I made another profile today and and learned a couple of things.

Before I started I changed a setting in Windows, I had set the theme to High Contrast Black and turned that off and that fixed the typing issue. Rig Manager is not able to handle that theme, (some programs can and some can't).

After that I re-profiled the same amp I did yesterday but this time RM was not running and I did it all from the Rack unit. Everything went fine and the Kemper picked up my name as the Amp Author. So, I would say the profiling assistant in RM has a problem reading that info from the Rack unit.

To clarify, I am using RM 3.5.27 and Kemper OS 10.2.3.53270 on a Windows 10 system w/ all recent updates.

I have a Rack and used to have a Stage, I've been using Kempers for about 2 years. i have edited the Owner name on both units long ago. I guess I just have to assume RM is still a work in progress.

I've made some good profiles of my amps (6 so far) but I wouldn't share them on Rig Exchange only because the tag info is incorrect. I may try to do a profile again tomorrow and see if I can input the correct data directly on the Rack unit.

Quote from Yoda Guitar

There is a significant difference between the Rick Author and the Profile Author. The Rick Author can be changed later, the Profile Author cannot. This is set automatically by the data in the system settings when creating a profile, see system settings page 298 in the manual. This is for copyright reasons, otherwise anyone could buy profiles, rename the author and resell it as their own.

By "Rick Author" I will assume you mean Rig Author. Page 298 of which manual? There are many, I have the English manuals from ver 8 something to the newest ver 11 and still can't see any relevant info on page 298.

I just profiled this amp, how is that RM assumes that the Amp Author could possibly be anyone else?

I'm still frustrated by the fact that the text disappears while editing until the return key is pressed.

What's up with Rig Manager and editing tags? I can't edit the Author tag on a new profile and the tags that can be edited can't be seen while typing the new text. This is, IN MY OPINION, really lame.

I've only profiled 5 of my amps and never had this problem except on my first profile where I did not edit the name first and saved a profile with the same name as the profile I had loaded but I could tell the difference between the new and old profiles profiles by the date. I ended up with 2 profiles with the same name but different dates. The original profile was never overwritten. I'm not sure from what you have written what it is you are doing. Maybe you could video your process and we might see where the error, if any, is.

Edit the name, author and other tags before saving the new profile.

The Windows or Mac Versions of Rig Manager display the OS version in the title bar for the Rack and Stage models. I'm not sure about the Player as I do not have one.

Profiling twice and comparing the two was what I thought too at first, then I changed my mind thinking the send1 output of the Kemper is line level and should be profiled using the active input because the higher signal might distort in the Passive input.

I just bought an old SWR Bass 350 amp, it has 2 inputs, one for active pickups and one for passive pickups. Which one should be used for profiling this amp head?

The Tonex One does not capture/model/profile anything. That is done elsewhere with different hardware/software.

From the link in the OP

"TONEX ONE puts IK’s revolutionary AI Machine Modeling technology on any size pedalboard, enabling you to perform with the world’s most sought-after tones in more ways than ever before. It truly makes unlimited tone accessible to all.

Ultra-compact and powerful, TONEX ONE stores up to 20 hyper-realistic modeled amps, cabs and stomps from a nearly infinite supply, so you can add it anywhere in your rig. You can even load models of your own gear captured with the included TONEX software. Effortlessly fit multiple units on your board for truly limitless tone possibilities. "

I'm sure if could profile they would have said so ...

What version of Rig Manager is offered in the update notification window. You can see from the attached screenshot that I have V3.5.15 installed; the notification indicates only 3.5.

I don't own a Kemper Player and do not need support for one. What other reason might there be to update RM for the Rack Unit?

First of all,

I love my Kemper But!

I have to turn the Bass, Mid, and Treb just to see them on the power Rack and that sucks! I wish for these models they displayed all the time!

To me this is like needing a thermometer to tell if your cold or hot. If you want to improve your tone, develop your ears not your sight.

I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish (your post makes no sense to me), but outputs do NOT connect to outputs. Kemper outputs would connect to audio interface inputs and interface outputs would connect to speaker inputs.

I added a link to the post above that explains how to do it.

. I have searched everywhere with no luck. I have seen plenty with the problem but no fixes.

It may have worked well with your old laptop but just can't handle Windows 11 (yet).

Yes the Kemper can be used as a USB audio interface. The Head and Rack are 2in/2out, the Stage model is 4in/4out.

Have you tried using the Kemper USB instead of the Zoom? I have used a few Zoom products and find them very unreliable, none have lasted more than a year. I would try the Kemper USB and if that fixes your problem and you would rather use an interface, replace the zoom with something else. Please don't take this the wrong way but the Zoom is cheap for a reason.

Which Kemper output are you sending to the amp? Any line level signal into the amp will be too hot.

Don't use a profile that starts out with such a low level that it has to be maxed out and still can't be loud enough.

I ran a Stage and a Rack from RM until I sold the Stage. Pretty sure RM would handle more but the trick is to keep the Profilers named differently and paying close attention to which one you're using for preview otherwise you could load the profile into the wrong machine.
