Newby - overwhelmed/daunting

FLYINGVKID · Mar 16th 2016

Hi everyone - another newby here....just got my powered toaster.....a little overwhelmed by all the technology tbh...read a few threads and its kinda daunting.....My first priority is to record directly but....having tried both trs cables and xlr cables...no signal is being registered??...Im completely non-techy and can only just about dress myself in the morning...so i need help (not with dressing) but with getting to grips with my KPA..

Is there a newby section? ps i like to play thru my marshall 4x12 and i switch off the cab emulator but i have not entered into the pure cab setting for fear of electrocution and or death by confusion
Thx

Check that the correct outputs are selected and the volume is up.Check the output section by pressing 'Output' and scroll through the pages

Hi and welcome to the forum @FLYINGVKID - to record directly, you need to connect Kemper to your interface using XLR cables or SPDIF digital connection. Then in DAW of your chioice you need to select appropriate input, to which Kemper feeds the signal.

Good, if you play your regular 4x12 cabinet, switch off Cabinet emulation by ticking "Cabinet Off" option in MASTER output settings.

This is subforum for general discussion.

@FLYINGVKID you may also try the manual prepared by one our forumities @viabcroce - you can find the link in this thread ---> A tutorial for first-dating the Profiler! Now with link

Welcome Flyingvkid,
I'd also suggest you visit wikpa.org

... and reading at least once the two manuals would not hurt anyway! ;D

Welcome! You'll get to grips with it soon. The time you spend learning about the KPA and your connections will be well worth it. Please expain, so others can help you, what your connecting to for recording and how you have it setup to the KPA. Don't fear though, help is always around the corner

welcome on board. The KPA can be a little daunting at first due to how much it has to offer but a good read of the manual a couple of times and playing around with it, you will soon get the hang of it

The unit is actually easy and logical to operate.
And welcome.

Welcome to the forum. As previously suggested, the Wikpa is a great resource, as are the manuals. After that, this forum has a LOT of useful members!

thanks everyone for your kind answers and guidance - i haven't figured out how to respond to msgs individually but thank you all - lots of reading and youtube vids!!!

Welcome FlyingV.

The Kemper is really very logical and amazingly easy to use once you get over the initially daunting moment of "err.... wtf are all these flashing buttons?!?!".
Rest assured absolutely everyone in this forum had that feeling to some degree after they first excitedly powered it up

Feel free to ask any questions (even if you think its a stupid and simple one). This is a super friendly forum with lost of helpful ppl to help ya.

Welcome, Flyingvkid!

Hang in there mate; it'll come.

Freisegler · Mar 18th 2016

Yeah, welcome from sunny Munich! With a powered toaster, your in the lucky position not to have to worry about power on stage.

The question you might want to ask yourself is whether you want a trad cab or FRFR.

Welcome - even when the KPA is more complicated than a tube amp - you'll love it after some time.
