I get what you are asking but as long as ALL units share the same OS and RM version then I don't see Kemper splitting off topics. I do think there will come a time when a dedicated section is made for "legacy" products but I hope that is not in the near future.

I'd say that all units have the same installer, not the same OS. I sometimes get the message to update but the changes regard only the Player, with MkII will be even more entertaining .

Anyway it seems that nobody else cares so I'll live with that.

All original models up to the player basically share the same architecture but with Player and now with MkII the forum got confusing.

I don't have a Player or a MkII but the threads are all mixed and sometimes is impossible to understand which model refers in the thread without opening it and reading.. is quite messy.

At this point with separate sections (I'd do KPA, Rack, Stage together than Player, another for MkII and maybe a General one for Rig Manager and other general questions) things would be easier.

Just my thought

In OS13 the 1/2 button changed its behavior. It's now "unlatch", I don't think this is wanted, or at least there should be the chance to let it work the old way (I couldn't find it). So I guess it's bug.

The same for the "trigger" button

I think you may be in an absolute minority of people that use the looper for professional gigs with a volume pedal. I've never heard of anyone that has experienced this bug, which is probably why they hadn't fixed it before now. So they fixed it pretty much just for you and you didn't say thanks. I get why you're angry though.

I think that you misunderstood what I wrote but I’m not here to argue with people for nothing, I wish you a nice day full of music, smiles and happiness.

That’s cool, I tried that and it works.

I wish I wrote my request years ago, since that bug was there since the beginning.
I’d appreciate the function to temporarily disable the tuner at volume0 when in looper mode, but correcting that bug is already a huge improvement in usability.

Quote from timo

Your previous post did not imply that it is a potential bug and the answer I gave to you should have solved your problem. You also did not try to elaborate the situation, just giving it a "thumps down".

If you think that it is a bug, please contact support directly: Kontakt | Kemper Amps

My english is far from being perfect but I think that I already explained what (to me) is a bug. You quickly closed the thread so it was impossible to “elaborate” something to reply.
The thumb down was for the frustration of not having the possibility to answer (thread closed) and for the need to open another thread to do it.

I guess that you need to answer to many customers every day so the time to read a complex post might be too limited but if you take a minute to read it again what I wrote is:

“..in looper mode it happens that I turn the volume expression pedal all the way down (especially for swells) but this activates the tuner. I might live with that but when I turn the volume up again the screen doesn't go back to Looper Mode but switches to normal Performance Mode..”

Thank you

There are request posts which are open for years, I made this request and the thread was closed after few days and a superficial answer. Why?
I extensively use the Kemper KPA and Stage for 10 years and almost 1000 gigs so please don’t treat me like a newbie.

I would be free to use the function “tuner @volume 0” (which is really useful) without messing things when in Looper mode.

It really seems a bug that when I’m in looper mode if I go to volume zero for a moment the Kemper automatically switches to performance mode, I can’t see a single good reason why I would want to go to performance mode using the volume, I’d rather keep and manage the loop till I DECIDE to push the looper button and go back to performance mode.

I hope that you’ll take more then the few seconds which occurred to give me an obvious answer and close the thread.

Hi, I often use the looper live or at home and since the beginning I struggled with the looper when I use the volume pedal;

while I'm in looper mode it happens that I turn the volume expression pedal all the way down (especially for swells) but this activates the tuner. I might live with that but when I turn the volume up again the screen doesn't go back to Looper Mode but switches to normal Performance Mode so I need to quickly tip tap on switches to go back to looper mode and eventually press other buttons like overdub or reverse without messing the loop that is already a delicate task without an internal quantization like in other loopers.

I bet that nobody would lower the volume pedal to check the tuning in the middle of a loop but, in case, there's still the looper switch and the tuning leds!

Thank you

I have the boss oc3 in a loop. I never succeeded to achieve with Kemper effects. I hope they will develop it one day 🤞🏻

The same for me, when playing solo with a singer it's very helpful. I keep asking for years and it should be a very simple task to program but no way..

