I can reproduce, that editing of input parameters Clean Sens, Distortion Sens, and Noise Gate don't trigger an "E" at the hardware. Consequently the Replace button in Rig Manager doesn't wake up. I reported this to our Engineering.

Clarify what those "Profiles" are. Are these Rigs? In that case these should have file extention ".krig" and a size of about 6 KB.

Rigs need to get imported into the All Rigs are in Rig Manager. You cannot import these into the All Presets nor All Performances areas.

Generally, items are building on each other in such a manual. If you just pick any piece of information skipping the context information and substitute this making your own assumtpions instead, you could be mislead.

The manual named Main Manual 14 is up to date with OS 14.
The parameter Stereo is common to many effects and therefore explained at the beginning of the Effects Section together with other common parameters in order to reduce redundencies. And this rationalization approach is also explained upfront.
The Pitch Delays are just a combination of pitch and delay effects explained earlier in this manual including their parameters.
At the very beginning the manual explains the signal chain, and that only the Fixed FX are specific to MK2 models. So the statements around DLY and REV modules are common to all models and series except Players, which have their own manual set.

We are considering other vehicles to share information. Not sure if these can deliver the right amount of context, and not more than needed for any specific user. It's at least not what I experience.

What do you gain if you could opt out of this safety behavior?

You could start with Volume Pedal at heel in Rig A. Then you load another Rig B with an active wah effect, so the pedal controls controls wah and not volume anymore. At that time volume stays at last position (heel = zero). And you have no pedal to raise it in Rig B. Is that a meaningful option?

I have the impression you don't like the behavor of the Volume Pedal as such, which is not specific to WahPedal to Volume. The Volume Pedal controller normally maintains its level during Rig changes. That is intended behavior and well known from analog volume pedals. We have no intend to change that. If you always want to load Rigs with the stored volume and just lower opportunistically, Morphing might be better suited for that.

So things have changed and updated over the last 6-7 years. Now Pedals, new features, things moved. Rig Enhancements. Rig Manager itself has had so many different updates. So I went through a pretty deep dive again through the manual. There are things missing, stuff I can see in rig manager that is no where in the manual. No surprise, the manual hasn't been updated since December. There are are settings on effects that are just undocumented or no explanation how the Kemper handles them or if there is, I can not find it. The other problem is you download a 199 page PDF and trying to go through it or find just what you need is difficult. It is not always clear what exactly applies to the Stage Version 1 or Stage Version 2. I am guessing it is the same between the Head Versions and the rack and then the player, at all different levels of subscription.

...

I'm really wondering which manual you are referring to, which has not been updated since December and has 199 pages!?

We are at OS 14 and there is a corresponding manual set 14 including Addendum and Main Manual in several languages, which has been published together with OS 14 early March. The English Main Manual has for example 417 pages.

You are not referring to the Quick Start manual, or are you?

Please give a concrete example for "settings of effects that are just undocumented". Perhaps I can direct you to the pages.

Regarding Stage MK1 and MK2 most items apply to both. If items just apply to MK2, the Main Manual indicates that like this:

• PROFILER MK 1 models don’t support any Fixed FX

Please provide a concrete example including page #, where something not clear if it applies to MK1, MK 2 or both.

If you assign the functions Slot 1- Slot 5 to built-in foot switches, subsequent hits of these switches trigger Morphing, if the global option Rig Button Morph is selected. You find that info in the Player's Main Manual. If you assign Rig Next/Rig Previous to built-in foot switches these can obviously not do the job. Alternatively, you could assign Morph to one of the foot switches (or combo functions) so that this becomes a dedicated Moph button.

No it doesn't. Under no circumstances the Volume Pedal controller decreases by its own.

There is only one possible scenario when it automatically increases moderately: If you have lowered Volume Pedal below 25% for example completely down to heel position and then activate a wah effect or load a Rig with an active wah effect, that moment WahPedal to Volume turns your exprssion pedal into a exclusive Wah Pedal. So you cannot control volume anymore, since you intend to control your wah effect now. Assuming, that it makes no sense to play wah at zero (or bery low) volume, the algorithm raises the volume pedal controller automatically to 25%, so that you at least hear something. Without that safety net you might not hear anything. That "safety net" behavior is intended. The same happens, if you have selected WahPedal to Pitch and WahPedal to Volume and activate a pedal pitch effect while volume is below 25%.

