The widening FX are excellent. Great on bass too.

I gather from the info on Kemper site that you can load full profiles from the head/stage units and they will play with complete set of FX and routings available if you have tier II and III installed. If you want to run the studio unit from Rig Manager on the computer you could find that pretty satisfactory. There will remain a few differences in operating the Player as it currently doesn't support some functions on the Head such as locking FX but hopefully they will be coming in future updates.

Crossover as an addon with mod effects is a great feature. Glad it will be retained. This approach was very commonly used in the recording studio on bass guitar for example. The phase/flange/chorus effect applying only above 400 Hz for example which would keep the deeper bass centered and stable in the mix and allow the modulation to work its magic on the upper frequencies.

Restart Rig Manager and it will automatically check for updates. You can choose Check for Updates in the menu but sometimes this is greyed out if you have already checked - which may necessitate a shutdown and restart of Rig Manager.

The very lastest OS and Rig Mahager versions are often Beta versions - if the build of the OS you want is a beta it is often the case that the Rig Manager version that is compatible with it is also a beta SO you have to check the option to allow beta versions in the Rig Manager menu to allow them to be downloaded. It is advisable in any post like this so tell us what version of Rig Manager and the OS is currently loaded.

The “bubble” graphic isn’t there but the bubble tunner is always visible. If you look carefully you will see that the top 2/3rds of the display is a strobe but the bottom 1/3 has an arrow and ticks which is just a simplified graphical representation of the bubble tuner. If you look at the strobe on the Stage or Remote you will see there is only a strobe (no arrow or ticks). They have just found a nice way to integrate both on screen in RM which I think works really nicely.

Calling it the bubble tuner without an actual bubble graphic has clearly led to a little confusion but I accept that the pitch indicator function is there. Just not the most convincing graphical representation - the arrow is smaller and harder to see which could be an issue for some. I think the strobe may help there.

Maybe the update did not complete. Sometimes you get a dialog box that asks for permission to update the profiler but it is covered by other windows and if you never give that permission the update has downloaded but never completes the update. You can see if the version installed has changed in Rig Manager.

I am getting the tuner with the strobotuner animation working as expected but when I shift to bubble tuner view on my toaster with 12.0.6 I do not get a view corresponding to that in RM 3.8.6 on PC. This is with the follow tuner mode checked on the toaster/head.

You will need to allow beta versions in the preferences for Rig Manager.

No, until now the lock function is not available for the player. But I assume the day will come, in the end the three products are quite align to each other

Hard to see why this super useful function has not been included. They are rejigging much more complex things with the Level II and III packages.

Can you lock these functions on the KPP from Rig Manager?

So do the created amp and cab components of the resulting profile then let you bypass them by toggling the ‘blocks’ amp and cab? And if so, selecting the cab and then choosing a different one from a preset will let you xperiment with other speaker cabs. I assume saving a different choice to the rig would then cause the original created cab to be lost?

Save it under a new name (eg add the new cabs name as a suffix).

I believe the KPA can distinguish a direct profile from a profile with a cab automatically. Just the filtering effect of the cab - which will drastically reduce the bandwidth of the signal - would be enough. The KPA automatically creates a model of the amp AND the cab - it deduces the effect of the amp circuit and the effect of the speaker+cab+mic as a post amp filter acting on the direct signal.

Beta 12.0.2 update is not working for me. Tried three times on a toaster and update fails each time after successfully updating RM to .25.

Edit: Had a fourth try after 18 hours and update went ahead without problem - possibly a different copy was uploaded but in any case 12.0.2 seems good to go

@ Gary_W

Yes - an option to keep the presets window open and be able to move easily through a list of them would make exploiting these tools much easier.

I have just updated and now it says I need at least rig manager 3.22 but I can only find 3.20. Anybody know if 3.22 is about? MacOS

Have you authorised beta versions in Rig Manager?

I hope I can ask this here. I am brand new, (1 day old profiler head owner), Is the beta open to all users? Or do you have to be in a beta program?

Thanks.

It is a public beta and shared to anybody who wants it. Private betas are confidential and not discussed here.

The trem extravaganza has arrived at last!

Trem, Slicer and autopan types are subtypes under Chorus effect in the Editor Menu.

I think this amounts to indecent exposure.

What happens if you turn the gain down on the Kabinet (powered) and turn up the output level on the Stage? I wonder if the cutout is due to thermal overload.

Afaik, the Kemper guys are very good at programming „lean“ code to be executed on their hardware. AI in general is very resource-hungry. Will not work with the current hardware.
This is a general problem with AI. Everyone knows about global warming but doesn‘t care about the energy wasted with every ChatGPT (and others) answer. But I‘m getting out of topic - sorry.

Making a capture is massively more compute intensive than using it once made.
