Lag/Latency with "Transpose" in Rig - Profiler Stage - 8.0.2.22186

Digital capo effects like the Transpose are causing a bit of latency. There is no technical way avoiding that completely. This has nothing to do with Rig Manager.

Stuff like the 'Smooth Chords' functionality feel like it adds extra lag to those kind of effects. Perhaps it's enabled for you?

Thanks for the reply.

What i wanted to say; If there was always a latency when transposing the tone, it got definetly worse with the latest firmware update.

We didn't touch anything related to it since quite a while.

No - no "smooth Chords" enabeld.
I use the transpose "casualy" (when i´m to lazy to pull out a guitar with a different tuning). So it´s not a drama by any means.
I never noticed a latency before. Just since i´ve made the latest update.

But anyway - thank you!

Hi RichPich,

I have always noticed it. Like you, I use it when I am too lazy to grab another guitar. The latency with it does bother me. .... enough that I never do it live, only at home for practice. I am sure others use it live successfully.

I get roughly the same effect if I practice through my PA speakers pointed at me from across the room (~20 ft). That messes with me too ;). The thumb rule is 1 mSec per foot, so at 20 feet the latency is about 20 mSec. I am guessing that this is about the delay Kemper Transpose has. I could measure it for more accuracy, but my ear says around 20mSec.
