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.

I’m on 11.1.54
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?

As long as you set max banks to 125 all the rigs are "visible" in as much as you can use the Left and Right Arrows to scroll through them. Kemper have already said that they don't see any point in having more than 10 banks visible in the grid view. I have to admit I totally disagree with this stance and hope they change their mind though. Even if it was possible to press and hold the Rig name box and bring up a drop down list of rigs that would be a step in the right direction but ideally I would like to have a 10x5 grid view for all 625 possible rigs. Scrolling through the entire list one rig at a time to find something is unworkable for me.

I’d be fine with only 10 banks on the hardware, but would like to be able to manage the banks from the iOS app. Currently I can select 1-10 on the iOS app. Is that “as designed”?

The “set max banks”…is that available on the iOS app? (Can’t find it)

I needed to delete the iOS app first before11.1.3. fixed the efx issue.

The visible banks are still only 1-10

Quote from Burkhard

For those experiencing the issue, that the additional effect types don't appear while the signal chain is complete with eight effect modules A, B, C, D, X, MOD, DLY, REV:

Please completely delete the app from the iOS device. Hold the app icon until the delete option appears. Afterwards you will get asked, if you also intend to delete related data. PLease confirm this deletion to initiate a complete cleaning.

Reinstall Rig Manager iOS 1.8.2 and make sure the Player OS is the latest (currently 11.1.2).

Then establlish connections and open Rig Manager iOS.

Leave it alone for about two minutes.

Issue is still present after doing the above

Quote from Wheresthedug

Hi Timo. I have turned my Player of an on multiple times and closed and opened the app several times but the effects still never appear.

Same here, on multiple iOS devices.

Besides all the 8 slots being available, lvl2 efx not visible, and if a rig is loaded with a lvl2 efx, it is replaced by a greenscream in the iOS RM. Also, the extra banks are not visible in the iOS rm.

On desktop rm it’s fine.

We are running in circles. Timing of the button hit and button release is important and makes a difference. Read the manual.

I have read the manual, I can’t appriciate this kind of response at all tbh. One would suspect decent support….and this ain’t it by a long shot!

Quote from Burkhard

From the manual:

Looper Start

You start the initial recording by pressing this button. By pressing it the second time, you set the loop end, and the Looper will immediately stop the recording, and start to playback the recorded loop from the beginning, and repeat it indefinitely. The timing of both hits on the button is crucial for the accurate groove of the loop. During the playback, you can play along the loop without recording anything. When you hit the button again at any time, the overdub starts without interrupting the playback. Everything you play will be added to the previous recording. Pressing the button another time will stop the overdub, and continue the pure playback again. Note: the initial recording of a loop and the setting of the loop end is only done once. Changing from playback to overdub, and back to playback, can be done to eternity. Note: this function can also be assigned to external switches or for example the Remote’s TUNER button, if you are used to trigger Tuner Mode via Volume Pedal and therefore don’t require TUNER button in its default functionality.

Looper Stop

Stops the playback of the loop. To restart the playback, press "Record / Playback / Overdub”. To go from stop to overdub, you must press "Record / Playback / Overdub” a second time. To erase the current loop and start a fresh initial recording, press "Stop” three times. Then press "Record / Playback / Overdub” to record. Note: this function can also be assigned to external switches or for example the Remote’s TUNER button, if you are used to trigger Tuner Mode via Volume Pedal and therefore don’t require TUNER button in its default functionality.

and this when holding the buttons:

Holding Looper Start

There are three different situations where holding this button can make sense. As an alternative to the standard recording method, you can hold this button down to determine the length of the initial recording. The looper will continue recording until you release the button, at which point the loop end is set, and playback of the recorded loop begins. The Record / Playback / Overdub Button has a potential drawback: when the loop end gets set, it automatically turns to playback mode at the same time. A subsequent overdub, immediately after the initial recording, cannot be done by simply pressing the button. However, it is possible by holding it: Start the initial recording by pressing shortly. For loop end, and subsequent overdub, press and hold the button. The loop will instantly be repeated, and your playing will be overdubbed for as long as you hold the button. For subsequent overdubs, rather than pressing "Record / Playback / Overdub” quickly to change modes, hold it for the overdub and release it for playback.

Holding Looper Stop

For erasing the current loop, instead of pressing the Stop Button three times, you can hold it for two seconds. That's the way many other loopers handle the erase of the loop.

My setup doesn’t do this part:

When you hit the button again at any time, the overdub starts without interrupting the playback. Everything you play will be added to the previous recording. Pressing the button another time will stop the overdub, and continue the pure playback again.

My controller sends 127, then 0.

Any ideas? Maybe it needs a certain amount of Milliseconds in between?

Quote from Burkhard

As Timo already wrote you need to send a value 1-127 when you hit the button and a 0 when you release the button.

If the time gap between those is short, the function latches. If the time gap is longer, the function switches to momentary operation. This way it works exactly as the Looper Start and Looper Stop buttons at a Remote or Stage.

If you don't follow that consequently it's garbage in garbage out.

This gets more consistent results. (Always send 127 and 0).

I can start recording, stop (and start playback) using 81

With 82 I can pause, restart and reset by hitting it 3x.

I haven’t figured out how I can restart the loop, and add to it. How would I go about that?

I don’t get consistent results either. Sometimes it starts recording at 81(127), it consistently keeps looping without recording after 81(0), it consistently records again while looping at 81(127)

But after a 82 CC…it’s a guess how to start it again, and I haven’t found a way to restart the loop.

Did anyone figure out how to set it up using the CC? I can tell it responds, sometimes it loops…sometimes it records, but not consistently at the exact same CC.

Quote from Hallan

I have updated my Player Level 2/3 to 11.1.2 but nothing has changed… through iPhone or iPad app still Level 1… basic FX ecc.. :(((

If I load any kind of not Level 1 FXs it loads it as Green Screamer..

I have the same..the hardware has updated, which shows fine on a rig manager on a desktop.

However…on iOS rig manager…it doesn’t.

On the previous one my unit didn’t go to the next bank when you pressed “next rig” on slot 5.

The only issue I have left is that lvl 2/3 efx and the extra banks, don’t show up in iOS rm.
