Personally I prefer new features rather than this little issue being solved.
I agree, but my argument is that it is NOT solved.

A video always helps to understand what somebody is doing in detail.
Understand that I tap the cross up one tap it skips a performance. If I am on performance one and tap the cross up one tap it will go to performance three most of the time. I cannot fathom why a video would be needed to understand that. The video would show me tapping the cross up one tap and skipping from performance one to three, the same thing I just accurately explained. Does anybody really need a video to understand this?
On a note; I fired my Kemper up and tapped up on performance 1 and it jumped to three but after that it worked fine. Other times it will exhibit the skipping behavior about 60% of the time. It's sporadic. At first I thought it might have something to do with being plugged into rig manager /usb but I have not investigated that fully.
Strange thing is that I have never seen it skip if I use the down cross. That is what at first made me first consider that perhaps my up button was bad. I was relieved after contacting Kemper and being told that it was a known issue. The cross works fine for everything else it seems.
For those having issues, please get in touch with support by using the contact form on our website. It would be good to get a video that illustrates the issue.
I've already contacted support about this and they told me it was known issue. I don't understand why a video would be of help. It's not hard to understand that when you press the cross up it skips a performance.
Wow! Thanks for pointing me to these. I don't spend a lot of time on rig exchange, but this is most likely some of the best profiles I've heard from there . I love the JMP50 and other things he has on there. The cool stuff never stops, I spent the night pitting some up against some of my favorites, I'll see how I feel tomorrow when I play them back.....
On my list this is marked as fixed. Please check against OS 12.
I read that as well but it's not fixed as confirmed by members on here. I don't think it gets brought up frequently because like StefanErtle, It doesn't affect them that much. I usually don't have rig manager on and use all of the goodies that I have loaded, so it is a bit of a niggle for me. I have always guessed that it had to do with the way the unit scrolls on hold and was hopeful that it could be an easy fix by simply delaying the time when the unit starts to scroll, but what do I know.
Mine still does it with the latest operating system. When I communicated with the mothership a couple months ago I was told it was a known issue & so as far as I know it hasn't been resolved . Not a lot of people complain about it though so it probably doesn't affect everybody or a lot of people don't use the cross .
I know if you hold the buttons down it will start scrolling. Guessing the unit goes into scrolling mode so fast that it ends up jumping through a performance or two sometimes. I would think there would be a way to kick up the delay time before it starts scrolling and maybe that would fix it? I'm just guessing because if I find if I peck it real fast (like a128th note!), it seems to happen less but that could be a coincidence.
I wonder if this is ever going to be remedied it's not a big deal but it'd be nice to have it fixed. It's just so much quicker than using the type knob and pressing enter.
Rig Exchange. Everything I've tried from him has been extraordinary. Really really authentic.
I'm always looking over the fence sampling greener pastures to see if I can top my favorite profiles. So far nothing on rig exchange has ever done that. I'll check these out. Thanks!
You can search in rig manager or rig exchange for David G Burns.
The reason I asked if it was in rig manager or rig exchange is that I do not have my rig manager set to search for rig exchange things.
I was wondering if it was a rig pack in rig manager I missed, or if it was on the exchange.
Oh yeah. They are truly something special.
Are these on rig exchange or rig manager? I never heard of them.
Before I got a Kemper I saw big name touring pros using the head remote combo. When I saw what they could do and how easily it could do it I knew then and there that the remote wasn't an option, but a must (for me anyway) I spent over 30 years programming complicated midi things And I didn't want to have to mess around with all of that if I didn't have to. The remote is just plug and play with cool options.
Amp volume can be to level out different rigs. (see manual description) I have my tap tempo button set for morph so that every rig in the performance can be used as a boosted lead that raises rig volume. Hitting the same button again doesn't morph that way but puts everything back into the state it was. That way if I add a phaser, a chorus and a delay to the sound I don't have to tap dance on three buttons to get it back the way it was. When you sing lead and play lead guitar there is just no time for that monkey business.
For compact size, instant compatibility and all the extra features it contains without programming, "The" Remote is a must IMO. I've seen them occasionally pop up for around $300.
A common mistake with new Kemper users is to run a profile with cabinet engaged into a amp/cabinet then it causes confusion as to why it sounds so stuffy. With the cabinet off it should be OK to run into your effects return although that is going to color the sound differently than it was intended.
I believe it best to reproduce the Kemper as clearly and uncolored as possible. For me that means a powerful flat solid state amplifier and a high wattage speaker that doesn't add a lot of character.
I think you'll find one of the most surprising things about using the Kemper is how much speakers and different cabinets will alter the sound both direct and using external cabs. I've spent a lot of time trying to get my direct sound very close to the sound I hear coming out of my guitar cabinet.
See If the thread was closed, we'd be missing out on all of this great humor.
There is a small learning curve to getting it the way you want it. I started out using it just like I would any amp head through a speaker cabinet then moved on from there.
Since you are dealing with a mic and latency, there will be massive phase issues.
Yes I will agree doing this isn't necessary it's just fun to mess around with. Sometimes latency can create phasing issues and sometimes it can make things sound in a way that almost no other effect can create. You can really get some wild effects and tones by sweeping a loud single repeat delay from .5 millisecond on up. (comb filtering?) If I'm not mistaken, mic phasing and latency is what created the "money for nothing" tone, But I'm not going for anything like that.
When I hear lead tones like Queen "Somebody to love" I hear the kind of fatness and slightly hollow sound that I can get putting ultra short delays (or latency) into the sound. For sure it can wreck things but it can also make them very unique and give them a great room sound.
Wondering how many of you have ever experimented with mixing Kemper (inc. cab) with a "real" mic'd cabinet out ? The first time I tried this I pulled the microphone back as to make up for the latency with the Kemper and it turned out good, but I thought the Kemper sounded just as good without the live mic so I've never really messed with that much in the studio.
Tonight I tried it using an I5 real close to my Lynchback speaker so that it had negotiable "room sound" and mixing it with the Kemper head sounded absolutely amazing. There was just the right amount of latency between the two tracks that made it super big! If you haven't ever tried that, I'd suggest doing it once and then playing with the faders, you'll be amazed by the variation of tones that you can get! I ended up using mostly Kemper with about 70% "real" speaker on the track.
If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the Kemper over the live mic, but the sum of the two was greater than either of the individuals. I'm sure many of us know that mixing amps and latency can create some very interesting sounds, and this is a real easy quick way to play with this. The amount of variation you can get with this is fantastic for recording. Although the amp stays the same, changing the speaker output and time makes it sound like a completely different rig being recorded also!
Please please just a little longer!
