….and one effing sentence comprised of 19 words and people see fit to turn on them. Without so much as considering they could be misinterpreting.

So you think this is the only thread that anyone objects to? You're not paying attention. Even YouTuber reviewers have made complaints about Kemper support ignoring their issues. Ghosting them is what they called it. it's been going on for a while. See also; Documentation Request . That was an issue that took me over a year to get resolved because support claimed there was "no issue".

I like his Trace Elliot profile named TRAZE E- EQ 1 - 2019-05-23 19-34-27.kipr for bass.

Well…..bothered some that chose to say something.

Its fantasy to think these are the first to dislike what Kemper have said here.

What's yer point? That it's a good thing to bother people? I disagree, it's bad for business.

Whether you consider it rude, arrogant, lazy or none of the above, it has obviously bothered some users and that is not a good thing for Kemper.

Quote from Kellerblues

This is just perception. I speak German fluently and I know the culture (I'm married in it). There is absolutely nothing wrong or bad meant in what GString wrote, if you know and understand the direct "German way". But I've been working long enough for American Corporations (21 years) to understand where you're coming from. This is just a colossal misunderstanding, believe me.

I married my 1st wife in Germany and worked for a German company in Viernheim Germany as a CNC programmer for 3 years and I agree with all you wrote. Germans often speak directly and that can be misunderstood by non Germans. I am not offended by GStrings words but still don't agree with his rationale.

My only reason for joining this forum was to learn more about Kemper and to keep informed about changes to the equipment I invested in. I refuse all betas these days, have sold my stage unit and because of constant changes have waning interest in my rack unit. If I sold it tomorrow I really wouldn't miss it, I still have 10 of the 11 amps I started with and since I'm to old to play out anymore really don't need a Kemper.

This thread is way off topic but it made me wonder...

What is the purpose of a Beta Test if not to test the changes made and how can that be accomplished if the beta tester is not informed about the change that was made?

probably one of the "minor housekeeping improvements' in ver. 12.0,8... LOL

Nope, I just checked and the behavior described in the OP is also present in 12.0.6. and RM 3.8.6. So is the problem in RM or what? IMO Rename Rig should not be available in the context of FX presets. I would never think to do that but obviously someone did.

probably one of the "minor housekeeping improvements' in ver. 12.0,8... LOL

Most companies that make improvements to their product would be eager to advertise said improvement. just sayin' ...

I refuse all Kemper betas since the one I did install that crashed my rack out (about 2 years ago).

My question was rhetorical; I do not expect a definitive answer. I also didn't expect speculation about my personal use of the software but in hindsight, I probably should have.

Then why roll out another beta test 2 days after the last beta test instead of waiting for the public release?

Quote from G String

That's a measure to preserve calculating power, among other things. Honestly, I don't think you need to see the note constantly unless you really don't know what you're doing

I use my Kemper for guitar, guitars with alternate tunings, bass, banjo, mandolin, mandola, dobro, D10 Mullen pedal steel guitar (E9 and C6 tunings with 9 pedals and 8 knee levers), fiddle and cello. I've been playing for 60 years I think I know what I'm doing. Whatever I'm playing gets tuned before I start and stays in tune. Besides that I can hear when a string is out of tune and fix it without a tuner. If an instrument will not stay in tune, it gets sold or gifted to someone else. I use a Korg Pitch Black rack mount tuner when recording.

Did you restart the Stage and Rig Manager?

Did you update the Profiler OS to 12.0.6?

Put one of these between the guitar and the Kemper....

The tuner looks and works great. The only drawback is that the only way I could find to activate it was to press the physical tuner button on my Stage. Is there a way to activate it from the Rig Manager interface?

From the RM menu select Profiler then click "Show Tuner" or use Ctrl-T.

The problem is unless the the profiler is in tuner mode the note name is not displayed. (I'm using the Rack model). I am NOT impressed, but it's a start for those who wanted a tuner in RM. This new feature is something I will not be using so no big deal.

I just downloaded 200 free profiles for bass yesterday from a Dropbox account setup in 2015.

Do a back up of Rig Manager and the Profiler and store it in a Dropbox account. Personally I would just use a USB stick and not be dependent on internet access.

Good luck with that. I appears most of it’s deficiencies are fixable, but a thick uncomfortable neck would be a permanent problem that would keep me from letting it take up valuable storage space. Still, it’s amazing what you can get for under $200 these days.

I'm pretty sure it will never be one of my favorites but will be a nice gift for someone with bigger hands.

I bought another cheap guitar this week. I got my IYV IRK-300 last Thursday (2 days ago) and so far my only complaint is about the bridge design. The height adjustment screws are about 3 times longer than they need to be and the Phillips screw heads were in-between the bridge and the bridge pick up making it impossible to adjust the intonation. I had to disassemble the bridge and turn it around to gain access for adjustment. I also had to move all 6 bridge posts and reverse the order because the slots are different sizes and would not fit the strings on the bass end. The tuners have too much backlash and may be replaced later after I see if I can get used to the thick neck and depending on what kind of tone I get from the pickups. So far, not a bad deal for $165

Sounds like a hardware issue. For recording you may be able to balance the two sides in the DAW, depending on which DAW you use and what it allows and how the tracks are routed. For example I normally route the left & right channels into a single stereo track but I have routed to two mono tracks and increased the gain on the weak channel. Still, if it's a hardware issue, the hardware will still need to be repaired. Good luck!

Out of curiosity, how old is the head?
