Hey all -
Just got a new interface for the home studio. It's the Roland Studio Capture. I tried connecting my Kemper to it via S/PDIF, but the interface always locks to 44.1 no matter what the output setting is on the Kemper. Is the Kemper stuck at 44.1?
I worked around it by creating an insert path / bus combo in Protools over analog, but I'd love to keep it all digital.
Is there a trick I'm missing?
(It's an unpowered Kemper rack)
Thanks All

S/PDIF @ 96k?

Is this a new KPA? Both SPDIF cables are connected?
If so the KPA may want to sync to your device as slave.
Try to set Roland to 96kHz.
Otherwise try to set Roland to sync from external source (Sync source not internal. ) .
-
EDIT: Yup. Both coax cables are connected.
I've had the Kemper for a couple of years- I'm actually not sure of the build date- and the roland always wants to be the slave unfortunately (it doesn't let me assign master/slave with the kemper plugged in) -
Try to disable all audio software first. Sometimes even internet browser can lock audio settings.
-
You need to set kemper to 96khz too.
-
GearJocke Yeah- I did - I had everything set to 96k- but the interface still 'snaps' back to 44.1.

INPUT15/16
If you’re using a coaxial cable to synchronize with another device and have connected
equipment to the INPUT 15 and 16 jacks, choose “ANALOG .” Otherwise choose “AUTO .”
For details, refer to “Connecting Two STUDIO-CAPTURE Units” (p . 46) or ”Synchronizing with
Another Digital Device” (p . 52)Try with analog .
Alsdo be aware of this :
QuoteThe sampling rate setting of the STUDIO-CAPTURE automatically changes to match
the rate of the audio data that is played, or the rate that your DAW software is set to
when recording .But you can also change the sampling rate of the STUDIO-CAPTURE manually . Click
[] of the SAMPLE RATE on the device panel, then select another sampling rate . In
this case, you may also need to change the sampling rate of the DAW software .* The sampling rate cannot be changed during playback or recording, or when
equipment is connected to the COAXIAL IN (15/16) jack .* When the sampling rate is switched, a small pop noise may be heard, but this does
not indicate a malfunction -
Thanks DamianGreda. Analog is how I'm going right now (I couldn't get it set up, and I had stuff to track )
And the studio capture IS changing it's sample rate automatically- to 44.1, no matter what I have it set to, and no matter what the kemper is set to. Always back to 44.1. I track at 96k (only for reduced latency) and wanted to keep it there.
Anyway...
For those curious, the routing is the same as if it was digital - I'm going out from 9 into the kemper, and then back into 15/16- just over analog. I can now patch in to channel 2 on the interface, record (and hear) through the kemper, but then print the kemper when I have the tone dialed in perfect / take comped the way I like it.
I just couldn't get the digital to work. -
Strange. It's not excactly a cheap interface. Have you concated their support? I have a SPL Crimson interface and I use spdif the whole time and can change to 96khz if I want without any problem. But anyway, you wont get a better sound with 96khz compared to 41.
-
Yeah- I track at 96k for latency reasons only. At the end of the day, everything gets popped down to 44.1/24 for streaming anyway.
I'll keep messing with it. -
mollydyer Try with these solutions:
QuoteWith the quad capture, you can't have listen to this device enabled in Windows.
Go to settings, sound settings, recording, 1-2 quad-capture, properties, listen (tab), uncheck the listen to this device. Done. You should freely be able to choose your sample rate at this point.QuoteIt sounds like Windows is using your interface as the main audio device, which is keeping you from changing sample rates and using it successfully with Pro Tools. You will need to go into Windows Playback Devices and tell Windows not to use the Quad Capture for audio.
After disabling the Quad Capture as a Windows Playback device, reboot the PC.
After the reboot, open Windows Control Panel and run the Quad Capture settings app. This is where you will want to set the sample rate. -
Thanks a mill for taking the time DamianGreda - I'm on a Mac. I'm in a session RN so I won't be able to play around again until after these tracks are finished. I set it up using the analog io for now.
But I *really* appreciate your suggestions. Very much.
