I'm unable to move the presets on Rig Manager on my Windows. Anyone else facing this issue?
Copy and paste is working for me on Win 11. Cut and paste is not available. You need to copy and then delete the duplicates.

HW did that A/B comparo with his vintage Deluxe. It is on his Youtube channel.
I am on win 11 latest version here.
Just installed the release version of the 14.0.3 OS when prompted. New OS release version installed OK. Rig Manager v61 did not install correctly. I reinstalled a few times over - tried two different downloads, repairing and uninstalling by different methods etc. No dice.
I wondered if the ASIO driver might be the issue so I tried a restart and then a new Icon for Rig Manager appeared in the Start Menu and everything seems to be OK. Might be necessary to restart to complete the new install.
Profiling is software. New code => new results. People seem to assume that more DSP horsepower is required but this is not necessarily the case. Eg Line 6 radically lowered dsp load for cabs for the HX series in one OS release and both Line 6 and Fractal significantly increased resolution of their modelling engine in major OS revisions over the years. If coding is more efficient more can be done with less.
In some way off topic:
Classic profiles sound the same on Mk1 and Mk2 to me!
as stated by Kemper
I use a lot of clean and edge of breakup profiles and tend to lock my own post amp block FX in place and never bother with vendors FX settings. Mbritt has a preferred cab for most profiles and TJ often uses a Scumback (vintage celestion copy) or a Matchless cab with two different speakers on his sets. He uses other cabs - esp Marshall Quad box on his gainier sets. The Everything set from TJ is often discounted down to very affordable levels eg 100 bucks.
I prefer to use a wider set of speaker cabs and both MBritt and Tonejunkie do capture some other speakers/cabs for some of their sets eg Vox Blue or Silver, vinage 10s or 15" speakers. So much of the interesting variation comes from varying the cab/mic setup with an amp so if you like one of the cabs you can lock it on and try other profiles from the set with alternate cabs. Save any combos that you like.
What if the player has no available spots for profiles? Some would need to be moved off the KPP so you would have room to store new profiles on the player.
Okay, I saw the Beta Profiler OS, and downloaded that. The release notes say it needs RM 4.whatever to use it, but I do not see the beta RM in the downloads. What am I missing?
Once Beta OS is loaded, RM will prompt to download the new compatible version - if you are connected online.
The initial excitement is fading.
When will version 3 be released?
Too soon?
Full rig profiles are very significantly shaped by the cab/mic combination involved. The exact placement of the mic - to the millimeter - even the choice of a specific mic will influence the result. Large profile sets of a single amp from vendors like Choptones often use dozens of different mic and cab combinations. The idea that you could reduce all of that diversity to a single liquid profile seems unlikely. Direct profiles may work better for that approach.
It is possible that the Kemper T&T vids are foregrounding this aspect - the extent to which you can dial in a given profile after the fact of its capture - because it is unique to the Kemper architecture and clearly useful in chasing a particular tone. The competion is coming from more of a Groucho Marx style position where they have an accurate snapshot capture and "if you don't like it we have others."
...and how should AI know it? Is it in the Beta team?
Dey gots eyes everywhere, man.![]()
I would expect that any vendors who are testing/profiling with the new V2 tech are under NDA to not discuss or distribute anything they create with the new OS versions until release to the public (public Beta would be next I expect). With the new release I guess the embargo will end.
QuoteIf it were me, and I wanted to impress or sway the 'potential target audiences', I would provide a lossless format audio file that could be downloaded and played on studio quality monitors.
Yeah. I hope they post some audio files so everyone can check out the new profiling ie source vs profiled amp.
Will the KPPLV1 machine be updated?
Of course. New OS revisions for all units in due course.
So they went to Manny's on 48th street and bought whatever they couldn't afford before. Among all the other gear Stewart bought a delay machine, and the rest is history.
Yep. They bought a Space Echo and Sting's black strat and a bunch of other pedals etc.
My suprise was great when i got it home and found out it doesn`t even have slots for the bread:(
And now all this talk about a mk2.. And after what i can tell from the description it will have set slots both before and after some chain, so there is hope that they will include place for the bread this time.
Play your cards right and maybe the mods or someone at KHQ will lay some bread on you - if only to keep you quiet about this obvious design flaw.
People underestimate the importance of slots at their peril. I think back to the time I attended a performance at a local music venue. I paid a visit to the restroom and encountered a condom vending machine mounted on the wall. Someone had thoughtfully posted user instructions on the wall beside it. "Place baby in slot for refund."
Clearly the implication here is: no slots, no refunds. Maybe this precedent explains the lack of slots on the KPA.
Congrats on the 10 year anniversary, Bert. Lots of excellent profiles over the years and some fantastic demos to go with them.
For me, a key feature of the KPA has been the ability to massage the amp sound toward the sound you want after capture with all the parameters in the amp block. With the Liquid Profiles you can even modify the tone stack settings. A profile is not necessarily the endpoint of the process whereas with most of the alternatives the capture is exactly that.
Given what an enormous contribution the speaker and cabinet make to a guitar sound, the new cabinet parameters will offer further sound shaping possibilities after a capture/profile is made.
I get that some people were not happy with palm mute sounds on high gain amps for example so more accurate rendition of those sounds would clearly be a plus. Will be interested to hear the results when they are ready for prime time.
