Real stereo delay help

DoctorScary · May 12th 2015

Ok everyone. I've played with this thing like crazy. I want a delay to go back and forth between my studio monitors. The manual says it will. No one anywhere explains how to do this detailed. Can anyone step by step this? Please? Thank you!

No one? No one here has a delay that ping pongs between the speakers that they can share how they did it?

Manually select a Stereo delay time, then select a Left/Right ratio (1:4, 2:4, 3:4, or 4:4)

It does not go back and forth between the speakers. It still comes out mono.

Is your Main Output Source set to Master Stereo?

mattt67 · May 14th 2015

Which output are you using? (The monitor out is mono)
if you hold the delay button and then turn the browse knob you can access the presets, i think some are called ping pong delay
also maybe you can try with headphones

I cant believe I forgot to check if the main outputs are set to stereo. I fell like one of those guys that forgot to plug it into the wall and wonder why it doesn't work. I know better than this. I'll check that and the "ping pong" presets tonight. Thanks for the tips everyone!

Main outputs are set to stereo. I chose a ping ping delay. NOT in stereo. They do not go back and forth from speaker to speaker. What am I doing wrong?

paults · May 15th 2015

Do they "ping pong" in headphones connected directly to the Kemper?

If not, set the Stereo Delay Offset to something other than 4:4.

If that doesn't work, With the Delay FX Slot enabled, and with delay settings on the screen, turn the BROWSE knob to look through FX presets - I think there is one called "Ping Pong Delay".

Headphones direct to the Kemper do not yield stereo results. I also did as you said and selected "ping pong" from the preset delay patch by turning the browse knob with the delay settings on the screen. Something is not right.

A true ping pong is impossible given the delay types. But you should be able to hear stereo separation by using ratios

DoctorScary · May 19th 2015

Played with it another few hours. All ratios and left and right combos. Nada.

I wonder if there is something totally wrong with my KPA. I download profiles after hearing them (free or otherwise) and they sound NOTHING like the sound clip did. (yes...I've tried several guitars). That combined with this delay thing makes me thing there's something wrong somewhere.

I think at this point you should open a support ticket including a backup of your machine.

Is there a profile in the rig exchange that has an example of the stereo ping pong that works that I can import and check to see if it works on mine?

Kempermaniac · May 21st 2015

I believe there's a delay preset called "Ping Pong" (or similar) on the KPA. Did you try that?

DoctorScary · May 21st 2015

Yes. I have. I did exactly as they described above.

If you try with headphones, make sure they have a stereo conector (two black rings)
If this doesn't work, contact support like some others said

DoctorScary · May 22nd 2015

Definitely TRS Headphones. I guess I'll start a support ticket. I wanted to try a profile that works for someone else first so I made sure that it truly doesn't work and rule out user error.
