Quote from Kermit

It wouldn't suprise me if newer FW versions of the Axe II could detect white / pink noise and sine signals to avoid profiling

to late now

Yes, it would be so easy to use e.g. an XML format for the rig (names) - they can encrypt the profiling stuff anyway.

How much would you bet?

My AxeFx Ultra was the second device in Europe and I got one of the first AxeFx II as well (own it since July 2011) - since one week I own the KPA.

I talked a lot about both boxes in the Fractal Forum - in case someone is interested:
http://forum.fractalaudio.com/lounge/45540-g3.html

e.g.
press and hold effects
press store
choose effects only instead of full rig
done

Yes!

At least we need a list for all stock profiles:
Full amp-name, full cabinet-name, used mic

As explained above I did both - it will only NOT lock if all steps below were done EXACTLY in the same way:

Rig A):
Delay & Reverb = ON
Effects = OFF
(Delay and Reverb should light dim, Effect does not light)
Store this rig

Rig B)
Delay & Reverb = OFF
Effects = ON
(Dealy & Reverb does not light, Effect light full power)
Store this rig

go back to rig A)
Press Effects - you'll hear delay and reverb
Press and hold 'lock'
Press Delay
Press Reverb
Press Effects
(in the display you get a lock symbol for all 4 effects)

look will not work = no reverb,,, in Rig B

Maybe it got broken from 6900 to 6911?

Today I profiled some of my Acoustic IR's (Bodys of Guitars, Celo's ...)

I put then into my AxeFx II and profiled then with the KPA.

It works but you have to be careful with 'refining' - sometimes it 'removes the body resonance'.

The funny thing is - there is no amp involved but the KPA stores a part of the IR into the amp and another part into the Cabinet

Yes, a CAB only 'profile mode' would help too.

"Phaser2" and "Flanger2"

I've got a lot of great IR's - could you provide a IR to KPA-Cabinet converter?

Did you do the same steps as I explained?

I use version 6911

Yes, lock works great in general - but not in this special case.

Please recreate the same settings:

Rig A):
Delay & Reverb = ON
Effects = OFF
(Delay and Reverb should light dim, Effect does not light)
Store this rig

Rig B)
Delay & Reverb = OFF
Effects = ON
(Dealy & Reverb does not light, Effect light full power)
Store this rig

go back to rig A)
Press Effects - you'll hear delay and reverb
Press and hold 'lock'
Press Delay
Press Reverb
Press Effects
(in the display you get a lock symbol for all 4 effects)

If I switch to rig B) I'll get still no effects - all other rigs work fine.

Yes, it works in general - but it does not work in my example - could you replicate that.

Yes, I agree - the UI of the KPA is great - I don't need a PC editor (with one mouse) - instead I prefer the KPA UI with the great display and many knobs and switches much more.
AxeFx vs. KPA is more like DX7 vs Virus

But the OP thought about an editor for the hidden KPA features. Somewhere it was quoted that the KPA captured some 60+ parameters during the profiling. We get only a few exposed as user tweak-able parameters in the Amp and Cabinet section.

So the idea is to expose more of them (maybe in an 'advanced' section) - and change the KPA from a profiler to a profiler with more modeling features.

Or to use the Synth analogy again.
The next step after the synth's ( think modelers) were the samplers (think profiler) - but then we got great samplers WITH great synth features.

Can somebody check this?

I surely don't need a reverb before the amp - but a delay.

Yes, it's a very nice box - like the old red Virus

If you like me though - great - there is an XLR mic input - and connect your favorite mic - and it does not work....

The KPA has NO phantom power - so a condenser mic will not work this way.

Either use a dynamic mic - e.g SM57 or use a dedicated preamp/mixer with phantom power before the KPA return.

does not work here - please try yourself
