I'm not Ingolf,
BUT - whether changing to a newer or older firmware version, the firmware kaos.bin file should be placed in the Update Folder, not in the root directory.
Hi Paul,
Now I am confused...or, at least there is some contradiction / inconsistency with the Kemper Wiki page on this matter.
From the "System Management" section on wiKPA (http://www.wikpa.org/System_Management#Updating_FW):
--------------------------------------------
Updating FW
NOTE from burkhard: Upgrades are usually possible in one step.
Every version of FW is a full installation; it doesn't really matter what is installed at the moment.
Download the Profiler FW updates from the website;
Copy the unzipped firmware file kaos.bin into the root folder of the USB stick (NOTE: there must be no other copy of the kaos.bin file elsewhere on the stick);
With the Profiler switched on, and the flash drive firmly inserted, it will notify you that a new version is available. Go ahead and update it using the on-screen instructions;
Don’t stop the process, even if you have the impression that nothing is happening. Wait for the Update is completed on-screen sign!
Once updated it will boot up (slowly the first time, so don’t be alarmed);
Copy all the new rig packs that you want to add into the Shared folder on the flash drive. NOTE from burkhard: the Profiler is able to automatically see all rigs and local presets (e.g. local presets of cabs) stored in the Shared folder of the USB stick; they will be imported regardless the sub-folder they are stored in and even if they are packed. You could put a complete backup archive file into the Shared folder and import all rigs and local presets included in that backup.
Click on External Storage on the Profiler and then on Import -> import all;
Sit back and enjoy!
Booting the Profiler with a Previous FW Version
You may want to temporarily bring the Profiler to a previous FW version. For example for comparing purposes, or because – under certain conditions – this may help upgrading to a new FW version
Copy the unzipped firmware file kaos.bin into the root folder of the USB stick (NOTE: there must be no other copy of the kaos.bin file elsewhere on the stick);
plug it in the Profiler while OFF;
boot the unit keeping < > pressed. It will load the FW from the USB.
NOTE: this doesn’t install the FW version the Profiler booted from, so next boot will take place from the installed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Is the wiKPA site incorrect, and if so, who do we alert to have it corrected?
Thanks in advance,
John
EDIT: By the way, I just ordered my Kemper PowerRack this afternoon from Sweetwater. I will have it on Friday. I am so excited. I feel like an eight year old on Christmas Eve.
