Kemper Player transpose / pitch FX is missing SMOOTH CHORDS

  • Hi all, I'm a long time kemper profiler user, I bought a kemper player, assuming that the transpose FX / pitch would be the same as the one from the Kemper profiler. I had a big disappointment as the transpose FX is missing the SMOOTH CHORDS setting, and without it the transpose of bass and low tuned guitar is sounding quite bad.


    Attached you find some pics while I was testing the player with a BASS guitar, and a sound file with the following notes:


    open E of the player with transpose -2

    open E of the profiler with transpose -2 (with smooth chords!)

    open B of the player with transpose -2

    open B of the profiler with transpose -2 (with smooth chords!)


    This was quite disappointing, so it should be quite high on the "to do list", IMHO.

  • IIRC in the main profilers the transpose under rig does not have or really need a smooth chords thing as its just a stepper. That smooth setting applies to the other pitch fx in the effects block, which is not in the player (yet but hopefully soon) where the only current pitch effect is the analog octaver.
