for controlled moves, use RigManager.

Yesterday I installed new RigManager version 3.3, and I think it is not Beta version anymore. But, there was no announcement here from Kemper/Burkhard?
-
BTW: just changing only input noise, RigManager does not recognize a change, so the save button is not active. Wondering.
Burkhard : Is this an (unknown) error?

the best place is immediately after the offending item
Maybe I am a bit naive. But to my experience, regarding the source of the noise, it is (in my configuration) the distortion effect, a little bit also the booster effect. Switching them off, I hear no noise when the input noise gate is down. Switching them on, results in heavy disturbing noise. Now turning the level of the input noise up, there is a point, where the noise goes away. Then, tell me what is the source of the noise? The guitar picks? Maybe the distortion effects is amplifying the guitars noise; I do not know. This is true whether I use a Strat or a Gibson (I am not a metal guy and I do not use high gain profiles). BTW: putting a noise gate AFTER the distortion effect is no option for me, because I need this stomp for another effect.
This reminds me of the old days when I had some distortion or boost pedal before the real amp: after all what they produces, they made unwanted noise.

too much money going after too few goods
Yes, this is a result of disturbed delivery chains since Corona (in China, they had lockdowns until recently), US political sanctions directed to China, and so on. We are now living in a crisis world. Sadly.

After experimenting with all those parameters, especially resetting input noise gate to zero, saving the performance, switch to another rig channel, go back to the edited one, then turn the noise gate on to the level where noise begins to disappear, I got the impression, the system now reacts different to my original problem of fluttering dying tones when letting the last note or chord standing and sounding out. Then there is not that heavy fluttering wave I had before. Maybe a result of some caching effect in the profiler, gone away when you save another input noise gate level?
BTW: just changing only input noise, RigManager does not recognize a change, so the save button is not active. Wondering.

Don’t forget, built in gate is directly after the input. It’s quieting the guitar. Not the entire rig.
This seems some kind of "logical". But in fact, it does not work like that. I have this stack: Compressor-Booster-Distortion-Amp(-Equalizier-Delay-Reverb). Testing it is easy: put all effects off, and no noise is there. Then switch booster and distortion on. If noise gate is set to 0, then there is ugly noise. Then, as the manual says, turn the noise gate to some value until there is no or almost no noise.

Noise Gaters wins!
Sorry to say: I reverted it. Yesterday, in the rehearsal room, I was annoyed by the noise coming out of the monitor box (Kemper directly into the mixer). Therefore reducing the noise gate is not the solution (if there is any).
-
Ah yes, I got it (mostly). My rigs had a big noise gate level around 6. Reducing it could mitigate the problem a lot, although not completely.
-
There is something very ugly with the profiles / rigs I am using. This is a fluttering tone dying when you let the last hitted note standing. It is some kind of ugly, unnaturally wave (up/down loudness) instead a smooth, gradually dying tone. Are there any means or parameters to overcome this? Is it an effect of reverb?
Anyone else who noticed this?

Per "Schalter" nicht, aber das sollte per Morphing möglich sein. Besser aber, du verdoppelst die Rig-Performance!

Ist noch eine Android Version des Rigmanagers geplant?
soweit mir bekannt: NEIN.
-
Die Frage ist auch: für welche Umgebung? Zuhause? Im Proberaum? Auf der Bühne?
Ich habe eine HeadRush 212. Aber ich habe mittlerweile festgestellt: Kemper einfach an den Mixer, auf der Bühne reicht der ohnehin vorhandene Monitor, wenn der Mixer in der Lage ist, deine Gitarre separat einzustellen (Lautstärke im Verhältnis zum Rest der Band, die auch aus dem Monitor kommt). -
everybody is entitled to their own opinion
Yes, true. Just my (humble) opinion. After all, what sounds "good" is a very subjective experience, a matter of taste and preferences.
-
The PROFILER's gain control is absolutely tone neutral, it really does just increase the gain.
I doubt, when trusting my ears. What Kemper states maybe right in a very technical view. I always found when increasing gain a remarkable lost of tone clarity and especially a lost of the characteristics of the profiled amp. After all, distorted or heavy gain profiles tend to sound the same: mud, especially when played loud in a band context.
From another tone experience: using above mid or heavy gain profiles and decreasing the gain level always leads to are real amp tone .Just my ears...
-
Or is it just a myth with this famous "Amp in a room"? After all - it is not the amp, which the profiler can replicate very well, and most of you agree with. It is the sound coming out of a box - whatever the box type is. And then: it is the "room", which can be a very different thing. Further: the surrounding sounds: at home alone or with an (extremely?) loud band (which instruments take part?) So many factors, and of course your ears or subjective factor.
Or is it the problem that guitarrists are never really satisfied with their sound (instrument, effects, amp, cabs, etc).

beckish. Fine.
-
Yes, so it it is. The somehow simple logic ON/OFF. Breaking out of this simplicity is possible using another rig on another slot.
-
That statement isn't true.
Hm, the point I described: when you have 2 or more effects assigned to a button, then either all are in the state ON or OFF pressing the foot switch. OR one is ONE, the others OFF. So there is always a binary logic ON / OFF, but not a possibility to select 1) ALL OFF, 2) first ON, 3)BOTH ON, 4) second ON and first OFF.
If that's not true, please tell me how can I get this. -
This is not possible with the Kemper. Either both on, or the other way, one on, the other off.
