Official Beta 3.0 Firmware bug - Rig Manager related

skoczy · Feb 25th 2015

Hi

I was just messing with new merged profiles by Thumas and I found strange behaviour of Kemper, while switching profiles using Rig Manager.

Firmware 3.0 Official Beta
Rig Manager 1.3.1 on Windows 7

1) I play on "Mesa mk3 Merged 02" hi-gain profiile,
2) I switch using Rig Manager to "Mesa mk3 clean Merged 01" clean profile - it still sounds hi-gain, but on LCD display you can see "clean"
3) I engage DELAY on this profile - it works.
4) I switch back to "Mesa mk3 Merged 02" hi-gain profiile, which has no DELAY engaged by default - you can hear the DELAY although it is not engaged in EFFECTS section, looks like it's copied from previous profile,
5) I engage DELAY (I press button)
6) I disengage DELAY - now delay disappears.

Knobs (VOLUME, Bass, Treble, etc) work correctly.

I have NO PROFILES stored on my Kemper, I load them using Rig Manager.

Can anyone try to recreate this?

I think it is not just rig manager as I have been having many issues switching with momentary footswitches.

I found quite a few bugs so far. Today I deleted all my profiles from my Kemper using Rig Manager and I added some new profiles, After disconecting the Kemper from Rig Manager the kemper still lists all the old profiles, but it obviously can´t play them since they´re not in the Profiler anymore, and doesn´t recognise most of the new profiles. Lots of weird noises when I switch between profiles...

I've got the weird noises when switching as well if effects are turned on. Sometimes I even lose sound for a few seconds.

Same here. I have a gig this weekend and I´m already thinking of going back to 2.7

The Gate 2:1 stomp is called noise gate on the led screen.

I also don't have any profiles on Kemper, but when I power off Kemper and power on again it shows last loaded profiles from Rig Manager - is it correct? When I use browse knob there are NO profiles.

Yes, Kemper saves the last state.

skoczy · Feb 26th 2015

After restart, the bugs described here haven't occurred anymore. But they have occurred once.

I had also strange behavior for few seconds, no signal was coming into Kempers input. Tried few guitars on open VOL knob. After changing guitars and shaking cable it finally worked.. But this never happened before.

So are all the bugs I'm seeing the last few days fixed since they officially released 3.0 this morning? Seems awfully fast?

deadpan · Feb 26th 2015

Release notes state the two releases are functionally identical...

so then nothing was fixed.

Having tested FW 3.0 (former fw was 2.74) I will pass on the following statements:
update procedure: quick and without any problems
merged profiles: not really interested in them, so I skipped the issue
bugs: after copying a stomp preset to another stomp (ok) I tried to return to the main screen. The Kemper powered down and performed an instant startup procedure, much quicker than normally though. Nothing was lost, nothing was changed. Never expierenced this before.
questions: importing new rigs was quite tedious off late. Sometimes the Kemper tells me that there are no rigs to import. Well, I know better. Since I host less than 200 rigs in browser mode the reason for this strange behaviour surely is not to great a number of rigs.
rig Manager: did the update everything is fine. waiting for performance mode in rm.
as always: best sounding device I met in the last 50 years.
Thank you Kemper Team. You did a great job, as always.

definitely too fast! I'm reading now all the issues...and was surprised to read the beta was elevated to release.....

they might have had their reasons

skyhighrocks · Feb 28th 2015

Does the official release still have all the bugs being reported??

michaelmellner · Feb 28th 2015

guess the kemperians are emailing the issues....which will be fixed in a very soon to be created new release
