Where can I find the download for rigmanager 4.0? It is not on my Kemper download page. I do see the PROFILER Operating System 14.0.0 Public Beta but not the updated rigmanager. Also my KPP doesn't give a warning that new FW upgrade is available. Do I miss something here?
If you click the tab for Beta , then check for updates in Rig Manager it should pop up with the new update to download
Yes, that is a problem. The community will have to indicate which profiles are 2.0 and which ones use liquid profiling. The good part is that now, when you use a liquid profile, a clear indicator appears in the Rig Manager. I hope that in the official release it will be possible to search for them directly.
Yes in the Right Manager once the profile is loaded you can see in the Amp and Cabinet icon it will say Profile 2.0 if it was created using 2.0
Updated , rig manager crashed when KPP was rebooting. No harm done after reboot and KPP reboot.
Now to test
Will update one of my Players later and try to profile a couple of my amps. It seems straight forward. Need to dust off my Kemper DI box, ha ha
Mk.2.0 let’s go!!!
Kemper post on Facebook says 2.0 out this week
I’ll be getting one of these to keep on my desk beside my Player.
We are getting near, looking forward to how this has improved Liquid profiles and how profiling will work on the Player.
Do wou mean backing track in .wav format? So maybe also samples? That would be super cool
Yes backing tracks in .wav.
Plus you can program in effect/program changes and lighting into the tracks.
The one thing that intrigues me with the Helix Stadium is the ability to play backing tracks. I have a duo, we use some backing tracks and this might cut down on the amount of gear I need to haul
I own a Fractal FM3 (as well as two Kemper Players, Kemper Rack,Tone X and Quad Cortex) I have used a Helix in the past.
The Fractal is miles ahead sound wise than the Helix. The new updates with new cabs are great on the Fractal, so much so that really no need to tweak much for a good sound.
The routing options and use of multiple amps is second to none.
Fractal offers a really good guitar amp on par with the Kemper. It would be money well spent IMO
I have had great success creating my guitar sounds in the context of recorded songs that I will be playing too. I lay down my track and listen back to how I fit in with the rest of the band. Then adjust accordingly. You might find the sound is not always ideal when played alone but you can create a simple output EQ adjustment and save it for home use and one for live.
I find if I tell the tech to leave my sound flat on the board I have better luck. Too many techs are used to mixing and tweaking amps on stage, we are a different beast to them.
I own two KPP , you should own one.
Profiling MK2 will be released when the Kemper team feels it’s ready. One thing we can all be sure, it will deliver and exceed our expectations as they always do.
For now sit back and relax, enjoy the profiles we have and work on some music.
🤟
I like the Liquid Profiled Marshalls
I received my MKII Rack today and I agree that the effect led are way to dim.
Ok, forget the “pending” question. Just got the new Player yesterday. Programmed everything. Sat down to practice a bit at the coffee table. Turned on the WiFi and Bluetooth to test that out and play along to some stuff a bit.
And it crashed.
This is not good.
Do NOT use wi-fi and BT at the same time . Pick one and stay there. It’s a known issue.
Personally I use wi-fi and my unit has been stable since I bought the unit many months and gigs ago.
You can also replace the USB-C connection by a long USB cord, flip the display and attach it to your guitar neck.
Now that would be interesting. I have used a longer USB cable to move the display by my desk.
I am going to get an angled bracket to put on my pedalboard and velcro the screen onto that , just to keep it stable.
I’ll say it again… it’s a great addition to the already great KPP!!!!
How do you like the Retrovision? I'm really intrigued by it.
I like the compact size of the Player plus having more power and newer tech under the hood. Perfect world I'd love a Stage Mk2 that was more compact in size but since I don't truly need that functionality as I don't gig, the Player works fine for me.
Also tinkering with the idea of adding it to a small board with a couple pedals before and after it. Basically to use it like a 3-channel amp.
The Retrovision screen is awesome. The instant visual is great and it’s small but easy to read.
I hear what you are saying but by the time you add those extra switches and midi controllers ets you have a board that is as big a as Stage but less integrated and with less I/O options and less expression pedal options. I don’t see the attraction of a pieced together board over an all in one.
While true that once you start integrating into a pedalboard you are now the size of a Stage but you can add things that Kemper does not offer.
For my use I’ve add a guitar synth, wah, expression for synth, extra drive pedal, Pederson tuner with options for alt tunings
My KPP has a display thanks to Retrovision and I use a power brick under my board, so no wallwart plug just a simple IEC to power everything.
So it really comes down to how you want to use your Kemper product. Choices, choices.
I also have a Rack as well but have been using the KPP exclusively for live.
Have not tried the CS12 but the Vodoo Lab PP3 works
