  • Rigmanager wifi connect for Windows needed

    Quote from Machine Bohemian

    Thanks for the confirmation.

    Doh! I've just bought a POE switch thinking I could use my remote and access Windows rig manager over ethernet. Well at least I can use Android rig manager and remote and hope that kemper will expand its functionality, so the POE's not a dead loss.

    Strange choice by Kemper not to offer that to we lowly Windows users, especially as I have the rack version which is in my studio rack and not easilly accesible.

    Workaround: Ive ordered a D type usb pass through connector and have moved the rack strip with the D type network pass through connector, as used by remote users who dont want to break the poorly designed network connection on the back, so I can unplug and swap usb cables easilly.

    Poor show Kemper.

    You have to remember that Rig Manager came after the Kemper was born, so it is a work in progress. I have seen it mentioned by the Mods here that it is on the radar, but other features have taken precedence. Hopefully they will incorporate it someday.,

  • Rig Manager on Linux

    Quote from Yoda Guitar

    Time passes, and everything gets newer and more fancy. I use Windows and Unix/Linux professionally. But in recent years, Windows has increasingly degenerated into an advertising platform. The average useful life of a Windows computer is five years. Apple systems last about seven to eight years. A system manufacturer who recommends its customers to enter cryptic code sequences into the system registry automatically disqualifies itself.

    Oh, I totally agree... In fact, this new version of Windows is pushing the limits of what I really like to deal with. I still use Rocksmith 2014 and a few other Windows-based apps that I am hanging on to for now. That said, I will probably go back to Mac for my next box, but I got a really good deal on a Predator Helios 18 with a 4080 GPU. That will be my rig for the time being and if Windows continues to decline, I will push Linux on it.

    Quote from Yoda Guitar

    did you try open core legacy patcher for the old mac? i use my old 2013 mac running os ventura and it works ok.

    I did, but there are other applications that I use that are no longer being supported. It has become a bigger pain to use sadly. That said, I am still on the fence of getting a new one and going back. I don't mind windows, but mac integration is so much better.

  • Rig Manager on Linux

    Quote from treywillis

    Man I'm bummed to hear this. I've really been wanting to switch to Linux, but it seems like it's going to be a huge pain with as much music, video, etc stuff I do. I guess I'll just have to run two machines. Mac setup for the creative stuff, Linux for my other stuff.

    Yeah, well, sadly, my old Mac just went to the obsolete pile, and I am back on my old MSI Gaming rig running Win 11. I do love Mac, but my wallet has a hard time with it.

  • How do I get Profiles I just bought into Rig Manager so I can use them?

    Quote from Jimbozcrazy

    This is super frustrating, it shouldn't be this hard. Once you learn it you're like a Kemper wizard, but I have not learned it. I really wish someone could use simple Put> The> File> Here> Instructions so that stupid people like me could figure this out without 6 hours of scouring the internet. Freaking Kemper engineers could have thought of this too and maybe put it in the manual.

    Not sure why you dug up a thread from 2017; do you have a question? To get profiles in, all you do is drag and drop into the application, it isn't hard at all.

  • Frustrated with Kemper response to non working unit

    Quote from guitarman967

    Maybe you're not a douche, but you're certainly not following along very good.
    All I can say is read it again, I already did tech support with Jay from Kemper. That dates back to the beginning of June. That was all ancient history at the point of me making this post and they couldn't sort out the issue and then disappeared on my case. Why would I go back to start and rehash the same process here online when that process was already completed? I've had a New unit not functioning properly for close to a month at the point of making this post and no contact from Kemper after several emails. I had no recourse other than to reach out here, no one would respond to emails and I'm still having the same issue currently!

    I actually did read and re-read the thread here. You still haven't answered GStrings question from above, so I stand by my comment. I get your frustrations, but when someone new tries to help, it would be helpful if you rehashed the problem and then answered their questions. Good luck!

  • Frustrated with Kemper response to non working unit

    Not to be a douche, but you really have to answer the questions when they are asked to get support. They asked you several questions, including one in this thread, and you never answered them.

    1. The serial number...

    2. G String asked about the post effects, and you never answered.

    If you don't provide the information, they can't really help you out properly, and while he did say fix, that doesn't mean he was going to repair your Kemper; it may be a complete unit swap. Bottom line, you have to provide the information and keep the dialogue going. They can't read your mind.

    Kemper support has been one of the best I have dealt with to be honest. I can certainly point you to other companies that you would be lucky if they even responded.

  • Can we get this sound please? (Mxr Rockman x100)

    Quote from Ruefus

    The sound doesn’t give me a headache. But it *is* dated - it’s all over Def Leppard’s Hysteria not to mention Boston records.

    If that sound is the end result of what you’re looking for…ewe. Just another opinion.

    Just one of many that I look for. I have tried some of the other profiles that try to mimic it, but the modulation on it gets in the way when profiling and they never sound quiet right. I like having that tone for playing those great 80's songs and while it may be dated, it is still my youth.

    I also still get pedals from time to time and while the Kemper is an excellent tool, I still enjoy the analog side of things as well. Just another tool to add to the arsenal.

  • Updating to the whole Liquid Profile thing....

    Not really, but you have to upgrade Rig Manager when you upgrade the Kemper as I mentioned above. So, you potentially roll the dice that the Rig Manager upgrade will go okay without any issues just like the Kemper itself. My point was that you should backup both before you do any upgrades just to be safe. I especially recommend this if you are running beta.

    Like I said, I spent many hours organizing things and would hate to lose any of that and backups have already saved my butt. Just computing 101 that has been drilled into me over the years as an IT guy.

  • Updating to the whole Liquid Profile thing....

    Quote from pippopluto

    Why RM? Backing up from there will save its own configuration only

    Because when you upgrade the OS, you also need to upgrade Rig Manager. I have had a local upgrade fail install and not open properly losing all of the organization that I did, thankfully I had a backup. It can happen... So, back it up and restore it if it fails. You may never use it, but better to have it and not need it than the opposite.

    Quote from Ruefus

    It won’t.

    It will have zero affect on profiles you already have - or were made prior. Zero change of any kind.

    Only if you apply the liquid tone stack - and know the amp settings used when profiling will you get what was intended.

    It has zero affect on your profiles but 100% on your organization. Frankly I don't want to spend the day redoing all of that.
