THis is pretty easy to do. If you use a desk top computer , you can download updates right from this site .The download goes to your computer , then you transfer the update from your computer to a memory stick or other portable USB compatible device .
YOu then insert the memory stick into the kemper and follow the on screen instructions.The Kemper will then complete the update on its own once you initiate it to happen.

Thanks for the help .

Thank you . I figure I can download them multiple ways then . But 44.1 200ms for use with cabmaker . Next step is to learn how to use cabmaker
I'll check the downloads section again for a PDF or tutorial .

I just downloaded cabmaker and am going ot buy some Celestion IR's . Not sure which sample rate I should download them in .They do offer "kemper" as an option. Thanks for your help .

I heard from a guitarist Chris Brooks that at checkout you use the code " WEEKEND" .The sale is the weekend only . By the way , I have a bunch of TAF profiles on my Kemper .Came with it or through the Rig Exchange .They're very good .Looking for some super clean studio stuff and also very saturated lead tones .

Thought I would spread the news and also ask what your experience has been with the amp factory profiles ?

I should have clarified .Direct sound not as full sounding as if I use the same Kemper patch into my speaker cabinet and then mic the cabinet . Just curious what other guys do . Never hurts to ask .

I'll admit that I have a lot more reading and experimenting to do . But for now , my direct recorded tone from my KPA isn't as full as what I get from my speaker cabinets . My direct sounds (with cabinet section active on my KPA ) sounds much more produced , not as thick and the treble is slightly thin too. Hearing what you guys do will speed up my learning .Thanks .

Not sure if it is in my head but my Kemper seems brighter and maybe slightly fizzy since the last update.But not really through my cabs .Just recording direct . .I'm trying to confirm that . What's your experience .

I haven't used a stop watch but to me , my Kemper boots up pretty much in the same amount of time as when it ran on version 4

Just updated last night and I see the new delays in the delay section .Pretty cool . With the update , there was a folder that had to be added in to get the new delays .Was anything in there besides the delay algorithms ?

CoolI didn't know that

The best thing to do is for me to ask the Kemper tech support to find out .When I have time , I will try recording direct to my interface with and without a speaker load on the Kemper and see if there is any difference .Either way, it is a solid state amp and having no speaker load shouldn't hurt it .

From one of the sales reps at Sweetwater Sound .I asked my sales rep about using the Kemper Power Rack without a load on it and he got that information from another sweetwater tech that he claims knows the products well. That's as much as I know .Maybe someone can confirm if this is the case or not .

Thanks for the links .By the way , I don't want all 7 thousand threads. Just new stuff that the average Joe might overlook . I just watched some of the new feature videos like morphing, pure cab,etc.

By the way, how many rigs can the Kemper hold maximum ?

Update .Just figured it out .The Kemper instructions make it seem like the Kemper does the formatting automatically . For anyone who is reading this because htye have the same question, the procedure is to insert your USB card into the Kemper and then you need to use one of the four buttons above the display to select "external storage" .After that , you get options for formatting ,updating or exporting .

Just bought my Kemper today. I have firmware 3.2.0 and want to update for the first time to 3.2.1 . I have a usb card that was formatted on my PC for saving folders from my old PC to my new one . Following Kemper's instructions, I inserted the USB card into my Kemper and nothing happens . Kemper says that the Profiler should see it and format it to fat32 at which point I can transfer the new firmware from the PC to the Kemper.

When I insert the empty USB drive into the Kemper , nothing happens . What do I have to do to make the Kemper format it ? Thanks

Regarding your first question , if you use the Power Rack and don't want to use the power section , you should still connect it to a speaker cabinet . The information I got when I asked this same question is that the Kemper Power Rack wont be damaged but having no speaker load will change the sound . The advice given to me for direct recording , where I don't need any cabinet sound is to connect a speaker cabinet and then set the power amp volume to zero.Hopefully, this is correct advice.

Hi guys
I just got a Kemper power rack from Sweetwater Sound . So far , this thing is very cool and the clean sounds are actually very good .The EQ is also very powerful and musical sounding . At the moment, my unit has 3.2.0 firmware (11524) . This unit was a demo model so I'm checking the forum on how to do a factory reset and if my firmware is up to date . Then I need to figure out how to download profiles and transfer them to my Kemper.

IF you guys can paste links to current threads that I missed , it would be great . in the mean time , I will keep reading .Thanks.
