I am very disappointed.

What is new? It has more FX blocks simultanously. Nice. I will use it.

A faster chip/ performance? Ok. It´s welcome.

But it is exactly the same enclosure as before, just new graphics.

Bigger screen? No.

USB-C? No! We write the year 2025.....

IT would be so easy to lead stage and head and rack together with the advantages of both.

The stage has more FX loops. That would be very welcome in the head/ Rack.

I appreciate the software modifications in the new software update.

But now my question...what is really new?

Ok, you will need the new chip to run the longer FX chain.

But I feel like it´s a lost chance to build a real game changer or a "performance" winner.

It feels more like...hey, we take the same housing with all the same jacks and the yesterday jack architecture (head/ rack with no individual stereo fx loop), and now just a new platine inside to run our new software.

I miss the courage to build the Kemper of tomorrow, that tomorrow it would be a piece I´d like to buy for a long time and it feels like a todays Kemper. If someone understand my bad english ....

I would need to buy old USB cables or sticks.

I am so proud that I went to a player just a time ago and read that it´s already MK2, so I will get all the real advantages with a free update. Together with a RJM mastermind (with all the physical FX loops I personally need), where I can read the bright display and where the tuner is shown.

I think the MK2 is ok for new people in the kemper world. But sadly, in my opinion, just ok.

I found a nice solution. Just put one ROTARY (set to SLOW) in X slot, another ROTARY (set to FAST) in the MOD slot. Now with MORPH set to 0 percent the X slot is fully wet signal ROTARY in X and fully dry signal ROTARY in MOD. now move MORPH to 100 percent. ROTARY in X fully dry, ROTARY in MOD fully wet. SAVE IT. Now can you change speed of the rotary effect with your MORPH function (button or assigned Expression pedal). slow and fast ramping blends in and out, for live use absolutely ok.

And yeah, I would love to have a variable speed controlled by expression pedal, too.

Thank you!

I have a nice pedalboard. Question is how to get the stereo signal to FOH correctly.

guitar->KPP Stereo monitor out, actually with 2x TS cable to -> Stereo delay pedal -> 2x TS cable to -> stereo reverb pedal.

I read in the manual that I could use 2x TRS to XLR cables and won´t need a D.I.Box to go from there to the stage box -> FOH.

But I go with 2x TS cables to the delay and again with 2x TS cables to the reverb pedal.

Actually I use a RADIAL D.I.Box after the reverb pedal.

But if don´t needed: Can I use 2x TRS to XLR cable to go to the stagebox, instead of the D.I.Box?

I think..no..because I went with TS cables to the delay and reverb pedal...what do the tech pros say?

I had to uninstall the iOS app. Reinstall new version 1.9. But even with my iPhone they won´t connect. Did someone find 3.7.22?

SOLVED: Had to check the SETTINGS.."update..including beta..." oh man...

let´s start slicing

Ok, with I player I can´t use it till a RigManager update is out? Or am I wrong? Updated my player..Rig Manager says "not compatible".

RJM PBC6X +1. It is like an iPhone. Not cheap. But the time you entered the RJM world you´ll probably never come back. But, of course, there are a lot of nice Samsungs out there:)

3fach Schalter wird leider nicht unterstützt. Fände ich sehr cool, können ja einige, Kemper leider (noch) nicht.

Rechter Fußschalter = Tuner. Passt.

Erstelle einen Slot. Inklusive Reverb und Boost, jeweils ON. Linken Fußschalter auf Morph einstellen.

Jetzt Boost und Reverb auf 0 Prozent Mix bzw. Volume Anhebung auf Null. Dann Morph Taster drücken. Jetzt Reverb und Boost wie gewünscht einstellen. Speichern. Et voila. Mit einem Slot per MORPH zwei Settings. Viel Spaß! Habe so schon mal einen einstündigen Gig bestritten.

I use a RJM mastermind to change all my rigs. I bought me the otter dual switch, too.

I would love to have a morph function on Switch 1, Rotary on Switch2, Tuner On on Switch 3. This would be a cool workflow for me.

