I’d rather see a remote with a (touch) screen, functionality to edit all parameters, wireless connection, battery powere, and possibly some added I/Os (if that’s possible via USB without latency.)

Can you switch the fixed efx with CC? (On/off), I didn’t find it in the manual

Can you control the fixed fx with CCs?

Quote from Burkhard

If you use the USB B port, the Player acts as client and needs an USB host on the other side.

You can for example send MIDI using a software like MIDI OX from a PC or MAC: For this You can leverage the same USB cable that you also use for Rig Manager for Windows/macOS and for USB audio. That works and we are not aware of any sofwtare issues.

Thnx for the response

I did try with a device in host mode, but if there are no known software issues, I have to include cable/midicontroller to my suspect list.

Any reports on USB B to USB C cables that work fine for audio interfacing kpp to an ipad, but not work for midi?

I want to connect 3 usb midi devices:

Illuminate M1 (can be host or client)

M vave chocolate (seems to onlynwork with the M1 in host mode)

Kemper player.


I can get the the kpp USB A to work from an USB cliënt, both M1 as well as M vave

When I connect a USB host device (M1) to USB A, things get really unreliable, seems like some loop is going on while all “thru” on the connected host device is off. Maybe 2 host devices should not be in the chain?

I tried the USB B port on the player, that gives zero response, not from the M vave, not from the M1 in either host or client mode. Has anyone succesfully used the B port for midi?

I’m on 12.1.5 IOS

Only possible if outputs can be reconfigured to inputs via software…not sure if that is possible.

In theory a stereo loop would be possible:

- convert monitor output L to a stereo unbalanced (it’s trs atm, for use with split cable)

- convert monitor output R to a send

- convert headphone to a stereo return. (Use with split cable)

Everyone, if you were expecting something radically different, I'm not sure why. Clearly, Kemper has a mentality of "don't fix what isn't broken".

I'm personally excited by the upgrades and the additional FX blocks and what I believe is profiling for the Player. Thanks Kemper!

Profiling for the player..hows that gonna happen with 1 input?
Or is transforming one output to an input possible via software? (Never seen that on any device)

I would also do a little dance of the new profiling tech would be available on mk1s. Mostly cause I use a toaster to profile, and a KPP to run them.

Try it with one of the old drives not one of the Kemper Drive choices.

Try it with the drive as the only active block and use the input and output/ monitor out as if the whole Kemper is just one effects pedal and see if the dry through symptom changes in either of those scenarios.

Not sure what it proves but it could confirm the dry through character that was programmed as part of the ‘Kemper Drive is the difference if it is the only thing that gives you that symptom as opposed to the amp block switching in and out…

Kemper fuzz and ocd…same observation.

Quote from Wheresthedug

I’m not sure how loud this clean signal is in your scenario but if it is relatively low it is probably correct. Even at 100% mix the Kemper drive still has some clean signal in the sound. This is how analog overdrive pedals like the Tube Screamer actually work so Kemper replicated it in the Kemper Drive. However, when going into an amp you don’t notice it as the amp adds its character to the clean portion of the signal.

I wouldn’t describe it as “relatively low”, more then the typical TS. I noticed it monitoring into the front of an analog amp (efx loop, 4cm, placed right after the drive), so it wasn’t cause of the sonic effect of absence of an amp.

The dry signal didn’t seem to be there when I replaced the analog amp with a profile. (Switch loop off, amp on)

So…for now my conclusion is that there is a change in routing the driveblock when you switch the amp block off.

But I hope someone can confirm/dispuut the observation.

I was fiddling with a toaster in 4cm with an amp, and noticed some odd behaviour from the Kemper drive: I heard both an overdriven signal, as well as a clean one.

My conclusion is that when you switch amp&cab off on the KPA, there is a clean path going to the main out, alongside the overdriven signal. Doesn’t seem to be there when the amp section is on. Mix is at 100% on the drive. I cant think of any other setting causing this.

Can anyone confirm what I’m hearing? Is this a bug / as designed?
Is there a setting I missed?

Quote from Kemper Support #1

cc#1 controls the wah effect. To switch an effect on or off over MID you need to send the appropriate control change command for the slot that the effect is placed in. You can find a complete list of these CC messages in the MIDI chapter of the reference manual on page 388.

Resolved.

I did the assumption that “bypass at stop” would turn off the efx block, but it turns of the wah with the block still active.

2nd wrong assumption: cc would effect the “ manual” parameter…Didn’t have a guitar connected, so didn’t spot all was ok

The expression pedal / midi device I use work as expected controlling other parameters with CC.

I set to CC 1 to try to control the Wah.

The wah doesn’t switch on/off on sending CC1 data.

The value of “manual” in the wah doesn’t change.

issue?

I’d go for monitor out, with cabs switched off…into the returns of the amp.

I have the toaster included in an aggregated device on the Mac.

I record the DI signal via Profiler USB

The analog output of the toaster is routed to my monitoring.
The daw return is also monitored through something else then the profiler.

I’d like the option to route the recorded DI to the profiler without having to toggle the mode in the output section. I think this would be possible if there was the option to activate both the front, as well as the usb return, simultaneously.

ATM my workaround is that I record both the Di signal as well as the analog stereo output…so I have sound on playback…but that’s not as efficient as things could be. Or is there a better method to record DI and monitor both while tracking as well as on playback?

I use a Boss OC-5 at solo acoustic gigs, to add in a bass part as the song progresses, by having it set to play the lowest note of each chord, from the low open E string up to the open D.

Simular usecase here. For a nylon string I use comping a singer, and for stuff like this:

A note to newer members of the Forum: If you agree with this suggestion, add your "Heart" to the original post. That makes it easier for Kemper staff to see the popularity of the suggestion.

How many would we need to draw attention?

Like the Boss OC, an octaver on which you can set the range on which the octaver triggers. (For example, only trigger on the first octave of the guitar range)

You can easily toggle with bank Button + wifi/bluetooth Button between Access Point and Wifi Modus.

Thnx, missed that one from the manual.

Administrator maybe close this one

When you have set up the home network:

To be able to connect rigmanager when you use the player elsewhere, you need to hold the WiFi button for 8 seconds, then enable the access point. While that seems doable…when you need the rigmanager “at the gig”…there’s more then often a bit of time pressure.

At home you need connect via accespoint again, reactivate the home network, switch WiFi on your device….etcetc.

There must be a better way….

Maybe a quick way to toggle between the modes via the buttons? Maybe switch to access point when there is no known network available?
