Delay Changing Rigs POD HD500 midi controller

Alejandrocarrera · Apr 4th 2013

Hi i set up my pod hd500 as midi controller for the kemper, everything works good but i have just noticed 2 things

Problems:

1.-There's a little delay when switching profiles, not very long but noticeable
2.-There's a little delay using the Oppression Pedal as Amp Gain controller

has anyone having the same problem? i had an old midi cable and i'm wondering if this is the issue, but i dont want to spend money on a good midi cable and notices i have the same problem =(

thanks for your help

I have the same setup. Only experience a noticeable delay on the very first program change after booting up the KPA. After that, there are no delays for me, at least that I can notice. I only use the expression pedal for wah and have no problems with it.

thanks could it be my midi cable the problem?

I'm not sure. Maybe you can check something else first. Did you use the computer program HD500Edit to assign your patch changes? Possibly the HD500 is sending more data than just the Program Change. I have no idea if that would cause the KPA to delay, but it may be worth checking before buying a new cable.

There are quite a few people on here using the HD500 as a controller, you might find those threads where it's discussed and PM those forum members.

try upgrade the kpa to firmware 1.7, it solved my problems with switching lag on my HD500 .

Thanks i am running firmware 1.7 , the delay is only when changing rigs using pod hd500 , going to try disabling effects that uses to mark on/off effects to see that it fixes it

Have you set the hd500 to worke in ABCD mode?

Alejandrocarrera · Apr 6th 2013

Oops I don't think so, I will be able to turn on/off effects too in that mode? I guess that option is accessible via Home button right? Thanks