So, when it is on the to-do-list, this would be very good, thank you in advance, kemper team!

And then..the "weeks, not months"...new slicer/ tremolo section, please. can´t await it. maybe a more different compressor/ sustainer section. There are some solo parts, there I can´t replace my drybell U67 or even some helix comp presets with the kemper comp. It won´t nail it sometimes. Tried to stack it..nope. But this thread is for the morph. would be nice, I would use it. Often.

It would be a phantastic solution on the player, if you chose the tuner:

Slot 1 is blinking = E

Slot2 is blinking = A

Slot3 = D...

Slot4 = G

Slot5 = B

TAP = E

and the LEDs above are the tuner display, middle = exact in tune

and in the rig manager you can store one or more personal settings, what the tuner should show = drop D, open G...what your needs are.

I find the three tuner LEDs useless and for little venues with only the player, a wedding, a rehearsal,...I need to have an external tuner with me...not funny.

I use a RJM Mastermind PBC/6X. The kemper is in the insert slot. So I can use all my beloved FX pedals pre and post the player. And the mastermind shows me the tuner of the kemper (and has a built in tuner, too). And I can remote the dual switch function with the mastermind (rotary slow/ fast)..love it.

Hi, I used the MEGX for years. You have to create a long list with all possibilities. The easiest way is to do it in the MEGX editor, if I remember correctly.

There you create

PC1 all off (000000)

PC2 only first on (100000)

PC3 first and second (110000).......that will take a little bit of time, but it is a very secure way to get all possibilities right. I wrote a list in a word program to see, what I need while programming the kemper performances.

Don´t forget to have the possibilities for the function switch one and two. ( I remind that I used it for another dual looper (the gigrig remote loopy) for two more FX loops.

PC1 all off .....and FS1 off FS2 off

PC...65 all off...and FS1 on FS2 off......

be shure which effect pedal shall be in which loop! If you change an effect pedal, it is a lot of time to change your Midi PC for all of your songs.

for me it was worth the time to have a phantastic workflow with the MEGX. I had a RACK (switched to the player) with the remote. then I sold the remote to use a RJM mastermind and this made the programming of the MEGX super easy! I had two MEGX and all FX loops were directly chosen and saved in the RJM mastermind.

Actually there´s only a Looper Start and a Looper Stop CC for the footswitches, It would be nice to have all possibilities (reverse, half speed..) for the footswitches, too.

I use the Kemper player together with an RJM Mastermind. I could need CC commands for it to have easily all the possibilities of the looper AND/ OR direct possibilities to choose the commands for the Kemper Player footswitches....because they are free (all presets are changed with the Mastermind).

You can go with a RJM Mastermind LT. It can do nearly everything you would wanna have done by a remote. I like the thought of a "mini remote", too.

Actually I use a RJM PBC to have space for different additional single pedals, what is missing (for me) in the player: I real good polyphonic pitch shifter= Virtual jeff. A digitech freqout. a stutter-hold and real good tape rewind effect=BOSS DD8. A versatile sustain compressor= drybell U67. BOSS Slicer....I am looking forward the promised "weeks, not months" update for sliceresque sounds. One of the reasons for the RJM PBC: you have a programmable insert point for the player. so I can add 3 FX pre and 3 effects post kemper. AND I have added a tuner, because the internal 3LED "tuner" is the worst and most useless idea I have ever seen in a pedal. a harley benton guitar for 80 bucks is having a little display, every cheap mutliFX is able to show you a regular display and kemper can´t? Mhm, kemper was not willing..ok. I woouldn´t need a tuner, because the RJM is able to show the kemper internal tuner in it´s RJM display...very nice! But I love my KORG pitchblack for it´s nice 3D display. After the end of the PBC I use a RADIAL DI BOX to have XLR for FOH and stereo through I send my signal into a little mixer for my IEM. the player is a very useful tool and makes everything a little bit more compact. For my next gig I will use the OTTER DUO+ SWITCH directly with the player, nothing more (but a tuner is needed to added), to have it really small.

