how to CHECK if it is a STUDIO or a DIRECT PROFILE in the factory rigs?

semprecarvalho · January 10, 2016 at 1:36 AM

hello, guys,

is there any way to check if the current profile is a STUDIO or a MERGED profile? is there any way I can select only the direct profiles, in the browsing menu?

i´ve tested a lot of useless profiles and i´m strugling hard to find some real good amps

I would like to browse just into the merged profiles

another REALLY BAD thing is that my bandmate has a profile that is NO LONGER AVALIABLE NOWHERE... i´ll need to take it from his kemper.. and its such a nice one.. dahell kemper...

Appreciatte your support

At the moment there is no way of telling unless the person who made the profile added a comment or put a hint in the name, on rig manager try searching for merged. CK has hinted that a way to differentiate between them is in the works. In the end I bought some packs from Origin Audio as they do merged profiles, and found the PRS Archon and Bognor Ubershall packs really good for using with a cab at louder volumes, if hard rock/metal is your kind of thing.

Just check the file size : 4KBytes -> Sutdio profile, 6KByte -> merged profile

An indication would be easier but what I've done with my profiles is label them via folder and in the comment thus people are aware what is what

The size of a profile only indicates if it was done with a software version prior to 3.02. It does not help you to differentiate between studio and merged profiles.

So at least you can tell that profiles with 4 kB can't be merged ones.

You can... but it is a real shame that we have to hook up to rig manager and check profile sizes or the notes of a profile to determine if it is merged (if the author hasn't added 'merged' to the name), and not tell from the profiler itself.

The question is if the profiles made after 3.0 have any kind of tag inside *kipr file to indicate what type of are they...

Not that this helps, but I usually name my profiles with either an "MG" for merged or "DI" for direct in the actual profile name. If a profile doesn't have either of these, then it's a studio profile.
