  • PySwitch Firmware for PaintAudio MIDI Captain

    I used the OS yesterday with my Mini 6 @ a gig and it was fantastic! Seamless and reliable.

    What would be great:

    • the opportunity to display the fx that are assigned to the three buttons of my Player as well as with the combo buttons
    • Indicate a morph by changing the color of the central display (e.g. black while not morphed with white letters and red while morphed with black letters).

    Hi Eric,

    that is all I can see in the "input.py":

    Thanks in advance.

  • PySwitch Firmware for PaintAudio MIDI Captain

    I gave up trying to connect it in „real time“ and always use the PA Mini 6 as USB drive. You can store your setups in the software as well as directly in any folder. That means I always load the latest version and then store changes directly on the PA Mini 6. Works like a charm.

    I am also using the booster stomp. Amazing although it is difficult to adjust.

    Still would like to have a logo on boot up but that might be no longer possible with the Python Version?!

    What I figured out: although I have Version 2.4.8 I only could use the emulator 2.4.7 to work with my PA Mini 6.

  • Noise when Switching with Paint Audio Mini 6

    I have the problem when switching my player with the Paint Audio Mini 6 that ‘switching noises’ occur at irregular intervals when I switch from one rig to another within a bank. It also doesn’t matter whether I switch from distortion to clean or from distortion to distortion. I actually only know this from the analog world. Does anyone have the same problem and ideally a solution? The Kemper Player and Paint Audio are powered via a Cioks 7 and are connected via a USB cable. The Player is running OS 13 and the Paint Audio is running ‘OS’ 3.6.

  • Volume adjustment for Fixed Wah in dB

    Normally, I used to add 2–3 dB when using the wah effect in the slots. I really like having a wah in the fixed FX, as it frees up one slot. However, it feels like the wah, due to its filters, slightly reduces the overall volume.

    Would it be possible to add a volume adjustment to the fixed wah to boost it by a few dB? That would be very helpful.

  • Official repair costs?

    I think it is impossible to provide serious numbers in your case. There are only two options. Leave it dead at your house or provide it to Kemper to get a dedicated price for a repair from the OEM.

    As an example I don’t think any workshop would provide useful information if you would say „my car is dead. Tell my a price for repair and then maybe I’ll bring it to you.“. Especially with electronics nobody knows the problem without inspection. Give them a chance to sort it out or try to find a dealer they cooperate with.

    Best regards

  • Zuweisung von Effektblöcken im Rig Manager

    Quote from Kellerblues

    Es ist schon da. Rig menu, bis unten scrollen

    Indeed, but one improvement would be to make the layout clearer. E.g. what FX should be on and of while pressed. There is no real overview. As well as an assigning of what FX should be triggered no matter where in the FX-chain a certain fix (e.g. Phaser) is located. That is what I can do with a midi controller. Best of both worlds would be a great benefit.

  • Synth effects

    Quote from Finally

    I disagree strongly from my use case. My powered toaster doesn't leave me wanting any of the things that are deficiencies for you.

    You can't seriously believe that there are creative reasons to not do this (not a keyboard player...)?? It's just an expanded palette.

    It is my subjective opinion that I prefer functionalities over new/more fx. And I would not write it if I would’t think that way. Nothing one has to worry about.

  • Gig/Set List view in Rig Manager app

    I made a thread for something comparable:

    Thread

    Rig Manager: Add naming of player banks like performances

    With Level III it gets so complicated to remember the specific ideas of each bank. It would be amazing if I could name the banks in rig manager for the player. Best if that could be transferred to the smartphone app as well. Don’t know if we need a kind of cloud data storage for that.

    So keep the bank numbers and add a function for individual free text to ease my workflow.

    Thank you Kemper Team.

    Maybe this would also help as it could provide guidance for what the 5 rigs are used. Surely no naming helps if someone is not using any kind of display with the Player.
