    Mats: Can you use the analog exp. pedals AND the midi ones at the same time? I'm thinking to get a Snake with midi + 1/4 for the tuner + 2 TRS for volume and wah. This would leave me with 2 exp on the midi to play around with a couple of experiments....

    I have no idea about this. I think it all depends on how Kemper will develop the MIDI handling of it. Theoretically both MIDI and the exp inputs are just modulation sources so what it would take is for them to code it so that the KPA could accept more that 2 modulation sources.


    I'm really interested in seeing what modulation destinations they will set and how creative I can get with those.

    Thank you for your postings, because they helped al lot.
    With my Midi Boward (MFC 101) i can define what schall happen with the pedal when i change the preset.
    When this is switched to "off", the board will not send any pedal data until the pedal is moved.
    I will try this tonite anp post my results.

    Hi Jens,


    Looking forward to reading about it.

    Hi,


    I don't know about the Behringer pedal but many MIDI-pedals send out data for the controllers as the Prpgram Change command is sent. Just like I described in my previous post. A controller pedal connected to the jack of the KPA doesn't send anything so therefore you don't see that problem. So the problem lies with the pedal and not with the KPA.


    Having said that, I realize that this is very annoying and I also hope that there is a way for Kemper to program the KPA so that the problem could go away. Maybe it's as easy as programming the fx to ignore CC commande for the first few milliseconds as this is when the data is sent from the MIDI controller. Then again I have no programming skills so I don't know how easy this is. :S

    Yesterday I started programming my midi board (MFC 101) to the kemper amp.
    On slot 1 I mostly defined a wah pedal with automatic switch off.
    But when I switch sounds via midi pedal I hear the sound of the wah (according die the position) for about a second. Then the autoengage function switches the wah sound off, until I move the pedal. (this is what i expected)
    in my opinion this is not very usefull, I would like to hear the sound without the wah at once, and only when I move the pedal, the wah should switch on.
    Do you have similar experiences or did I do something wrong?

    Hi Jens,


    I've had similar problems with other products and that was the the controller pedal was situated just in between two values and could not quite decide which one to send so it sent one and then the other. If this happens here the KPA will interpret that as activity and engage and then after a while when the value has stabilised it turns off.


    Some controller pedals send all controller values that is present in the preset. If this is the case the pedal value will be send and also interpreted as activity.


    I have no idea if this is the actual problem or not but this is what can happen.

    Hi,


    I reported this back in November in one of my first bug reports. They have been very quick at fixing all the things I've reported except for this one. I guess they want to go for the serious ones first.

    Hi again,


    I imported these profiles into my KPA and so far so good. But when I tried to load them the KPA froze and I had to reboot.


    I have now downloaded them again using my Mac and will try again.

    Exactly. That's what I do with my Nylon string Acoustic - and it works wonderfully. Very natural


    Thanks for this suggestion. I tried that and I bypassed the entire amp section and use the stomp eq with very good result.


    Also if you use a steel string acoustic with the Fishman profile, fool around a bit with the amp compressor parameter. For me it yielded good results for some mixes where I needed a sort of more dense acoustic sound.

    Hi,


    I got my nickname Backing Track King over at The Gear Page from producing a lot of original tunes and backing tracks.


    At first I was scared of posting my music but as people seemed to like my tunes, downloaded the backing tracks like crazy and encouraged me to write/record/produce/post more I did that. One year I challenged myself to writa and post one new tune and BT every week for a year. I almost made it. I posted 51 weeks out of 52 so I'm still OK with that. :D


    These days with a day job, family and my own company doing quite well I don't have as much time as I would like to compose I do once maybe every month. Now I obviously use the Kemper for all guitar tracks. Will start trying to record my bass tracks with it as well.


    If you want to check out some tunes and download some BTs in varying styles please visit BT King.


    Comments are welcome!
