screen shots of what i meant:

Start of list (up button is still illuminated)

end of list: (down button is still illuminated)

Only just upgraded to the current version and noticed when filtering and scrolling through profiles the up/down/left/right "rig" select buttons dont illuminate correctly.
Previously, the only ones illuminated are the ones in which direction you can move and reaching the end of a list that button goes dim.
However, i noticed when at the start of a list the down and left buttons go dim whereas it should be up and left that go dim. Similarly at the end of a list the left-button should be dim but its the right-button that does dim.
Doesnt affect operation, just a visual indication so not life-threatening. Perhaps anyone else can verify that its not just me?
Perhaps this has already been discovered

EDIT: meant up and down, not left and right

only just jumped from v2 to v3 and i'm missing it already.
bring it back, please

There is still an issue with 3.0 and upper firmwares, regarding the way you edit FX and AMP & CAB parameters, the old 'Direct edit mode' is gone, and lots of old time users still suffer from this problem. I won't downgrade since I like the new features and rig packs.

EDIT: i did use to use "direct edit mode" , so is there no longer a similar option other than hold down the slot button to edit?

Great to hear from you, Raoul. Wise words.
Did you get the slot-change audio-glitch resolved that was nagging you a while back?

I've been away from the forums for a while and happily gigging with v2.5 firmware. (Thanks to MBritt)
I moved up to v2.6 (public release) when it came out but had a few issues so reverted back to 2.5 and, To be honest, it serves me well and I don't feel the need to install the latest FW, which I believe has been current for a number of weeks now.
I'm not looking to change my setup or use the new "merged" profiles, nor do I feel the need to abandon my FCB1010 for an alternative foot controller. However, something in me thinks getting the latest FW might be worth doing but I'm telling myself to leave well alone as all is well at present.
has anyone else had this dilemma? Or possibly made the FW upgrade and felt it not necessary or significantly advantageous?
thanks all.

Thanks, Raoul. Done it at regal but recorded & mixed myself. Didn't actually use the in-house gear, just logic.
Still learning....

you know Lee then?

Not for the strictly-metal-only heads, a recent live studio session.

Same here too.
Rotating ipad from/to landscape to/from portrait and back sometimes resolves this.
so is this an iOS issue or the forum?

Credit to anyone that invests their time exploring the KPA and shares their discoverys, experience and knowledge of this awesome piece of kit for others to benefit from.

Hi.
I've start searching of a looper MIDI messages after some user post: who accidentaly activated it in FW 2.6.0:
kemper 2.6 looping problem (with midi)

I believed there is a magical MIDI message that activate the LOOP recording an playing.

You can read some of the story here:

Microdesignum4KPA - good cheap midi footswitches

I began searching with web Jazz Plugin - based on simple html script that loop trough start NRPN to end NRPN messages sending to them 1 and 0.
I'm mostly home/bedroom player and i don't know if I need a Remote ( which is a fine piece of gear nicely integrated with KPA) to play in my home.

Peto helped me to search trough a lot of NRPN messages .

AND WE HAVE FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

on 2.7.4 FW
also it is working on 2.8 betas.

It's working like a charm:) No latencies:) at the moment we are searching for other looper buttons/functions- but maybe the next NRPN commands will do.

So here is the info:
you have to send NRPN message to the kpa with (hex notation):

MSB: 7D
LSB :58

with the value :

MSB:00
LSB:01
to activate recording and with the value:

MSB:00
LSB:00

to stop recording and play the loop.

With MIDI-OX you can try this with following commands to START the LOOP RECORDING:

$B0 $63 $7D
$B0 $62 $58
$B0 $06 $00
$B0 $26 $01

to PLAY LOOP RECORDING:

$B0 $63 $7D
$B0 $62 $58
$B0 $06 $00
$B0 $26 $00

FOR JAZZ MIDI PLUGIN IS:

0xB0,0x63,0x7D,0xB0,0x62,0x58,0xB0,0x06,0x00,0xB0,0x26,0x01
and
0xB0,0x63,0x7D,0xB0,0x62,0x58,0xB0,0x06,0x00,0xB0,0x26,0x00

