Will try a new midi cable at some point soon.

It works setting the midi channel to 1, but the results are identical.
-
The sound sample i provided is on performance mode. The instructions for the uno4kemper chip state to set the midi to omni, it didn't work before i did that.

If theres any connection, my KPA is EVEN SLOWER to start uop after the latest firmware. Takes 30-40 seconds odd, which is longer than my 5 year old PC.

This is me switching between 2 slots of exactly the same rig. The effect is the same switching up/down banks. Latest firmware.

Balls. I hope its something they can address in future. Maybe when kempers FC finally comes out they'll sort it
-
As thread title. Switching patchs is not smooth at all. Haven't really changed any settings anywhere other than setting midi to omni to get the FCB1010 to work with it
-
Second would be perfect for me, especially if its connected via one cable, the network one. I just wish they'd hurry up and MAKE it!
-
In the meantime, what about writing the patch numbers on your set list? If you're using Performance Mode this gets even easier, since you'd just have to write the Performance number, and then you could organize your tones so that, say, pedal 1 is always your clean, 2 is your rhythm, 3 is your lead, etc.
This is what i'm doing. Its just a bit of a low-fi/risky/rubbish solution for such an expensive device.
-
Is there anything out there that can do this? If not i REALLY don't understand the enormous holdup with the Kemper footswitch. My bands KPA's will be in a rack out of sight, going to have to change patchs from memory and hope we get it right.

Hi all!
Only had my KPA a week, but already one of the performances i'd arranged has dissapeared. Has anyone had any experience of this? Had hoped to use it live, but now i'd constantly be worrying this would happen during an actual performance.
This isnt a case of forgetting to store as the performance in questions been on the KPA for a few days now.

Got an absolute steal on a super light 1u thing on ebay anyway so will see how that pans out

I see
Well, it's a bit different I guess.
From one hand, you're using a guitar cab. This kind of excludes amp linearity and fidelity as a needed quality. OTOH, since the overall amplitude response comes from the sum of amp's+cab's, you might actually find that a certain combination produces a sound you happen to love.
OTOH, this way you'll have no idea about how your sound translates to FOH, since the Main Out will most likely sound completely different. IOW, if you try your untouched patches through a more linear system (PA cabs for example) they will sound very differently. Basically, you don't have control about the sound you offer the mix desk. This may be a concern for you, or not.
Using a very good and linear power amp with your cab would give you a different sound for sure which you might find more pleasant or not, but would not solve the translate-to-FOH issue anyway.
Translation to FOH isn't a concern, at home i monitor the signal that'll be getting sent to FOH through flat studio monitors
-
Thanks.
The reason i asked is after i tried a pretty awful power amp, and it sounded awesome. So i thought, maybe its the kinda thing i'd get diminishing returns with.
-
True, amps can sound very differently from each other. Not sure 200 bucks are worth the experience, but a Matrix GT 1000 (as others) can change your POW on amplification if the cab sounds good.
Flatness of the response is just one of the elements which make a difference. Transient velocity, maximum impulsive power, average maximum power, phase rotations function of output impedance are all factors that change the feeling of your playing.Apart from the weight issue, I'd probably not going to change a sound I love for a 200 $ amp tho.
POW??
Its worth baring in mind, that i intend to use the direct out for FOH. The amp+cab is for monitoring only, and in the shittest of venues where they don't mic stuff up.
-
Thanks dude. I'm just trying to figure out whether its worth spending an extra £200+ on a poweramp, from what i've experienced and read at the moment i'm thinking its not...

Hi all!
I see lots of people recomending the RV 300 or a matrix poweramp to go with the unpowered KPA's. I wondered what advantage they have over other PA poweramps? I have a really old peavey CS400 i've tried running my KPA through that and a cab with V30's in and it sounds AWESOME. Its way too heavy though so i'm looking at replacing it, i was looking at something cheap like this: http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_e400.htm
-
thanks, i found the paragraph about the noise gate, but it doesn't detail about "unlocking" it, i wasn't even aware that was possible!
-
Is there a way i can turn the noise gate off on one rig but on on another? Seems a bit daft its not set like this by default.
They REALLY need to get the manual a bit more informative. Its more like an infomercial than actually helpful at the moment!
-
I think as well all my eq chains and mastering presets and stuff are all set up to get the best out of the vamp after 8 years of using it. So maybe i just need to reset and start again!
