  • USB Audio Sample Rate

    Quote from dylantorres

    I believe they do know... A lot. It's common digital audio knowledge, my implication.


    The Kemper Profiler USB Audio should support all sample rates. For all users needs. It should not be a compromise.

    I don't use the Kemper as an audio interface so it doesn't matter to me; I don't use the S/PDIF either.. I'm using a 32 channel digital mixer. Just a short time ago the Kemper didn't even have USB audio and I never gave it a second thought. The mixer can operate at 44.1 or 48 but I still use 44.1 because of the devices mentioned in my previous post and my ear doesn't hear the difference anyway. Looks like for now if you have to have higher sample rates your only options are to use S/PDIF or invest in gear that can handle it.

  • USB Audio Sample Rate

    Sample rates higher than 44.1 will encounter some issues on many playback devices. Most all playback devices can handle 44.1. When I make my backing tracks (on SD cards or usb stick)they will not play on my loopers or my drum machine.

  • Main outputs level difference

    Quote from Robert Szenfeld

    Hi . I have noticed difference of volumes right and left channels main outputs via XLR in my Kemper stage. I didn't find any adjustments in output section to correct this difference . The difference is about 5dB .. Using headphones everything is ok .

    Could anybody please let me know if is adjustable, and if so - where to find this set up.

    If not ... maybe is simply broken ?

    Many thanks in advance .

    What are you running the L/R xlr's into? When you say "The difference is about 5dB", where do you meter it? It could be the problem is the gain pots on the board/ interface. Does this happen for all profiles? Check each channel one at a time and set the gain to -18db on the meter for each channel and the see if all channels are set the same on the gain pots.


    One way to adjust is raise the gain on the channel that is lower or lower the gain on the one that is louder. I'm talking about the gain setting on the mixing board or interface the Kemper is plugged into. Don't link the 2 channels together or you won't be able to control separate gain settings.


    But if the cause of the imbalance is due to an internal setting on the Kemper, the problem should be corrected there first and the above would not need apply.

  • Kemper Stage for sale in Florida

    Local sale only in Crestview Fl. 2 years old; listed for $950. I bought it used from a member on the Steel Guitar forum almost 2 years ago for $1400 including shipping. I'm old and just purchased a Fender Tone Master Pro. I also bought a new Kemper Rack unit earlier this year and I only use one Dumble profile I found on Rig exchange and the profiles I made of my own amps so having 2 Kempers is overkill since I hardly ever leave the house because of health issues in my old age.

  • Kempers are dropping in price

    I'm selling my Stage because I have a Rack now and I bought a Fender Tone Master Pro. I'm 74 and don't really need that much gear. I bought the Stage 2 years ago from a member on the Steel Guitar Forum and don't have "proof of purchase".

  • Tuner in RM

    I would prefer that Kemper spent their time on modeling more tone stacks. I have been playing for over 60 years, tuning is the first thing I learned, it's a simple operation that only takes a few seconds and I don't keep guitars that go out of tune easily. Besides that, computer monitors produce EMI.

  • What exactly does Definition (really) do?

    Quote from Dynochrome

    I challenge you to "just use your ears" and see if you can tell if the low or high harmonics (or overtones) are being distorted. You can report your perception of what's happening but not technically what the control does.

    First of all, it's only a suggestion/question, I don't even know if it's possible to change the sound of a loop by changing the controls after the loop is made. I don't use the Kemper that way, I only play music and try to avoid tweaking as much as possible. Something either sounds good to me or it doesn't, I don't need to be challenged by anybody about it.


    If you can't hear a difference then the control is useless. A definition of terms is useless as well, the sound is only perceived by the ears.

  • Searching Rig Exchange in Rig Manager

    How is this supposed to work? It can't seem to find it's ass with both hands. Most useless function I've seen in any software.


    If I go to the Rig Exchange page and search for "Dumble" I find some Dumbles but in Rig Manager it finds nothing (I am searching "All Tags"). Same for most things I search for.


    Is there some "trick" that I need to be aware of?

  • Rig Manager for Android Public Beta Test Discussion

    The app works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S7, the only android device I have. It works with both my Stage and Rack units. I only had to connect to the networks the different units are connected to. The network for MY Stage is "KP Stage" (the name of my Stage unit) and the network for the Rack unit is "Starbase", (the name of the network my Rack unit and X 32 mixer are connected to. The app sees either profiler as soon as it connects to the associated network.
