Who else misses cents finetuning with Transpose?

From the manual

Reference Pitch PROFILER Bubble Tuner display. Use “Reference Pitch” to adjust the base pitch of the tuner between 424 Hz and 456 Hz, in case you need to tune your guitar to something other than 440 Hz

Got it. Sorry.

Not aware that it can be done on the Kemper, but maybe somebody has an idea

to also downtune cents besides the steps. That's what I hoped for.

honest question: Why?

It’s great for playalong. If you for example want to play Pantera stuff, it’s a royal pain because you need to retune your Floyd rose to 432 or 425 or whatever they were using.

IMO - forget retuning the guitar or digitally transposing. Like BB King said about using heavy strings "Why you workin' so hard?"

Retune the recording.

I will only use Transpose when there is no other choice. The tonal changes and increase in latency are just too much. That's not to be critical. I understand the limitations. It's a great tool to have when there's no other way.

For play along, I use Anytune and retune the recording. Much simpler and the app will adjust in .01 cent increments. I've used Transcribe! on Windows, which also has pitch-adjustment. In the age of tape recordings, *so* many songs were sped up or slowed slightly in post production.

That's more of a workaround, I guess it's not that difficult to implement in KAOS I guess

it actually makes sense to do this kind of re-pitching on the track, instead of the timing-sensitive real-time audio of the guitar signal.

With respect - workaround my a$$. It’s the right way to do it. The guitar and amp become irrelevant. It’s a standard feature in most softwares like it.

I can (and have) travelled with a headphone amp and $50 Squier Strat and been able to use it. Was using it before digital amps were a thing.

The recording is what’s off. Using the Kemper to do it is the workaround. You’d have to adjust it every time. Whereas the software saves the adjustment for the specific recording.

And then, if implemented, there will be another thread like :

Why is there a chorus / flanger / phaser sound when i play ?

I only have pitch activated ???

Cheers !

This is how you keep piano and harmonica players off your recording and you're seriously fucked on tubular bells.

If I'm picking a song apart or playing along I almost always use my DAW, It's just as fast as using any media player and gives you tons of control. I can open up any folder or file on my computer through it and adjust the tuning of the whole track quickly if needed. If I'm working on something difficult, I'll break it down into loops (and sometimes slow them down) to get real nitpicky about a passage or something. I used to have to move the needle around on a record. Now I almost feel like I'm cheating being able to tune it, loop it and slow it down and still retain the pitch. I think the transpose is fine for what it does, but even if it did fine tune I would think it best to tune the track. I've used the transpose but unless I'm on headphones (rarely) or have the playback real loud I can still hear the string and it messes up my head especially with something like a 335 that even when not pitch adjusted can be strange hearing the guitar itself with the amplified sound.

Then you need to illegally download the music. A lot of the time I just want to play along to Spotify or YouTube.

Or…You could actually BUY the song and support the artist.

Or you could accept others choices.

Or, y’know…..search and see if there’s a free way to adjust the pitch of online sources.

If I think enough of a song or artist to want to do a deep dive, I either already own the song, or buy it.

Right?
