Thanks for the replies. I have only just read them as I wasn't notified for some reason.

I have also been looking at this solution. I used the Behringer FCB1010 before purchasing the Kemper Remote, but sold it.

This is probably a very basic question, but I need some clarity on connecting midi devices please.

I am trying to use my Kemper remote to send midi messages to my MacBook so that I can control Apple MainStage. Can I use a cable such as this to connect midi out on the back of my Kemper to USB on my MacBook so that slot changes on the Profiler Remote can be set to send midi data? Also, will USB on my MacBook to midi in on the Kemper allow midi messages from my MacBook to change patches on my Kemper?

I have spent quite a bit of time researching, although I can't seem to find an answer to this basic question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi all

I am thinking of trying a few gigs using backing tracks. My set up will be Kemper into Universal Audio Apollo Duo into MacBook Pro running Apple MainStage.

I have been looking into midi foot controllers to start/stop tracks in MainStage and to maybe enable looping, etc. It then dawned on me that I might be able to use my Kemper Remote to do the job of controlling Mainstage. If I could use my Kemper Remote to start/stop backing tracks along with controlling other functions in MainStage (I am still learning how to use the program) and then MainStage patches changing profiles on my Kemper for different parts of songs, that would be awesome. Is this possible and if so has anybody done this?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, also with other areas I have been thinking about - a good MacBook Pro stand, issues to look out for, etc.

Thanks for the replies. I connected the Kemper to my old interface with two coaxial cables. I wasn't thinking as I have just realised the obvious - one is an in and one is an out. Doh! All has now become clear.

So one coaxial input to optical output? Does that mean that I can only record in mono?

I have recently purchased an Apollo Twin and I am looking at coaxial to optical converters. I found this as a recommendation on here, although do I need a twin input coaxial to optical converter? I live in the UK, so a recommendation on Amazon UK or somewhere local would be appreciated.

There are lots of products to choose from, although most of them do not seem exactly what I need.

Thanks everyone. Good to hear you like it!

Thanks @808illest!

Hi everyone.

I just uploaded another video to YouTube of me trying out various ideas over a backing track using my Kemper.

If anybody wants to watch the video, it is here - Backing Track Video.

I hope you enjoy it!

I have recently put together a separate pedal board for my acoustic rig, mainly for speed of setting up and to simplify things:

The Kemper does sound great with acoustics, but the phase inverter and notch filter on the Venue DI saves time when overcoming feedback problems at a gig. This really only proves that I need to spend more time learning more about my Kemper.

Haha, thanks @Monkey_Man!

Thanks @Eltzejupp!

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a 2017 American Elite Telecaster after playing it in my local shop and not being able to resist. This is my first tele and I am slowly getting used to it. I recorded myself noodling over a backing track today through my Kemper so thought I would post a link on here -

Just listened to the Bert Meulendijk acoustic samples and they sound good. I will have to make a purchase. Thanks again!

Thanks @philbrown. I will check them out. I meant to ask for acoustic profile recommendations too.

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks @DonPetersen. I figured the Studio EQ would be suggested so I will try your suggested solution. When you say 'profile that', do you mean create a profile from the previously created notch filter and/or Low Cut settings?

I have been using my Kemper through two DXR10s in my acoustic duo (with Taylor acoustic) and am generally happy with the sound using MBritt acoustic profiles. I do occasionally play at venues in which the room sound causes problems with feedback, boomy sounds, etc. Just wondering what other acoustic guitarist's experiences are with the Kemper and looking for a few tips that will help me and others reading this as I can't find too much relevant information.

Any thoughts on Kemper vs dedicated acoustic amp or preamp with effects that can be plugged into the PA?

Acoustic amps often have notch frequency or phase buttons to help with feedback. What Kemper settings are best to help with feedback and problem frequencies?

Delay, reverb or other effects setting tips?

Much of the information I have been reading or listening to online is focused on acoustic guitar in a band setting. I either play acoustic guitar in a duo (with vocalist) or solo so the sound is exposed. Players like Tommy Emmanuel use AER or similar amps so Google keeps throwing solutions onto my screen. Yesterday's temptation was the Trace Elliot Multipedal TRANSIT-A which looks like a great all in one solution. I don't tend to make adjustments to the Kemper whilst at a gig after one experience of it crashing when I did save some changes at the venue. Dedicated acoustic guitar amps or preamps would be easier to adjust on the fly so might be a better solution.

Any thoughts on the above points or other relevant ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear that there has been another breakage. Kemper were excellent in replacing my bag and KPA as it was damaged. They also sent me a DI box for the trouble which was a bonus. The first thing I did with the new bag was take off the shoulder strap! I have other pieces of equipment that I carry via shoulder strap whilst carrying the Kemper bag via the handles, so not a problem for me.

Thanks @Cederick!