You can test and observe that behavior at page Pedal Links in System Settings including the soft catch avoiding any volume jumps, when the Wah Pedal takes over control over volume.

The function of its five Rig Buttons is explained in the Player's Main Manual.

Rig Buttons 1-5 (3)

Press to load one of the five Rigs within the current bank.

If you edit the current Rig – e.g. increase its gain or activate an effect – the color of its Bank Button changes from white to yellow.

To store the Rig, hold its Rig Button for a moment. The LEDs above the Rig Buttons will start blinking. Now, you can navigate to any bank using the BANK Button. Press the Rig Button at the intended location to overwrite it with your current Rig.

There are no limitations exchanging backups between Head and Rack unit. 100% compatible if units run the same OS version. I would test another USb stick.

Zu der Anforderung gibt es auch Hinweise und eine Illustration auf Seite 376 von Das Große Handbuch.

OS 14.1.2 release is the same build and identical to 14.1.2 public beta code-wise. Just a different tag. Please be specific.

Are you sending MIDI? CC07 or CC01 with WahPedal to Volume?

Is it about an expression pedal plugged into one of the pedal sockets? Configured as Volume Pedal? Or as WahPedal with WahPedal to Volume?

How are relevant parameters set: Volume Pedal Range, Wah Pedal Mode?

We have just elevated OS 14.1.2 to release level.

This PROFILER OS requires at least Rig Manager 4.1.20 for Windows(R)/macOS(R), 1.9.19 for iOS(R), and 1.9.36 for Android(R)/Fire OS(R).
Rig Manager 4 requires at least Windows(R) 10 (version 1703) or macOS(R) 10.14.
A dedicated Rig Manager installer for Windows(R) on ARM64 is available, too.

Please open a support ticket and report

which PROFILER OS are you using

which Rig Manager revision are you using on which platform (Windows, macOS)

are there any issues if USB is not connected

is any DAW software involved and what if you close that down?

you can try to download the RM 4.1.20 installer at the KEMPER download page and run it directly.

Yes, it is - in similar terms that we have been using here e.g. drag&drop.

Yeah my screen looks like yours. So what do you do to open and play?

If a Player is connected you cannot open and play it via double click like with any other PROFILER model since the Player has no Performance Mode.

You missed my second step: In a second step you can drag and drop these Performacnes one by one into a bank of your Player.

So open one Rig Manager window of All Performances/Local Library and another window with All Rigs/MyProfile. Then pick one Performance in the first in the Local Library and drag it over into the other window and drop it in one of the Player banks e.g. bank 4. A yellow frame will indicate the destination bank and you need to confirm, that you really want to overwrite all five Rigs within that bank with the Rigs from the Performance.

So in the end you don't have the Performances asuch in your Player but its five Rigs and able to play those.

I guess, you are using Rig Manager for Windows/macOS. That Rig Manager allows to import Performances into its Local Library amongst All Performances.

In a second step you can drag and drop these Perofrmacnes one by one into a bank of your Player.

The Wattage Meter on page Kemper Kone has a dedicated purpose related to the KEMPER Power Kabinet with KEMPER Kone chassis. Conseyuently, it only appears in such applications.

You need to navigate to the last page of Output Settings, which only appears if you own a PROFILER model with built-in power amp. How to deal with the wattage of the built-in power amp and how to interpret its Wattage Meter in relation to varying cabinet resistances are covered in the Main Manual chapter The Built-In Power Amplifier,. .

We have not seen that.

Perhaps something (e.g. an open cable) is plugged into one of the PEDAL sockets configured as Volume Pedal or configured as Wah Pedal while WahPedal to Volume is active while no active Wah effect is present. Or TRS cable or expression pedal itself are defective.

Make sure you test with OS 14.1.2.

These are the functions you can assign to the three built-in foot switches 1/2/3 of your Player and the combo switch functions 1+2 and 2+3. So you can select and assign five functions overall with just the three built-in switches..
