I have described it here: Kemper Transpose vs Digitech the Drop problem

There was no solution so far. I just keep using the Drop pedal.

I have not used the transpose function for a while. When I engage it I continue to hear an "artifact" of the tonic note. It is not vibration or the string. It is clearly in the headphones and of course with a 1/2 step detune sounds horrible. I see this has been discussed already, but I can not find a solution. The "turn it up until you can't hear it" does not sound like the correct solution. Any other experiences with this?

I don;t think the Smooth Chords option is available on the rig transpose. You have to instantiate it in a Stomp slot.

I mean the stomp version. I have it loaded in the B slot.

Use the Stomp version of transpose and look for the check box "smooth chords".

The behavior of the Stomp version is the same for me.

Alright, I see... Thank you for your responses.

Not that it is there all the time, I only hear it when I use very light touch, or let a chord fade away, then it starts wobbling. It is not that apparent in a mix with other instruments, but there are some quiet acoustic parts when it matters. I use -2 and -5 mostly.

Cheers.

Am I the only one having this problem? ...or am I missing something?

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way to fix artifacts in Kemper's Transpose as I wanted to get rid of the Drop pedal that I have to carry around all the time to give me additional range up to -5.

I recorded a short audio file where the problem can be clearly heard. In the file I am alternating between Transpose, clean, and the Drop. The transpose function appears to be having difficulties doing its job in certain conditions. This applies both to the effect used in a slot and the rig setting. Apparently, the Drop does not have the same issue, but, well... another thing to carry around with more wires is just meh.

Note: there is no unaltered signal bleed that mix with transposed signal, I checked that, and I am aware of the effect if strings are heard along with the transpose effect. Using the latest (non-beta) Kemper OS.

Perhaps this little replaceable board which can be found inside is the key? CPU, memory and flash it seems.
