It seems like all my existing presets have way too much reverb on them now, and without the front knobs it sucks to adjust on the fly. Just noticed my lock buttons not working either.

Too many issues for me, I played around for a couple hours and it was fun while it lasted, but I'm out. Restoring my back up now.

My dumb arse didn't make a backup before I upgraded.

Kemper is testing a new 5.7.0 which they are planning on releasing soon. Hopefully it will fix some of these issues. Awesome job by Kemper support, addressing this and getting back to me VERY quickly, on the weekend.

Thank you for the heads-up, Patrick.

Good stuff, and well-done, Kemper team.

As always i’m going to hold off updating untill the version is the final release.

I rely on my kpa for gigging so i can’t be too careful.

But i’d like to thank everybody who does beta versions. Thanks to you the kpa team can build on your experiences and everybody benefits.

I echo the sentiment, Kim. Don't do betas here either, but I really appreciate the feedback the team gets from those who do.

Thank you, guys!

EDIT:

Had two windows open from separate notifications, so Kim's and Patrick's posts appeared to be in different threads. After responding I realised this, so sorry I'm not able to consolidate the responses into one post as I always do (I'm allergic to "cheap" posting!).

Bugs..big ones..

Obviously the pressure to deliver something for this NAMM is huge.

I would say:Let's calm down with the pressure on @CK and his folks.They are working on it.And it will be ready when it's ready.Which is obviously not yet.

PS

Tomorrow I will order my second KPA..

Changed thread title to reflect beta-update version.

Added Burkhard's update notes to the OP.

Fair play to the Kemper team for the weekend work, looking (and sounding) good at this end, reverb button works again, reverb knobs work again, and mod knobs work when a reverb is loaded into the mod slot.

drbill · January 20, 2019 at 7:55 PM

Used the beta this morning; no issues (I never turn the reverb off!). Sounded great.

Hi, does somebody know how i could add the freeze function on the reverb to a non-kemper midi pedal switch..i.e. the midi number?

patrick2099 · January 20, 2019 at 9:11 PM

I had to restart the Kemper and Rig Manager, to get the patch working, but I think that the bugs I notice have all been fixed. Thanks again for the hard work, over the weekend, Kemper support!

"Freeze is MIDI control change # 35. Any value toggles. It affects both delay and reverb effects."

(Quoted from Burkhard in another thread)

CC35 Previously listed as delay hold on/off

Hi! I am unable to download the new beta for rig manager. I'm using a macintosh. I have selected both boxes for updates and allow beta in preferences. Then tried check for updates. I have restarted the computer. Quit the rm. Tried it with both the toaster on and off.... The program responds software is up to date...I'm using 2.1.61 What am I missing?

Thanks for the help! Dan

digbob · January 20, 2019 at 11:30 PM

you need to update RM to 2.1.71

then you can update the Kemper too

first RM then KPA

Kinucleor · January 20, 2019 at 11:33 PM

Rig manager wont let me update to 2.1.71....

Kinucleor · January 21, 2019 at 12:39 AM

I uninstalled (put the app in the trash) and downloaded/installed 2.1.61 from kemper downloads,,,still not allowing me to update...still says i have the current or most up to date software...hmmmm

digbob · January 21, 2019 at 12:41 AM

check with finder that you delete all former RM stuf from your Mac

dmatthews · January 21, 2019 at 1:21 AM

I bit the bullet.

Backed up both RM and KPA

Upgraded RM, then upgraded KPA.

Reloaded factory presets and we're good to go.

Easy peasy... now to play around.

All my performances stayed intact, no worries.
