Display MoreHello, I recently bought the KPA and the Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 and I'm having trouble getting everything hooked up.
A friend told me this setup would work:
Guitar>KPA input, KPA monitor outs > Scarlett Line in's (TRS), Scarlet Line Out's > Monitors (Yamaha HS5s.)
However, it doesn't seem to be working. I was hoping I could use this setup to record direct from the KPA but also hear everything through the monitors as I play. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I use mine in a different signal flow. But when I was needing help hooking it up, Focusrite Tech Support was extremely helpful. They were familiar with using the 6i6 with the Kemper and got me up and running.
I have the 18i6...Did you check your volume settings in Mix Control? I use the spdif on mine, but it took some tweaking to find the right settings.
I have a 6i6 too, here are my settings:

Note that i'm connected via SPDIF, but it should make no differences.
I strongly advise you connect via SPDIF too, the cable is cheap and it saves a lot of AD/DA conversions
The setting on the screenshot is wrong! Make sure you sync your audio interface to the external S/PDIF source, NOT internal.

What difference will that make ?
You will get clicks.
KPA has to be master for using S/PDIF, so everything else in the chain must be slave. Be aware that you have to switch back to "Internal" if the KPA is not in use. Otherwise you won't hear other sources which are connected to the 6i6.
Also we should mention that a lot of users get decent recording results by using other KPA outputs (not S/PDIF). In this case you can leave the 6i6 on "Internal" and everything's fine.
To the OP: what is the problem? Can you record? can you hear through the monitors while playing? NEITHER?
Also, if you are able, a screenshot of the mixcontrol panel would be a help.
I have a focusrite interface as well - the mixcontrol is pretty cool, but takes some thinking and trial and error to wrap one's head around sometimes 
You will get clicks.
I still don't understand.
My sound seems just perfect with my settings...
Sometimes you will not notice this right away. But when the profiler is not master there will be syncing problems to your audio interface resulting in little but audible clicks from time to time.
This has ruined some takes I did already.
Just make sure the KPA is master.
I'd say you'll get clicks as well I know I do. My tone doesn't change, but every once in a while (maybe each 5-10 seconds?), when the two clocks (the kemper and the internal one) go out of sync, there comes this little "tick" sound, like an old LP with lint in the track :-).
If it's something you don't notice while playing, great. But if you're going to record stuff, make sure to sync to the kemper. I'd advise to do this all the time anyway, just to make it a habit.
I listened to an old recording and found a very tiny click after 17 seconds, so ok I get it now 
thanks !

Yes, that's it. Once you know what you're listening to you'll find more of them. 
I had to learn this the hard way.
