounds.

At home, for practicing and home recording, I had used my beloved tube amp together with an OX box. For me, it was clear: It's either the Kemper or the OX. If either one of those has to go, then a decision has been made. Today is the day: I just sold the OX and shipped it. It wasn't an easy decision, but for some reason, the Kemper Stage feels and sounds better while practicing on headphones and is rather versatile if I wanna record something. It still feels a bit weird, but Kemper can actually help me to never regret that decision: Keep fixing those bugs and make RM3.0 and that promised editor the best darn piece of software, that was ever made for bass and guitar players!!!

Oh, btw., anyone else from Berlin here? Lacking a bit of contact to other local musicians.

I had the idea to use a return path of a loop as well, last night and it seems to work well.

An alternative would be to use a Lehle 1at3 SGOS and switch between megnatic and piezo using the midi out from the KPA.

I also have an Arduino nano and a solid state relay for that lying around and wanted to assemble my own MIDI-A/B switcher for that. But... "so much gear, so little time".

Yes, the ability to use RM on a Mac without continually reaching for a mouse is a bit frustrating. I would love to see this improved in the new RM 3.0

Unfortuantely, that's not the only issue. I just tried editing Performances with RM running and connected to the Stage. Weird things would happen, like changes weren't accepted right away or try browsing through FX presets: It jumped constantly out of the preset browser and sometimes, when you reach -empty- the display gets dark. I hope this is just a Stage/OS7-only issue, since I bet this is really annoying for every professional player/guitar tech on the road. However, these bugs are hard to reproduce. I'll make some time to catch those and write reports, if that's of any help.

Yes, please do that!

Normally a few weeks after a product launch Thomann starts to sell custom made flightcases which are of great quality.

Personally I'm more of a flightcase type of guy and I have one for my Remote and for my Helix as well.

Until then you’re have a few of these lying around:

Oh, how cool is that? Gonna try that. Thank you.

Have you contacted support? If yes, would you mind keeping us updated about the progress and probable causes? I'm planning to use it with MIDI as well.

Hello Burkhard,

thanks for your reply. Indeed, doing things in the following order works for me:

- Change Rig to anything but the Rig you want to edit

- Edit the desired Rig's tag in Rig Manager

- Wait until it's done syncing

- You can switch to that rig

Knowing about the edit buffers and how syncing works is good. Getting a warning from either the profiler itself or from Rig Manager that editing the currently selected rig on the profiler won't have the desired effect would be even better.

Another thing, which is a bit annoying (on Rig Manager for OS X) is when editing a tag and you press Enter. It's nice, that syncs are immediately being done and it's probably a good thing, that your cursor focus gets stolen. However, you won't get it back unless you use your mouse. I'd expect hitting enter on a tag field will sync and put the next field in focus.

Happy weekend!

Device: Profiler Stage

Rig Manager: Rig Manager 2.3.10 Mac Public Beta

OS: 7.0.6

When changing the currently on the profiler itself selected rig's name, author, etc. in Rig Manager, the profiler does sync, however those metadata doesn't seem to become updated on the profiler. The profile is marked as favorite.

I have a couple of stereo wav-files containing IRs of cabs with differing mics on each channel. I'd love to not only load these, but also change panning and volume on both individually.

That would be awesome.

Isn't Kemper in a way related to NEO Instruments? The mini vent II just sounds amazing on guitar, even so much, that I don't care how realistic it is. But I WANT it so badly in my Kemper!

I wonder, that you didn't mention that ancient type of display.
