Your BlackFlag profiles have become my favorite rigs.
I'm watching for everything you upload from now on because there is some serious mojo going on here! Thanks!

Clean is usually up 2 or 3 depending on which guitar I chose. Distortion stays at 0.

Easier management and I'd be willing to go down to a 128 limit. Especially if performance mode is around the corner.

With the ability to sort and group the rig collection by category we can actually know what we have.

Right now I have over 500 rigs and don't remember why I kept most of them...so it does me no good to have them all in a single group in the KPA all the time.
To have them grouped in a way that I can understand their relevance to my workflow or in a way that labels the way they initially gave me inspiration is much better even if they have to be transferred back and forth from a computer.

Quote from Ingolf

At the moment Wah and Whammy are controlled by the same pedal and on the midi side they share the same CC (#1).

Wow, I hope they at least free the midi numbers a little bit.

Simply allowing a choice of Pedal#1 or Pedal#2 on a per rig, per effect, basis would make so much sense. But if not that at least let there be a user definable map where we can assign midi CC#'s of our choice to the different controllable parameters on a global basis!
I can't be the only KPA user who doesn't use a volume pedal and for us non-volume pedal players the current configuration makes the KPA a one pedal machine!!

Try the rig "CK Rotary". It contains a profile of a real Leslie. The profile is virtually indistinguishable from the original.
That will make you even a better roaring organ!

Is the profile in the Stack? The label says "Default Stack" I'd like to select an amp but don't know if changing the Amp portion of the Stack will replace the Leslie characteristics in the CK Rotary rig or not.

...

I am not shure that it is possible to control more than one single effect at a time with the one expression pedal. You mean that you put a WahWah into slot A and a Pedal Pitch into slot B and then the expression pedal controls both of them at the same time? Should be worth a try. ...

I already had a Wah in stomp A, I put the pedal pitch effect in another slot and then the expression pedal in jack 1, that was already controlling the Wah, started controlling both the Wah and the pitch pedal. I wanted to let the expression pedal plugged into jack#2 control the pitch and pedal in jack#1 continue to control the Wah. I don't see how to do that. It looks like the expression pedal plugged into #2 can only control the Volume.

I didn't realize how limited the KPA is in this regard!
So am I correct in understanding that if I want to have a Wah pedal in a rig then I can't have a Pitch Pedal in the same rig unless I want he same pedal to control both effects? I'd have to have a switch to turn the Wah effect off instead of using the Stop and Bypass feature and another switch to turn the Pitch pedal on if I wanted to go from Wah to Pitch Pedal?!?
It seems the Kemper design team took a week off and let some mid level Microsoft Windows 98 designers write some code!

How about if I get a midi controller with expression pedal inputs? Can I leave the expression pedal plugged into Pedal 1 for my Wah and get the midi connected expression pedal to be assigned to the Pitch Pedal control all in the same rig with no need to turn effects on and off before going from one pedal to the other?

I want to have one expression pedal for Wah and the second for controlling different parameters depending on what rig I use. wah and pitch...wah and mod speed...etc etc

I have the wah on pedal one...no problem but on pedal two I can only have control volume.
also, when I assigned pedal pitch to a rig expression pedal 1 controlled both the wah and pitch at the same time.
How do you get expression pedal 1 to handle the Wah and expression pedal 2 to control other effects?

I've searched the web and the wikpa with no joy.
please help me out here
thanks

Page 3 of the Master controls has a checkbox that allows you to send "Monitor Cab Off". Push the button just above that check box so that the box is checked then simply leave the Cab button on in the Stack section...the Main output will have the Cab function and the Monitor wont.

3x jmp1 profiles (clean/breakup-crunch and lead) uploaded to rig exchange author joHNNY-1f , added a 1960 cab from another profile to add a bit of depth, i like them, please let me know what you think. its my first upload and i would like to contribute to the rig exchange.
thanks

I've been using them a lot today. They sound great and they really take to other cabinets too! the Greenback from a Reason Bambino profile off the exchange for one and really sounded good with almost any cab I tried which is kind of unusual from my experience anyway.

Can you make an almost clean one? Like half the gain as your clean/breakup profile with stronger mids by a touch...

For FRFR use I have the Main output in stereo to a Tascam M164-UF USB mixer...mixer main out to Behringer Truth 82031A studio monitors - sounds pretty good, nothing to rave about...the mixer also has a monitor feed out to an Ev SxA250 powered floor monitor, mono, - sounds more like a guitar cab than the studio monitors, still not great but usually use it instead of the studio monitors.
And the way I usually play is KPA Monitor output through a TC Electronics Flashback delay pedal (just to split the signal to stereo) into a Randall RT2/50 stereo tube power amp out to a pair of 1x12 guitar babs. Sounds really really good!

Waiting for my name to come up on the Atomic CLR list to try that. I think that might edge the tube power amp out of the number one spot. The Kemper has me thinking FRFR is a viable choice where the AxeFX II sent me back to the tube power amp/guitar cab to get a sound I liked. There is something really good happening in the KPA for me.

I have a problem:
I think the beta just erased most of my best saved rigs

I looked on the support tab at the Kemper site but I must be missing something...

