Does the solution could not be a Mesa Mark liquid profile to select ?

Take a look at this vid ;

At 9", they explain how to link those fixed effects to switches.... I have not seen what the midi code is for an external midi controler...

I disliked Leo's modelers comparisons cause he uses his own IRs and when i buy a unit, i want to know if it's a good one on its own but in this vid ;

I don't see any IRs reference ? He compares the entire chain cloned

I really hope it's a software problem....

But this matter should have been the first thing to solve.

I don't understand why 5 months after buying my unit it's still there ?!

It's really boring to stream my music and having to restart my Player 5 times cause it crashes. This concern alone raises concerns about the reliability of the device.

The only solution for the moment is NOT to use bluetooth (in my case without wifi it crashes too)... It's incomprehensible for a 700€ (to 1000€) unit...

IMO, we are turning in circles with marketing terms....

And to be precise, on Kemper's website it's written ; "More than 100,000 individual frequency points meticulously analyzed for the most powerful amp recreation ever achieved.". The word "recreation" is important in this sentence....

Whatever the term used, we all know that it means more accurate....

The first thing that will happen when new profiling will be launched is that many Utubers will compare it to an original amp and VS competitors and Leo Gibson will do his tests....

We all know it and Kemper knows it too....

The most important for me is to know what will be the gap between mark I and mark II, for sound and capabilities.....

If you don't need the smallest device ; Stage with no hesitation

It's going to be tricky because some will want 25%, 33%, 50%, 66%, 75%, 87%.... And all values between....

And we will have to save those values rig per rig, and to remember what value we saved for each rig....

If we've got 3 rigs no problem, if it's 50, it starts becoming a nightmare.

As we say here, sometimes "the best is the enemy of the good"

A little pressure for Kemper Team

IMO, you should have waited....

Kemper has announced summer, but what is the problem if it needs more time ? They take their time but launch really great updates !!! And if they've told profiles will be better (closer), they will !

I don't know what you own, meaning, do you already have a Player (as it's already markII) ?

I'm sure that there will be a difference by measurement, the question is : will we be able to hear it ? As the previous devices will be able to play new profiles, what will be the gap ?

As you underline, the difference between mark I & II is light (and i don't even understand some stuffs/limitations) ?! I'm impatient to wait and see what happens....

I consider mark II as a slow evolution for the moment, it's a good/logical buy if you expected to buy a head/rack/stage

Edit ; piotrmaj was faster

Welcome to the familly !

Enjoy this wonderful device and Kemper sounds !!!

PS: If you can, try to be lent a FRFR or a monitoring speaker

There are many reviews by poeple who has bought the ToneX cab on TGP that seem to be mixed....

Many prefer Fender FR-10/12.

If you only have Kemper units, i would recommend a Kone (for a DIY Kabinet (that i did)), a Kabinet or a Power-Kabinet

I had a Helix LT + a Powercab before that is the only else rig i know can provide "amp in the room" (or is said to have non-mic'd sims).

The "split" is done differently at L6, cause the unmiced speaker simulation is integrated in the Powercab ; the advantage is that you can use it with every modeler you want, they're all amplified, you will be able to have an "amp in the room" greenback, blue alnico, creamback.....The dowside is, you have to change all your presets and disable your cabs ; when you have a combo model, it's just a nightmare.... And they are amplified (the price's not the same)...

All that to say, you can use it the same way as a Profiler and a Kabinet.

On stage, you can send your sound to the mix table via an XLR output from the Powercab... In this situation, a mic simulation is automatically applies (you can choose which mic you want)....

I don't know if it's by convention, but no modeler yet, sends a "raw" signal to the PA.

IMO, the difference is negligeable. It can be important for guitarists cause there's an interaction with their instruments in the playing...The sound is more direct, less distant.... But for the crowd, i assume it does'nt matter.

I think the main important thing is to have a correspondance between imprint and rig speaker simulation.

Ho, you're right ! Sorry, i'm confused, i thought it could work as Volume-->Wah

Hi V8guitar ,

I have a Player and a midi Captain 10 too.

I don't play so much with Morph feature for the moment and my Midi Captain is set by default.

You can :

1) Set a Player switch to activate/disable wah feature and keep Wah-->Morph pedal feature, but you "loose" a switch

2) Use Midi captain pedal inputs by default (One for volume, the other for Wah (need to have another dedicated wah pedal if it's not the case). Plug your Morph pedal into the Kemper pedal input and set the Player for this only use. I've tried it once, it's the most simple in my opinion.

3) Check this thread and the programmation they made, press another time the rig switch and it goes to Morph position ;

PySwitch - An alternative, customizable firmware for PaintAudio MIDI Captain Controllers - Page 31 - MIDI Controllers and Footswitches for your Profiler - Kemper Profiler Forum

I have not loaded this program yet, but it seems to be a good improvement.