I've wroted a html script to test this function(see attachment).
You have to install Jazz Plugin from here:
http://jazz-soft.net/download/Jazz-Plugin

1. Select your Midi adapter from the list
2. Push on "loop rec" to record
3. Push off "loop rec" to start playing a loop

The sad news is : with new official FW 3.0 posted today Looper is not working anymore

Dear KPA team - please make looper
available also for us - who don't need Remote at the moment and still
would like to use Looper function which is apparently present in our
Profilers and is usable also with MIDI. We don't ask much. We don't need
fancy display on Remote to use looper. Simple message about looper
state on KPAs display will be enough for us.

Best Regards
Damian Greda

What other controls did you discover hidden under the NRPN functions?

it wouldn't be fair for Kemper to keep these sorts of usable gems hidden or denied from us. After all it's US the users and buyers who drive this along as much as Kemper.

Thanks for the tips so far.
what I should probably add is that I use clean to mid-gain sounds. No metal or uber dirty stuff. Ideally with a few useable fx too, chorus, del, Rev

Ok, there is no substitute for a KPA but i'm looking for an all-in-one light-weight "decent" device that i can travel with. Ideally, "hand-bag" size.
I guess along the lines of (dare i say these names here?) a floor-pod, boss me80, etc. something that has built in foot-control but i can get a decent sound straight into the PA
I have bias/jamup on the ipad and its good but needs the external midi interface and foot-switch. I know we all love our KPAs and that is the purpose of these forums and I dont expect to find the awesome sounds that im used to but i am interested to hear others experience of something that may do as a short term solution in a compact form.
thanks

thanks, bigb6611, A pleasure to be able to give something back to this great little community.

Noticed the same thing too. Work around-
touch and hold "YouTube" badge and then choose "open in new tab". Then it works, so appears to be something is this forum disabling playback.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm still on v2.5 as there were a couple of unwanted issues with 2.7 when I tried it briefly. As a fix I just chopped off the first word of the rig profile "F--d-r ". I'm sure it'll all make sense to most RE users.

I've uploaded these profiles to the RE.
Search my username and look for nine rigs named "Deville xxx"

How time consuming and frustrating it was to relabel the tags!!!
hat was so annoying was that some tags keep defaulting to another' artist's username and that my KPA profile name (as stored on my KPA) gets the last several characters removed from the title.
I've commented on this in another thread-
Tag editing frustration
so any tips would be welcome

This has frustrated me for some time. Its not very often i upload rigs, probably because of this, but i find that some tags (notably "artist" for "amp" AND for "cab") keeps defaulting to someone else's user name.
I renamed these tags in the KPA and then through RM and had to (again) when i upload them to the RE. Yet when i go to edit these with the online "my rigs" it still defaults to this other artist/user's name.
Even when i've save them to the cloud and go in to edit (all online) these tags still revert back to this "other" artist name.
When i profile a new rig it starts with whatever the last used rig was and appears to carry over these tags.

Even more annoying is that the names i've given these profiles (as shown on my KPA screen) get truncated during the upload process. So where my profile is named "Fender Deville bright A" on my KPA its been shortened to "Fender Deville brigh" on the RE. Grrrr!!!

Clearly there is some tag embedded within a profile that is permanent. Perhaps some form of copyright control (which is good unless i dont have control over this with my own profiles)
I would suspect maybe my rig-manager might have issues, as this appears a common complaint, but renaming upon upload and even still this "other user's name" is etched into the profile.

Can anyone shed light on this?
thanks all

Thanks for all the comments- will upload asap.

the biggest annoyance is that whenever i profile an amp it starts with the last profile-accessed tags and text that goes with it.
Maybe what i should do is probably build a blank template to use before i go profiling?
Means i have to faff about re-labelling everything.

Can anyone tell me the quickest way to modify the tags, please? (in the KPA or upon upload?) I'm not aware of rig manager being able to amend this info.
thanks

I done a quick profiling session on a Fender Deville the other week. Here's a track i cobbled togther using those sounds. If there's enough interest i can upload these to the RE.
