New update 1.0.6

    Ive been using 1.0.5 for a while now and thought the sound had gone all weird but I put it down to my ears adjusting after using other gear for a week or so.
    Aaargh Ive got a studio booked next week for profiling.
    Which firmware do I use?

    That was what I thought as well when I upgraded to 1.0.5. - I thought the sound I had programmed (which was previously so great in 1.0.4) was just mediocre, and I thought I just remembered it wrongly to be so awesome.
    But the behavior of 1.0.6 just showed me that something is indeed fucked up - and it started with 1.0.5.
    When I boot up with 1.0.6. I get the great sound back, just like I felt with 1.0.4.


    SGP, I would say, use FW 1.0.4 to profile anything. It seems to be the best sounding FW.


    Also, please contact support as well with your impression.

    Ok, having the unit unplugged didn't help. Another system reset - didn't help. Going back to firmware 1.03 - didn't help. I thinkl I am trying 1.04 and a system reset if that doesn't work I hope Kemper is up with a solution real quick. I had fishy feelings about the unit not sounding as good since quite some time as well but as everybody else I though maybe I was romanticising previous sounds - but no, the sound changed definitely!

    Bad News:


    Going back to 1.04 - still the same. System Reset on 1.04 - still the same. WTF?

    that makes no sense - a software update won't change firmware or hardware. Maybe something else going on?


    I am still at delivery code (because I only received mine on Thursday) so I'l going to go for 1.04 which seems the safest option. Is that right?

    I have been pretty scientific about this so my ears are not playing tricks on me and always recorded into pro tools after every step i took. And going back to the old software didn't change that...go figure

    Hi,
    Only had my KPA a couple of days and I experience the same problem.
    Have only done one upgrade and it is to version 1.0.4.


    Done some testing:
    Setup: Guitar -> KPA -> Headphones (in KPA), nothing else.


    Hope I made "system reset ..." the right way.
    Turn of KPA - press and hold "system" -Turn on KPA.
    1. Test with a rig I profiled myself inkluding some stomps and effects in KPA.
    - load rig
    - Turn of KPA
    - Turn on KPA and listen to the sound
    - Browse to the same rig and load it and the sound is different.
    2. Test with same rig but turn of stomps and effects in KPA and save as a new rig.
    - load rig
    - Turn of KPA
    - Turn on KPA and listen to the sound
    - Browse to the same rig and load it and the sound is different.
    3. Test with same rig but turn of stomps, effects and STACK in KPA and save as a new rig.
    - load rig
    - Turn of KPA
    - Turn on KPA and listen to the sound
    - Browse to the same rig and load it and this time I can´t tell if the sound is different.
    So maybe the problem is in the "Stack module" ?
    According to my taste the sound is better after turn on KPA and don´t reload the rig.


    Conclusion.


    Setup in Studio:
    Load the rig you want to record - turn of KPA - turn on KPA - newer change rig :wacko:
    Maybe a solution but not so practical ???

    exactly - it doesn't add up. Are you sure that any changes you made to EQ as a result of 1.04 (ie reduce mids, push highs) haven't been continued into this release - eg 1.04 is rich in the mids so you reduce those - then 1.05 reverts to pre 1.04 settings and you are only just noticing?

    Ok: did a system reset. Nothing changed.
    Went back to 1.0.4 (release) - same behavior now!!!!!!!!! You load up the rig. It sounds ok. You switch forth and back - it gets treblier and thinner. WTF??????????????????????????????????? Did I not notice this back then, or did upgrading to 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 seriously screw the unit? Like a virus or something?!?!?!
    Will try 1.0.2 next

    English is good enough Bjorn...


    OK - I'll do the test as I have a Kemper with original factory software 1.0xx and will let you know if it's there from box fresh