I hope this helps....

Some weird info on this thread. You can totally use the Player for effects only and it works well (although you don't have many footswitches), I do this often if there already is an amp at the venue; just disable the amp + cab modules and use drive/effects in the front of your amp.

When i see OP's answer above (+ the fact he plays with a head + cab), it could be fair to tell him more than "Yes, you can use the PP for your use"....

He can buy a Kemper Stage and only activates drive section if he wants... Is it the best solution ? I don't think so....

IMO, it could be important to tell him basics and that profilers (or modelers) are also made to get rid of traditional amps/cabs/combos....

They've got amp/cab sims inside. The improvements during years have been phenomenal and sims are very close to real....

You CAN use a traditional combo and disable the amp/cab section in the profiler (it's possible but should be considered as an option).

On the other side, you can use the profiler with amp/cabs section (And it's really strong in this part).

If you use a traditional speaker, all your sounds will be colored, cause the speaker has an important incidence on the sound. You will have to disable your simulation speaker cause you can't have a greenback going into your laney, etc... So all your sounds will be closer. A Fender amp sim into your Laney speaker, a Marshal amp sim into your Laney, and so on....

The reason why some here adviced to buy a monitor or a FRFR. the speaker is neutral and when you switch from a greenback to a jensen, you'll hear the difference...

Things to know too :

- Player is limited at level 1 for number of slots, number of rigs, number of kind of FXs... You can upgrade it but it's not free....

- Player has got no loop (yet), it seems not to be a problem cause you don't have loop on your amp (Imo it's important too cause a delay/chorus after or before the amp is not the same...)

I don't want to make you run away and prevent you from buying a Kemper unit (they are really great) but you should really think about your specifications :

- Do you want to try amp/cab sims ? Do you think you could play without your amp/Laney ? If NOT, choose a multi-FXs without amp/cab sims....

-If you want to try sims world ; Do you use your device for gigs or rehearsals ? Do you want to have all Kemper's features (meaning going to level 3 for Player) ? If the answer is Yes, i would recommand the Stage instead, it's more expensive but the ergonomic is SOOOOOOO wonderful ; it's a stage beast !!!!

- If you have not enough money to buy a Stage, just stay at home, don't need a lot of rigs (presets (but i don't know if you can say it before)), don't need all slots, all FXs, etc... the bigger units have, you can consider the Player

Have you checked spams ?

Support is pretty helpfull and answer usually quickly

Yes, you can increase or decrease the gain with "morph" position following your needs.

You just have to select toe or heel position (blue or red) and set the gain you want

The problem is that the Player doesn't have a browser AND a performance mode.

I assume some have just a pool of rigs, they browse. But i join you, it would be more easy if you resonate in term of Perfomrance, to have the possibility to drag and drop your 5 rigs alltogether wherever you want....

Maybe a tick somewhere to give the choice between Performance and Browse....

Considering that these efx are already considered sub-standard to Kemper and Fractal, I am surprised at how little scrutiny this aspect has been given.

Kemper MK2 on the other hand inherits the super good quality verbs and delays of the MK1.

Honestly, i've rather read the opposite that L6 was better in this part.

I had one Helix LT before, and personnally, never regret my Helix reverb/delay FXs (i really like Kemper's delay/reverb) but i have often read that L6 was better. I know that i should not trust in forums but this is the same thing that drove me to Kemper Verse after reading every times that for amp/cab section, Kemper was the best....

• I would change my stage MK1 only if the difference is so big, that everyone could hear and feel that.

IMO, you can forget this from today. I'm pretty sure that no-one will come and tell you ; "your sound is OK but could be better, ha, you've got a mark I, i understand !"

You have to find new arguments for your wife

There's an interesting question behind this. The announced improvement seems to tell that the Profile will be closer to the original. So we gonna see a lot of vids to prove it's right and i know it'll be. But it's gonna be a difference game, meaning compare Profile mark I to amp to mark II.... It'll be easy to hear if there's a perceived difference or not....

But a profile with some FXs (drive/modulation/comp/delay) in a contexte of band in gigs....IMO, it will be harder to discerne....

The main thing i like the most about my Profilers is the "Feeling" i have with them, don't know if it will change something in this field too ?!

Quote from Mickg65

I'm not sure if it's the language barrier, but this reads that after updating, you are currently on version 7.3.2?

The latest official version is 12.1.2.

You can download version 12.1.2 from the "Download" section of the Kemper website, and it is safe to updare to this version directly from version 7.3.2.

Please update to the latest version of the OS and Rig manager, then write here if you still have the same problem.

I hope this helps. 🙂

I remember there have been one update which was a must to go upper version (before 8.0, i thinkl, don't remember).... Maybe the reason one the update is not the last one ?!
