Display MoreHi All,
After a mission figuring out how to get the KPA going with the behringer fcb1010, I finally managed to get it working (Latest uno chip installed). One thing however I am noticing, is lag whenever I change channels.
Should this be happening>? Its significant enough that I have to time my channel changes about half a second before I want the channel to actually change.
If someone could shed some light on this I would be very grateful!
Thanks !

I have this problem to...
Its a real problem when playing live...
I hope there is a fix otherwise i cant use it live anymore.....
Check that the FCB is sending nothing else when you press the switch otherwise it will send the messages one after the other. I'm using a 15 years old Roland FC-100 and I have no delay at all, I can strike the chord while pressing the switch.
My Roland FC300 is immediate also. Hook your pedal to a MIDI input in a computer and run MidiOx software (free) to see what it is sending and if the lag is from the FCB1010. I use 2 stock FCB's live and there no delay trigger a DMX lighting console and rack based vocal effects.
The problem is most likely in the FCB's sending a chain of commands. MidiOx will tell the story.

There might be a correlation with the number of rigs as well. I had over 900 and my Voodoo GCP had a little lag. I'm down aroud 480 ish and it swithces right over. Just an additional variable to check on.
Its a new kemper, just have stock rigs as yet, so it shouldnt be the KPA. Will try the midiox solution and get back to you.
Thanks.
if your looking for an easy way to switch between the rigs
I'm also experiencing delay when switching. I am using a Tech21 MIDI Moose and it's really annoying because I can't switch and hit an accord or it will be clean at first (when switching to hi-gain for example) and hitting it prior is a matter of luck because sometimes it's too late and othertimes it switches too early. Can't really use it live that way...
I have a lot less then 500 rigs, more like 250.
I have the FCb1010 (stock, no mods) and I have the same problem 
a 0,5s lag when switching presets which makes it very hard to use live.
I dont have any midi input in my computer so I cant check it via midiox. Do You have any other advices?
Thanks!

Yeah, I have those lags too using a DIY midi board that switches the Axe2 immediately. I don't switch rigs in a song, but it still sucks.
My rig switch with the FCB happens instantly, without any lag.
What can we do to scrutinize this?

Mine as well, with the Roland FC-100 before and the MC7 now. I'm really scratching my head on this one...... 
My FCB works fine as well, no lag! Modified with UNO chip.

Yesterday I plugged in a new foot controller a custom Zahar Teardrop (very simple, with 4 presets, up/down). I programmed it without any CC, I used only the PC and still - there was the delay...
So i'm thinking, that there are foru options:
1) There are too many presets on my KPA (~500)
2) midi cable is a budget one, maye try a new "more expensive" one?
3) both, FCB1010 and Teardrop are not made to be with KPA
4) it's KPA fault
What do You think?
Cheers

Have you tried setting both to a single midi channel instead of Omni?

I havent thought of it. Got to try it, thanks.
Just a side note: when you start the unit, the first 2/3 times you switch it is effectively slower (like something is going on in the background) but then is instant.
Switching from OMNI to 1 didnt help ;/
I'm deleting presets right now...
Any news on the lag? Tried everything so far but nothing helped.
Hi.
When I did have over 1000 rigs there was that delay when switching rigs with FCB -now I have about 160 rigs and no delay at all.