Quote from lightbox

• You've made a backup.
• Make a copy of the backup file.
• Rename the backup file to mybackup.tar (The file suffix tar is the important part).
• If you have a corresponding file compression tool like WinRAR, you can now umcompress the backup file to a new folder.
• If you now open the new folder with the uncompressed backup, you should see lots of folders with one of them being "Rigs".
• Inside "Rigs" you will find all the rigs that have been saved with the backup.
• On Windows you should always see ALL rig files, even those with a leading decimal point. On other systems like Linux or Unix based OSX, files with a leading decimal point can be hidden. In case of leading decimal points in file names it's not a matter of what's behind the point but only a matter of "there's nothing in front of the decimal point".

Kemper decided (for good reason) to keep the rig filename convention to "name - date time.kipr". If they had it "date time - name.kipr" the decimal point issue couldn't arise. But it would be way more difficult to have your rigs sorted by actual name of course.

No luck. I tried two different compression utilities. In the Rigs folder, from inside Windows 8/compression utility, I still see 470 rigs and there should be around 520.

I had the name of the compression utility wrong that I had tried initially, it is Total Commander. This time I went ahead and actually extracted them after renaming the file as you suggested but the same result. I also used 7-Zip with the same results, no files with the decimal point at the beginning of the name. None of the 50+ files that I'm missing seem to be in the backup file. Note this back up was created using 1.6.1 OS.

Any other ideas? And thanks for helping!

Please log a ticket with support. Do you have an older backup?

I do have at least one older one but it wouldn't have the files that I need on it.
I'll do the ticket in a little while.

I'm wondering if the files might be on the USB but not visible. But if they were there it would have been the KPA that put them there in the first place so unless the new firmware is the reason they disappeared, AND File Commander ALSO wont see them....then they never were included in the creation of the backup to begin with.
I think the system sees anything after a decimal point as a file name suffix and that means the files had no name before a too long suffix.....
You would think the KPA wouldn't let me name them with a name it can't handle but who knows.

If they are there then maybe simply installing1.6 would allow them to reappear.....rename and update again..viola! But not likely.

Quote from guitarnet70

Check the view settings. Have you tried restoring the backup?

Edit: are you sorting by Favourites?

Are the View settings the button where you sort by author, my rigs, last imported, etc? (Sorry, not at KPA right now)
If so then yes I've tried that.
I have almost every rig as a favorite right now since there is no editor my method is to delete all non favorites every couple of weeks or so to keep the total down.

I never bothered to try to examine the contents of my backups before. I did open my last backup in File Commander after installing the backup to the KPA failed to bring back the missing rigs. They aren't there, or at least not visible.

So far I have updated to 1.7 beta, discovered rigs missing, checked all folders, 'favorites, my rigs, last imported', etc, then installed yesterday's back up, then opened yesterday's back up in FileCommander to see if the missing rigs were there.
When I installed yesterday's backup the same message about 'Enjoy your new firmware' message showed again....not sure that means it updated firmware a second time or not..

My spirit is crushed right now. I don't have the desire right now to start over.
I'm afraid the computer, and apparently the new firmware, doesn't like the decimal point at the beginning of the file name. The KPA let me name them that way but I guess it refuses to see them as a part of a back up or as part of the updating process.

I made a backup to the usb drive yesterday and installed the beta today.
Of the 500+ rigs that were on the KPA I had about 50 rigs, all of the ones I care about, sorted into three main groups. They were duplicates in a sense with the fine tuning to sound best with the type of amplification I was using them for.

.1 tube power amp with guitar cabs
.2 FRFR
.3 Headphones

they were renamed accordingly with a prefix of a decimal point and either the number 1,2 or 3.
So, for example, there could have been 3 rigs named "JTM-1" but the full name would have been: " .1 JTM-1" or ".2 JTM-1" or ".3 JTM-1"

Now, after the update to the beta OS there are no .1 or .2 or .3 rigs. And they don't exist in my back up either!!

Am I screwed by virtue of the decimal point/numeral prefix?

Quote from guitarnet70

I meant to lock it in "off" status....or did I misunderstood?

I think that is the problem. Locking the cab, either on, or off, also locks that particular cab so when you switch rigs you bring that particular locked cab driver with you....
If you could lock only the status of the Cab button without locking the cab itself would be usefull. That way you don't have to save each rig with the cab switch in the off position individually for the rigs you want to use for power amp in stereo from main outputs.

I think I'm going to start creating copies of my favorite power amp/guitar cab rigs to be dedicated stereo rigs. Right now, to keep track of things I put a prefix in the name of all my rigs: ".1" for my power amp/guitar cab rigs and a prefix of ".2" for my FRFR rigs.....so ".3" can be the power amp/guitar cab rigs in stereo...

the prefix keeps them grouped together in the menus.

Thanks for the clarification. This means I can switch my cabling and make full use of my stereo power amp and pair of cabs!
Is there a way to lock the cab button off without locking all rigs to a single cab?

Quote from DocLine6forum

Cab driver for the main out is stereo if you switch off the cab button in the stack.
For the monitor out it will only be mono either when you tick the cab off button or cause the cab button in the stack.
Te second/alternative monitor out will always be without cab driver.
The reason for this is processing power.

I thought I read somewhere that the cab driver can't be stereo and that cab driver was only present at the Monitor output jack.

Did they mean it can't be implemented for a Monitor Cab Off in stereo but turning the Cab button off in the Stack does give cab driver in stereo at the Main Output?

Quote from The_Bass_Ace

Hey guys I just uploaded a new profiled called "Blackstar HT5 OD"

To my ears the Ht5 sounds a little more modern/open then the ht20 but not as focused.

If you increase the gain a bit i think it's a pretty nice solo sound.

Sounds pretty good with the gain backed off and a compressor in front too! Well done.