Quote from Wheresthedug

Wah is a a simple sweeping filter there shouldn’t be much too the algorithm. I would be very surprised is the Line 6 or Fracral or anyone else formthat matter uses a different algorithm for each of their wah effects. It is much more likely that they use a generic algorithm like Kemper and create specific wah effects by tweaking this in a similar manner to the Kemper Wah presets.

I am really shure they do have different algos...including different parameters and behaviours. I use Kemper for so many years, and alongside that different products from line6 and eventide for multi FX. Before the "kemper chapter" I collected Wah pedals. My most beloved..a snarling dog.. ..the line6 conductor is very close. I have had different morley pedals, some of them with modifications.. I can find it in another algo. ibanez wheeping demon was a very special one..you can find it. and so many Crybaby and VOX and and and..(the digital sonuus was interesting, too). there is really more than a sweeping filter, what makes so many wah pedals unique. kemper is very close to the classic cry baby and the vox wah. and yeah...maybe with the tweaking possibilities in the kemper algo 85 to 90 percent of users will be happy. and I am very happy with all my kempers, coz their main feature, the amp sound, was my entrance to the kemper world (with the right profiles) and the exit from stereo tube amp walls and up to three gigantic pedalboards and rack equipment. I hope that different FX in the kemper will be updated soon. It would be ok to pay something extra for that. like eventide did with their H9 pedal. so everyone can consider, what he is willing to pay depending on his or her needs.

Quote from DonPetersen

what do you like better in these wah sounds?
which one in particular?

All Kemper Wah Sounds have the same algorithm. Everything sounds like little variations of the same "butter and bread" baiscs. It´s ok, you can work with it. I like the different wah sounds in the cheapest Line6 M5...the same eco system goes, like kemper, to their highest priced models. But unfortunately there are only ca. 140 "curated" FX in the player, and from HX ONE till HELIX they have ALL FX to work with. including a very nice conductor wah, wheeping Ibanez model and so on. And I would understand a limited range of FX slots more (just like a HX ONE can only handle one FX at once) than the limited algorithms. Just like friends of mine, I have a kemper Head at home to record and to work with all FX. I can use my stage and work with every FX live. But I am not the only one who would like to have all FX in the player and save presets with the limited slots, just as a backup or for little venues or, when you´re at a wedding and play only three songs.

I am shure it´s already done and ready. But I think CK, maybe, will implement a store to buy different algorithms as it was done with the eventide H9. Then you can add different functions for the player. Hopefully. It is not the cheapest competitor out there alongside HX STOMP/ EFFECTS/ ONE with every algo for free and "morph" like features. Yes, it´s nice to get updated algos for free and to feel happy about that. But LINE6 has delivered their range of gear with much more FX since day one, including very nice synth, filter better wah sounds then kemper. Yes, Kemper is by far the best sounding device (for me), but regarding the facts what is missed for years.. ..it is not as holy as felt sometimes. And the useless flashing TAP TEMPO LED is a shame for such a expensive device.

Seit Ewigkeiten Kemper Nutzer mit InEar von Sennheiser samt Ultimate Ear 5 pro (früher).

Daheim liebe ich es mit halboffenen Kopfhörern zu spielen Sennheiser HD 650. Was ich damit einstelle, klingt dann auch im Pult für FOH im wesentlichen, wie ich es gerne hätte: Ziel neutraler EQ am Mischpult im Sinne von einstöpseln, Gain anpassen, gewünschte Lautstärke. Gerade bei (Stadtfest-) Veranstaltungen mit stets neuen Pulten und Technikern. Bei der Probe spielen wir häufig bereits über eine kleine PA, da wird feinjustiert und passt dann.

ABER: Meine schönen teuren UE InEars (jep, teurer geht natürlich immer) übertrugen NIE die Gitarre annähernd so rüber wie meine halboffenen Ohr umschließenden Sennheiser daheim. Das war stets ein halbgrausames "Ich mach das Beste aus dem Gig". Sämtliche Vorabmischversuche etc. samt eigenem Minimixer brachten nur marginale Verbesserungen.

