    Can be achieved by connecting an analog momentary dual switch like the Profiler 2-way Switch to the Profiler directly and assigning the functions "Rig up" and "Rig down". This way you can move through the Slots in Performance Mode in a linear fashion. Disabled Slots will be skipped automatically.

    ....


    I should add that I tried to go in the effect loop return of a Twin and a JC-120 before and it never worked: maybe I did something wrong or was in a hurry but I always ended up plugging in the input and the results were pretty bad. If the venue is small and the amp provided is a combo, I'd rather go old school.

    Some amplifier's effect returns only work, while something is plugged into its effect send. So just plugging a loose TS jack into the effect send could make a difference.

    Regarding "...back then there was no Master Output EQ ...."


    As far as I remember - and I checked our change logs - Monitor Output EQ and Main Output EQ were never added. These features exist since the initial release of the Profiler. These were never called "Master Output EQ" as these are associated with the physical outputs, which are called Main Output and Monitor Output.

    The answer is: Not at all. The Remote is no MIDI controller.


    What you could do: With every Slot that gets loaded in Performance Mode up to two MIDI program changes can be sent to up to two external devices. It doesn't matter how the Slot gets loaded: with Remote, with analog switches, manually or via MIDI. So, this is really a Profiler capability. If your Line 6 HX can receive MIDI program changes to load its presets, that's what you could do. Details about sending MIDI can be found in the Reference Manual chapter "MIDI".

    The answer is no.

    You need to feed the microphone signal into the Return of the Profiler. Have you consulted the Profiling Guide? It includes graphics. S/PDIF is nowhere mentioned there.


    If you want to use a condenser mike you need to put a device in between, which provides phantom power e. g. a mixing desk, but the signal needs to be fed into the Profiler's Return and nothing else.

    As a ground rule: If the power amp is switched on or off has absolutely no impact on any other line level output signal.


    Exception: Monitor Out, if Power Amp Boost is <> 0. Power Amp Boost influences the Monitor Output signal, but only while the power amp is switched on. Remember: The Monitor Output signal is shared and also used to feed the internal power amp. Those two are linked together. However there is no need to feed the PA from the Monitor Output. The Main Output XLR is the better choice anyhow.

    Yes, good plan, and you could delete Presets, which are meaningless for you. The Profiler gets delivered with examples, but you are free to create you shortlist of meaningful Presets.

    Wah Wah is the name of an Effect Type, which comes up, if you turn the Type Knob while an Effect Module is open. That name is hard-coded in the software. it loads the Effect Type while all parameters are maintained. No Preset involved.


    If you want to search Effect Presets you need to turn the Browse Knob while an Effect Module is open. Hopefully you remember its given name and can find it in the list of Effect Presets. The Preset loads the Effect Type AND all its parameter settings.

    Monitor Cab Off is included in Output Presets


    Power Amp on/off is not as Output Presets are universal and not every Profiler has a power amp. On the other hand you can leave the power amp on anyhow. It doesn't require a load and it's power consumption is low, while it is idle.

    Assignments of Stomps and Effects Section could also compete with each other on the same Effect Button(s) of another Rig. I guess, it makes also no sense to make Presets of Modules and Sections behave differently in this respect. Wouldn't be intuitive. The consequences of loading such a Preset with assignments are hidden in the way, that you cannot know in advance, what will happen - the Preset name as such in the list of Presets doesn't tell you anything about their assignments - and then after loading the Preset it's hard to compare and figure out the impact it had on the Rig's assignments. If you load a Section Preset it could affect all four Effect Buttons at once. After the fact you only see the new scenario.


    If you want to use the same Stomps or Effects with their assignments all the time you could lock these Sections. At least temporarily while you create new Rigs. Locking does include Effect Button assignments as long as the Effect Buttons have only single assignments. If Effect Buttons have multiple assignments these could mix locked and unlocked Modules/Sections, which is another rathole. That's why Effect Buttons with multiple assignments are withdrawn during locking. Or you could selectively browse and just browse the Stack, Amp or Cab, which will maintain Stomps and Effects including all their assignments..


    User friendliness is sometimes a question of keeping things simple.

    Let's assume you create a Preset of a Distortion in Module A and that would hypothetically include an assignment of Effect Button III. Now you move to another Rig and load this Preset into Module C. In this Rig the Effect Button III is already assigned to Delay and Reverb. What should now happen?


    Should the assignment of Delay and Reverb be overwritten? But this might come as a surprise. What, if you don't want that?


    Should the assignment of the Distortion be added beside Delay and Reverb? So, Effect Button III would now switch Delay, Reverb ... and Distortion, but you just see Delay and Reverb, as the third assignment is "hidden". Another potential surprise. What if the Effect Button III had already four assignments? Should the first or the fourth be overwritten now? Or should the new assignment we waved?


    If you would load such a Preset, it would be practically unpredictable, what happens. I think, this is a rathole. That's why the assignments are not included in the Presets.

    Man kann auf dem USB-Stick mehrere Betriebssystem-Versionen speichern, muß die dann nur nach Bedarf umbenennen.


    Ich habe im Folder "OS Update" z. B. "kaos5.4.1.bin" sowie "kaos5.5.0.bin". Ich benötige dann nur irgendeinen PC, um die benötigte Datei ggf. in die Root Directory zu kopieren und umzubenennen in "kaos.bin".


    So könnte man im Notfall von einer Public Beta auf einen Release downgraden. Man benötigt halt nur irgendeinen PC mit USB-Anschluß.

    Beim Editieren am Frontpanel gibt es kein Spillover; genau so wie bei CC#26.


    Bei CC#27 gibt es Spillover; genau wie beim Benutzen eines Effect Buttons an der Remote. Habe ich auch noch mal in 5.5.0 getestet.


    Die Option "Rig Spillover Off" in den Rig Settings wirkt sich nur beim Rig/Slot-Wechsel aus, nicht beim Ein- und Ausschalten eines einzelnen Moduls.


    Der Delay-Effekt muß sich unbedingt im DLY-Modul befinden, sonst gibt es unter keinen Umständen ein Spillover

    Man kann das "kaos.bin" ins Root-Verzeichnis packen und praktisch beliebig viele Backups in den Ordner "Backups" schreiben. Beim Restore kann man sich das gewünschte Backup aus einer Liste aussuchen.


    Für alle Profiler-Transaktionen reicht grundsätzlich ein USB-Stick aus. Es sei denn, man will plötzlich eine andere Betriebssystem-Version einspielen, denn es darf auf dem USB-Stick nur eine einzige Datei mit dem Namen "kaos.bin" geben.
