Just wanted to quickly update this thread. Just received the two WIDI Masters and have now successfully established 2-way midi communication between my FCB1010 and my KPA.

GOOODBYE CABLES!

Cheers!

Apparently it does!

Just found this user generated compatibility list via the CME website. According to what I found there, the FCB1010 is indeed capable of powering a WIDI Master

Here's the list in case anyone else might be interested:

Hey there Kim,

thanks for chiming in. Great to know that it would work on the Kemper side at least!

I'll have to see about the FCB1010 then. It would be amazing if it worked. I've often struggled with midi cables either being too short on big stages where the backline is indeed way back, or just carrying way long cables that often make small stages even more crammed and tabgled up...

cheers!

Hi everyone,

just wanted to ask the hive mind if anyone had any experience with this product or a similar one in conjunction with the Profiler:

https://www.thomann.de/intl/cme_widi_…UiOjJ9&reload=1

I was thinking this would be a great solution to conect my KPA remotely to my FCB1010 foot controller. However, the device seems to be powered via the Midi Out of the connected device and I'm not sure whether either of these devices supplies power over MIDI. Any experience here? Wouldn't seem to make much sense to get such a device otherwise...

Cheers!

Wups, didn't really expect to set off any alarms here Burkhard. I explicitly mentioned that it was a known issue with DIY pedals. Not knowing the OP's setup I linked to the thread so he could look for himself in case there was any relevant information for him there instead of having to go back and forth to troubleshoot...

As Burkhard mentions, the Profiler is in constant recalibration when an expression pedal is attached.

This has been found to be problematic with some DIY Expression Pedals with an included toe switch. This is due to the fact that when activating the switch, the exp range is extended, thus automatically setting a new max value for the profiler. This max value, however, will generally not be reached when moving the pedal as this is done below the "switch activation threshold" As a result, once the switch is activated, the max value of the pedal in toe position will not be reached.

Not convinced with kempers pedal calibration: FIX NEEDED?

Hope this helps!

Cool, uplifting track per!

Thank you for the recovery wishes DonPetersen !

Glad you enjoyed the tune

SFA = Super Furry Animals, go check them out. You might also love Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (pronounced monkey).

Oh wow, checked them out last night. Really glad I did. Some more cool music I didn't know yet., Thanks for that Per!

Apart from that, thank y'all for the positivity and recovery wishes. Much appreciated!

So chill!

Looks like covid is working for you.

My son got it last week and wears a mask full time at work. He had mild fever and was pretty tired for 3 days. My daughter got it one day later after being vaxxed and after getting the delta variant (last year) and being masked. She pretty much had the same mild symptoms as my son. I guess covid likes her.

Get well! Keep rockin!

Thanks for the good wishes! Fortunately it has been pretty mild apart from those initial 2 days which were somewhat uncomfortable (light headache and fever). Also got it despite being vaccinated, but I'm still thankful about the vaccine as it ensures the virus will not hit you very hard

Sounds great! Very catchy track and phenomenal production

This is exactly the kind of track I love to hear, SFA influences?

Thanks Per! Don't know SFA. Is that the name of the band? I'm curious now...

So, I’ve been in self isolation at home for over a week now. Trying to keep it together by making some new tunes. I also tried my luck at shooting and editing a short video from my confinement space. I’m thus dubbing it “Claustrophobic Bedroom Rock”. Recorded, as always, using my faithful KPA. Hope you guys enjoy the vibe

+1+1+1+1+1+!

I'm just getting started recording with my Kemper, so sorry if the question is... well, dumb. Thing is I just noticed that the waveform looks really compressed which seems a bit odd. Signal chain guitar>Kemper (with TopJimi Marshall profile)>main out>soundcard>daw. I was wondering if this is normal or if I'm doing something wrong. Top track is guitar straight into daw (Guitar Rig plugin). Bottom is Kemper. Grateful for any input!

As the others said, this is perfectly normal. The waveform would look pretty much the same with a miked amp with similar settings. Try doing the same comparison with a clean profile and you'll see that it resembles the DI signal much more

Glad you sorted it out!

I made sure I used (non/TRS cables

Yup, TS connection from the KPA OUT to an instrument input at your interface is the way to go. If you need a balanced signal, just hook up the XLR ouputs

Quote from rsherhuth

I use the rear master outs (1/4") Output source is set to Master out...I tried the others as well.

What are studio profiles? I use Michael Britts profiles most of the time.

Just to make sure: Make sure you are using TS (i.e. unbalanced) connectors/ cables if you are using the 1/4" outputs. I used to assume they were balanced and had a similar experience with thin sound coming from a PA after connecting them via Line In inputs. Luckily, I had already been working with my KPA for such a long time, that I was pretty sure it had to be a cable issue...

Hope this helps!

Hey there Pre-Amp,

Some years ago I built a pretty complex Ableton routing setup to do just that; that is , to be able to Loop in "3D" rather than just stack things up.

Since the introduction of the panorama feature it is possible to do something quite similar, although, to be honest, the KPA looper is very, very basic.

If you want to be able to control the soundcape more precisely that be using an exp pedal with morphing, go ahead and do the following:

- create a performance for each instrument you plan on using for looping.

- create a basic path for that instrument

- copy paste that patch into all 5 slots

- give each of them a specific panorama setting (in my case I put the performance nr 3 dead center and arrange 1 &2 and then 4&5 spatially to the left/far left and to the right/far right of the center patch. This makes it easier to orient yourself when looping

- an additional and quite useful settting in this setup is the lock function. If you lock the effect sections, your FX will not change when "moving" around your loops. It does, however, force you to choose a limited/fixed amount of FX

Hope this helps

Cheers!

Fantastic, thx for the heads up!

nice thread! Ingolf, do you know if the pedal works with alternate tunings such as drop D or standard tuning in other keys?

cheers!