Dann ging ein Kopfhörer kaputt und ich dachte...hmm...nochmal maßgeschneidert und noch teurer investieren, aber so ganz weißt du nicht, ob es dann wirklich besser ist, Ambientbohrung weil daheim halboffener Kopfhörer ja doch anderes Empfinden liefert...schau dich doch erstmal (nach vielen Jahren) um, was gibt der Markt an Standards her? Und so probierte ich mich durch mehrere Fischer Amps InEars durch, bis ich den fand, der doch deutlich besser als die mittlerweile reparierten UE klang. Aber die einzelnen Unterschiede in der Harschheit oder Dumpfheit des Tons waren schon merklich hörbar. Dann habe ich einfach mal meine Abhörkette beim neuen Digitalpult auf Vordermann gebracht und einen subtilen EQ auf meinen Monitorweg gelegt. Es entspricht weiterhin nicht dem schönen Klang meiner halboffenen Kopfhörer..das wäre ein Traum. Aber solange ich nicht wie der Gitarrist von Linkin Park mit großen Kopfhörern auf die Bühne gehen möchte.... ....Mein Sennheisersender hat ja auch einen Kopfhörerausgang, da hört man auch ohne die Funkstrecke die unterschiedlichen Kopfhörer sehr gut raus. Für mich persönlich weiß ich, dass ich noch meine LieblingsInEarKopfhörer finden muss. Ein Kumpel ließ mich mal seine UE live für 2.500,- Euro testen..leider nur mal schnell mit Handy verbunden...WOW. Aber keine Ahnung, ob das wow dann auch für Gitarre klingt. Thomann hat in Stairville eine InEarStation, wo man sich reichlich durch verschiedene Modelle und Preisklassen durchhören kann. Halt nur mit wie immer perfekter Musik vom Computer, aber für eine Vorauswahl war das sehr nützlich, da hörte ich schon sehr intensiv die für mich wichtigen Anspruchskriterien an meinen Wunschmonitorsound heraus.

Die Fischer Amps habe ich lieber als meine UE im Ohr. Da nicht maßangefertigt, ein ganz klein wenig "offener". Nachteil: Man muss sie schon recht fest reinstopfen (eigentlich dann ein Widerspruch zu "ich hätte es gerne offener"), da sonst beim Singen (der Smile-Effekt) sich der Ohrkanal verändert, der Ohrhörer nicht richtig sitzt und dann im Wechsel ein schöner Klang oder ein kalter, heller Klang entsteht, da die Stöpsel weniger mit dem Schädel verbunden sind, um Mitten und Bässe über die Knochen hinzuzuaddieren.

I found out a very nice and maybe helpful solution for other lovers of the MORPH function.

I use a RJM Mastermind LT as midi controller. A BOSS FS-7 is the external dual switch that I connected to it.

In the Kemper menu set "momentary" to ON.

Now I take the latch function of the BOSS to ON and see the MORPH state with the LED ON or OFF. (..and pressing it once, not twice for the action, maybe some people know this problem, too).

I use CC#11 to have an immediate MORPH without rise and fall time from zero to hundred percent (0-127).

the other button of the BOSS FS-7 I assigned to CC#80 and the latching switch works including the rise and fall time.

Can't await to figure out what is possible with both function. (I don't want to use an expression pedal.)

A slow vinyl stop function...or a immediately pitch shifted tone or crazy stutter effects with the drive sections...

all the best, maybe it is helpful for someone in the Kemperuniverse, Jeremy

wanted to write Kemper + universe = kemperverse first...but when I read this a second time...better not.

EDIT: Together with an BOSS FS-6 I can set button A to LATCH (with rise and fall) and button B to momentary (immediately ON).

Ja, das gehört leider zu den mit Abstand schlechtesten Scherzen für so ein teures ansonsten gutes Produkt. Leider scheint es dem Chef..so muss das deutlich gesagt werden..seit Jahren nicht peinlich zu sein. Ich muss mich mit externen Pedalen behelfen, denn wir haben live Clicktracks/Sampler beim Schlagzeuger, teilweise aber atmosphärische Spielpausen, wo ich nur zum Blinken spiele..leider nicht zur LED vom Kemper..
