Kemper Profiler Player Pitch Control

The lack of the Pitch Pedal effect in the Player is a bummer, because I use that effect with my toaster. I’m a +1 for wanting to see it added to the Player.

Feeling the same. I really hope they will add it soon. Another question: in the other Profilers is it possible to control it directly by means of an expression pedal, or do we need midi?

You can use an expression pedal for the pedal pitch without additional midi. I use the mission springy one and it operates exactly the same as the digitech whammy.

I’ve tried the transpose function bit it has a lot of latency and doesn’t sound very well…did you noticed that too?

I dont have latency but the lowest I go is -2.

All transpose effects introduce latency. The further the transition the greater the latency and audio artefacts. However, I haven’t noticed the Kemper being any worse than anything else. I have a Digitech Whammy DT but don’t bother using it as the Kemper works just as well for the pne song I transpose down a tone.

I use the transpose feature live to avoid taking more guitars out for different tunings. There is definitely latency in all products that transpose live, but the Kemper is the most natural sound for me. Of course, I am usually not going further than + /- 2 semitones.

Same here. One of the bands I play with does mainly covers, and it is quite handy for stuff like Purple Rain or More then Words

New to forum, does Kemper support usually reply to these?

I’m in ‘need’ of this toooooo

Getting Kemper Player vs Line6 etc… cuz my guitar player has head/floorboard and a killer Marshall Jubilee w/ pedals and whammy… side by side at our rehearsals

The Kemper lunchbox w/ expression sounds f’n great w/ just guitar tones and the best whammy and fx of all modelers as far is I’m concerned

I think I saw it in the Beta OS.

right. i guess i didn't realize that's what the one description meant. thx!

Just wanted to note that I was able to find a work around of sorts programming MIDI through Ableton Live and getting the transpose to work with the Profiler Player.

All i did was duplicate my tone i was using on the recording, and then saved the duplicate profile/rig with the transposed -5 semitones. In ableton, i would then use MIDI clips to change my banks on the player.

I really wish i could figure out how to automate CC's, though. Like being able to automate the transpose would be cool AF.

The Player offers the Tranpose in its Rig Settings.

This can be controlled via Sysex: controller MSB 4, controller LSB 4, value range 28-100.

The format of the Sysex comands is explained in the dedicated KEMPER PROFILER MIDI Parameter Documentation .

Hey Burkhard, thanks so much for this tip here. I was just able to get my Morningstar MC8 to control rig transpose values on the Player, which helps me cut down on a few redundant transposed rigs I have loaded on it.

well finally a straightforward answer i was looking for.

oooooh! so would that even enable whammy via pedal? or is that transpose function 'quantizing' in semitones?

from what i've been told, this is merely a workaround but it's not nearly as smooth or polished as the whammy effect.
