  • Stage lost date and time

    Quote from G String

    In summary, the lifespan of a CR2032 lithium battery can vary significantly based on storage conditions, usage patterns, and manufacturing quality. By understanding these factors and adopting best practices for storage and use, consumers can maximize the lifespan of their CR2032 batteries. While the typical storage lifespan ranges from 5 to 10 years and the usage lifespan is around one year, these estimates can be influenced by various external factors. By taking proper care of your CR2032 battery, you can ensure it provides reliable power for your devices for an extended period.

    This is a summary. More details can be found on their website.

    As I said above.

    It's always the other gear. The problem cannot be a Kemper device. That's the policy of the company. :)

    Feel free to contact support to arrange for a hardware checkup. Also you could try another brand of replacement batteries. There can be huge differences.

    Since 2019 I tried 3 different brands of batteries. All are empty after about 1 year.
    Maybe all those batteries were bad or maybe, but only maybe, there is a problem with the Stage.
    It's not annoying buying batteries, it's annoying to release Stage off the Board, open the Stage, changing battery, closing Stage and mounting it agian on the board.

    So, instead of asking support for advice regarding your specific problem you open a thread asking others for their experience insisting „it’s the Stage“?

    This is not only weird but grossly counterproductive.

    Why counterproductive?
    If other users have similar experiences, maybe they found a way to change something inside the Stage
    that brings the Stage to the state of not killing every new battery within one year.
    The company itself would never admit that there is a technical problem inside the Stage or that the software
    has some problems that kill the battery.
    So maybe some other user found a way to "repair" the Stage.
    That's what I try to find out.

    If you’re so disgruntled and disappointed - while also thinking the company won’t help - why haven’t you moved on to something else?

    I know people that ended marriages in less time for similar reasons.

    Well, how can you know that I already use other gear beside the Kemper?
    If you can imagine or not, there is the possibility to use more than just a Kemper! ;)

    My first Stage is still running on its first battery.
    Why don’t you open a support ticket?

    Last time the stage lost date and time I did. As always I got the message that Kemper cannot fail and that the battery is the problem. That's what I realize since 2015. The company Kemper does not make any mistake. It's always the mistake of somebody else or something else.
    Same with the RigManger. Since 2015 this software again and again makes problems. But not for the company. For them RigManager always works without any problems.
    So thanks, no need for their support.

    CR 2032 batteries ... there are a lot of places selling poor quality ones. I have a keyboard made in the 90s and the original battery still works. One of my KPA is from 2019 and that also still works. Having said that it might be nice to have the option to use a somewhat more robust battery. But anyway I've had trouble with this kind of battery in garage door openers, auto remotes, etc. Make sure you find a good reputable source because there are batteries out there that are total crap. Drug stores are the worst. I buy mine from a local RC shop.

    My Kemper Head is from 2015. It still works with the same battery that was inside when I bought the device new!

    Different with the Stage. The system "Stage" has problems with "batteries". You can find lot of posts about that here in the forum! So my stage is not the only one having problems with the batteries.

    => It's not the battery, it's the Stage.

  • How to get a Performance from USB-Stick to Profiler Stage

    Quote from Burkhard

    You can only import Rig or preset files via USB stick into the browse pool, since this is an open pool of data. Rigs and presets are just added and nothing gets overwritten or pushed out. So the import is easy.

    In Performance Mode each Performance assumes a fixed position e.g. 17. So when you intend to import one or multiple Performances you need to make conscious decisions, where to place each of those and consequently what to overwrite. Such transactions would be cumbersome at the hardware.

    It's the same reason why you cannot import Rigs into the Player via USB memory stick, since it has a fixed Bank and Slot structure comparable to Performance Mode of the larger models.

    I suggest to give Rig Manager a try. All Player users shaping their Rig content are dealing with it.

    Thanks for the answer.

  • Zwei Gitarren an den Kemper Stage anschließen

    TotoTe

    Habe gerade auch Probleme beim zitieren.

    Deshalb so:

    Dann stimme ich meinem Vorredner zu, die E-Gitarre einfach weiter zu nutzen und eine Acoustic-Simulation zu nutzen. Ich mache das live auch. Vorallem in der Cover-Band, mit Liedern wie "Like the way I do", "Shallow", "Angels",..., funktioniert das echt gut. Ist vielleicht nicht 100%, aber dafür sparts den Instrumentenwechsel und zusätzliche Verkabelung.
