flash memory wipe

    i'm getting pops and clicks from the kemper, and according to this line in the emergency section of the wikpa:


    "A system and a MIDI reset didn’t help. Then I performed the Flash memory wipe as such (NOTE: ALL the rigs will be erased during this procedure!!). After this your Profiler will be fresh, like new, and more importantly have cleaned out FLASH memory and should work flawlessly! All my problems have been solved meaning no noise, no popping, gain controls are perfect, output levels are perfect, high note aliasing noise gone."


    ... so to do the memory wipe is as follows:


    - push and hold soft button 1 (top left above display) while switching on the unit into Tuner Mode;
    - keep pushing the button until the Booting Maintenance Mode message appears;
    - in Maintenance mode push Maintenance, Memory, Init Flash, Yes, Ok, and shut down;
    - start Profiler normally, enter your owner name at the end of the welcome sequence, then enter System Menu and push the Factory Rigs button. This will restore the factory rigs.


    is this correct? if i've got a 'backup' on a flash drive, can i just do a restore, instead of pushing the Factory Rigs button to get the factory rigs back? thanks















    but then, from another thread, is this:


    first, please make a backup.
    to quickly delete a large number of rigs, use the 'Erase Non-Favorites' feature (SYSTEM, page 16)
    then, simply put a kaos.bin of the OS you want to install again in the root directory of your USB stick.switch the Profiler off,insert the USB stickpress and hold the < and > PAGE buttons and switch the Profiler on.
    hth



    .... so i've currently got a kaos.bin in the 'os update' folder in my usb stick. do i just copy that outside of the folder?

    ........ for the record, i only hear the pops and clicks when recording to a daw. i don't hear them when listening through the kemper headphone jack (although i might - i'm listening really hard for it, sometimes hear one but could be hearing things), and i don't hear it when routed through my interface (not through a daw).


    i hear it both from spdif and analog when recording on a daw.


    wiped my drive 3 times and was almost on my way out for a new interface before i narrowed it down to the kemper

    it's only on the kemper tracks, but ya, i've completely wiped my drives, and recorded with no plugs and no other programs installed at more than 1024 buffer in multiple daws. i've tested every wire and every device, this issue is coming from the kemper. i'm going to try the init globals in the system menu. if it's just that one little button, at the very least i'll have learned how to go from clean drive to fully operational in under 3 hours



    edit: the init globals didn't work.

    this is a song i just recorded to show. did it in with 1024 buffer, which is like 25ms delay. regardless, pops are still there.

    i'm a little drunk. i just need to know how to wipe the memory, i think that will solve it.

    update: reinstalled samplitude, works fine now, for whatever reason. there was a time during the last 10 days when i got the clicks and pops in samplitude as well, after i set up my template, and in fact the audio would get so bunged up it would literally just shut down.


    there are no plugs activated in samplitude. ........... come to think of it, last time i wiped my drive, i reinstalled all my plugs before testing it in studio one, because i put them in some random folder, and didn't plan on setting the vst location til after, but studio one found some anyway and loaded them. stupid companies put files in wherever the f they feel like it. studio one w/ plugs, clicks/pops; samplitude w/o plugs, no clicks/pops.


    one of these goddamn plugs is causing it.



    edit: forgot i found all the rogue locations and deleted the plugs. still, studio one loaded them at one time, wonder if that's it. maybe i'll reinstall studio one next time i can see straight. if that doesn't fix it, i'll go bug their forum, because now samplitude isn't getting anything.

    If you start samplitude without having fired up your interface, it is likely that you're not on ASIO but MME or WDM which may cause these problems. Check your audio settings.

    ya the process was pretty painless but didn't solve the problem, in studio one.


    everything still works perfect in samplitude, so i guess i'll just use that now.


    ... kemper sounds way better now, could be just my imagination.


    i'll reinstall my plugs and wait for it to mess up in samplitude i guess

    Quote from Peto

    Do you record through Analog or SPDIF?


    i tried both, and had the same popping/clicking effect. otherwise i use spdif. i could also record vocals fine through same interface, same pre's, leading me to believe it was the kemper.


    now i'm fairly certain it's just studio one, or some issue it has with a plug. i often get the same kind of noise when the screen shifts, or i hit ok in some menu.
