First of all I,m a guitarist, musician, song writer. My second occupations are the recording, mixing, producing music. So I,m not a men of words, and I,m not too good in presenting my opinions - observations....and I have a very bad english too.......so please excuse me for the eventually mistakes.....I am a happy Kemper owner from july 2012, and before I have not any problems with my best musical toy: the KPA, except a voltage breakdown on a stage in november, before a concert, on repetition, when I have started it again after 10 minutes with succes........., but here are my observations about this new 1.6 version:
First bug:
- 1.6 upgrading with problems: first time with error message, second time with succes, but ended with a non starting Kemper. After this issue I was started with booting from stick, with the 1.6 soft, and it was worked perfectly. Started with the new update. I have uploaded the new rigs and it was a pleasure to play with them. I was convinced about the new upgrades sounding superiority....But next days, when I was started to play with my older rigs, I have observed a kind of strange, unpleasant latency feeling. (It was the same feeling with the new rigs too.) It was totally different from my first days impressions about the new upgrade. After this I have downgraded to my prewious version (1.52) and it was worked like before: perfect, with a tube-like playing feel. I was thinking that it was to do with the problematic updating process and I have tryied a few times to upgrade-downgrade between the two versions: the 1.52 and the 1.6, every times with a little bit different working processing mode. Sometimes it was without latency feeling the new version, sometimes it was very unpleasant responding....Anyway: the system reset procedure after upgrading seem that has resolved the latency caused unpleasant feeling problem for my Kempers problems too.....
Second bug:
- a few times after I have changed the browsing mode from Sorted by Author to Sorted by Amp the Kempers input has dying: no sound at all. I have tryied to make changes on browsing mode, on input and system parameters to bring his sound back, but without succes. After these unsuccesfully attends I have stopped it, and I heard a reverberated bumm-like sound, but on next step, when I was started it, it was worked, and sounded perfect again......, but after an hour of working it was happend the same thing again.
Third bug:
- Yesterday, after profiling a new amp I was try to tweak the cabs High Shift and Low Shift parameters, and every time my guitars sound was feedbacked in a very strange digital synthetizer-like sounding mode on the tweaked frequencyies and don,t want to stop time of a few seconds long. Today I have observed the same issue again.
After more than 5 months of playing without problems on a biggest (and smallest) scenes across Europe, now a lot of strange simptoms, which schocked me a little bit........
There is anybody with the same observations????