I hate going around with with extra cables effects power plug..

Quote from Burkhard

Your text reflects a few misunderstandings.

You have been directed to page 128 of the Main Manual. Why don't you read that?

Conceptually, you leave the direct guitar signal in the HEADPHONES OUT and exclude it from the monitor mix you receive from the mixing desk instead. That's how people do it since it avoids latencies of the guitar signal.

Hi, KPA here. I often have only a mono bus with the band mix from the mixer, is there a way to hear it both on Left and Right channels of my headphone out without using a splitter to feed both aux inputs? Thank you

I store my performances in groups of the same kind (single coils, humbuckers, bass, acoustic etc)

Even if I don't use the 125 slots, it would be useful the chance to highlight in different colours the different kinds of performances in Rig Manager.

It would be also cool to link the colour of the performance to the display colour on the KPA.

Maybe I'm just getting old and need an help to understand at a glance where is what I'm looking for

You might consider an external stereo IR loader. The Boss IR 200 has MIDI so you can recall different setups with a program change from the Kemper

NOOO PLEASE!!!

I love bending down the desk with my guitar hitting here and there to check the tuning or turning on the tuner on the iphone asking everybody to shut up for 20 seconds!

Quote from nightlight

I really need this.

My Kemper is situated behind my computer on a ledge and I cannot see it at all.

Thanks to Rig Manager, I no longer have to get up and squeeze myself into a tight space to twirl knobs on the Kemper.

However, every now and then, especially when I have just booted up the Kemper and my computer, I have to get up, find a spot where I can view the Kemper and tune my guitar.

I would be very grateful if Kemper Amps would make it so that there was a way to get the tuner display on my computer screen.

Please, this would be the best thing possible for a lot of users like me who don't have the Kemper physically near them.

I hope Kemper Amps will consider this in the near future.

Also two separate parametric eq would be ❤️.

Quote from Dynochrome

Separate HPF/LPF for main & monitors please. There are two separate master EQ now, it would be nice to have two separate HPF/LPF.

One for your personal monitor and one for the house. I never use the EQs there but do HPF/LPF. Settling with one is OK, but 2 would be better.

The slope seems to work great where it is so I wouldn't go so far as to ask for an adjustable curve. Maybe 3 different ones if that was easier, but would be very happy with just 2 separate filters for Main & monitor outs.

Quote from whippinpost91850

I do this with my GR55

What is the thread about doesn’t need an exaphonic pickup, just a some minor programming since is a tweak of the Octaver effect. The Boss OC-3 does the job, is just a low pass or high pass filter on the effected signal

hi, you might trying pushing the volume with a compressor or booster before the swell and compensate the difference after it.

Quote from DonPetersen

that's the whole point - OP didn't request a frequency analyser view, he asked for a visual representation of the EQ curve, and it is perfectly accetable to question the usefulness of such a 'feature'.

anyway, this is just my personal view on this matter and not official Kemper policy.

I'd like however to point out that your way of writing in the posts above is lacking a certain politeness, approaching the line to unacceptable.

I also find unacceptable that your first answer to a request kindly made by a user is (with politeness):

“use your ears, not your eyes ”

and then:

“how would it be helpful?

visuals can get in the way of what and how you are hearing - after sound is translated to electrical stimuli in your ear it can actually be influenced by other information and is no longer objective.”
(you maybe turn off the screen when recording to your DAW?)

And then you took for two times a single phrase out of my post to show that I didn’t get the point.

My statement was (I repeat with different words):

a graphical feedback of the parametric eq is helpful, it is showed in every new digital eq except for the old analog emulations and if a frequency analyzer is included is even better.

To me there is a basic misunderstanding;

as a moderator your personal opinions shouldn't be included (just my opinion) and, in case you really need to tell what you think, is un respectful to just answer “use your ears, not your eyes ” to a request that's been made by a user. You give respect-you get respect.

I (As an average user) can live without a visual feedback of the eq but I’ll not be a happy user if the Kemper company doesn’t show respect for my needs.
