    Kemper + midi pedalboard > PC Windows 10


    Kemper + midi pedalboard work fine. Then I switch ON Rig Manager. Everything works fine. But when switching off RM, Kemper freezes. Impossible to to change on Midi pedalboard nor directly on the Toaster rigs.


    If I switch on RM once again, it works back fine...


    If I reboot the Kemper, everything works fine.


    Bug Operation 100% repeatable.


    I go back to last release versions (concerts very soon)


    RM 3.3.50 and OS 8.7.20 don't have this bug here. Appeared with the beta version just after

    where is this preset!!!

    here :


    As per Liam's quotes :


    " Lexicon PCM70 Circular Delays Preset - Steve Lukather's main delay setting instead of using reverb.

    As close as I can get, Lexicon preset has 42% Diffusion (smear) on the repeats, this option isn't available in the Kemper Rhythm Delay, at least not yet.


    To get close to the diffusion/smear you may want to place a room reverb or reverb of your choice after the delay and set the Del/Rev mix to only effect the delay tails and not the dry guitar then dial the amount of reverb to taste, usually around 20% to 40%. This is a work around but doesn't sound as nice and spacey as the smear parameter on some of the other delays. Here's hoping its eventually included on all the delays. You could also try some high cut that may make the delay tails disperse in a similar manner to try and simulate smear.


    I understand why the Rhythm Delay works on a ratio or note division format, but for this preset would have been much easier if I could have just dialed in 888ms, 584ms and 292ms, but the percentage settings are spot on to these times. Due to the way the feedback function works in the Quad Delay won't be able to recreate this effect, the Rhythm Delay however seems to be the only way to pull this off.


    Make sure the TO TEMPO is off.


    This should make the delay run around you head in a "circular" manner, initial note comes center from the guitar, then the taps pan left, then to right, then to the center and back around again.


    Delay: Rhythm delay

    Mix: 30% (or to taste)

    Feedback: 30

    Low cut: NO CUT

    High cut: NO CUT (Lexicon is set to 15kH, which is no cut on that unit)

    Note Val 1 = 32.8%

    Note Val 2 = 65.7%

    Note Val 3 = NOT NEEDED

    Note Val 4 = 888ms

    To Tempo: Unchecked

    Volume 1: 5

    Volume 2: 10

    Volume 3: 0 (NOT NEEDED)

    Volume 4: 10

    Panorama 1: -100 (HARD LEFT)

    Panorama 2: +100 (HARD RIGHT)

    Panorama 3: 0 (NOT NEEDED)

    Panorama 4: 0 (CENTER)

    Stereo: 100%

    Modulation: 0

    Flutter Intensity: 0

    Flutter Rate: 5.0

    Ducking: 0


    Hope you enjoy.


    PS Try it with some headphones! "

    use the QUAD DELAY and this info:


    "The first delay is 292ms, damped 3db, and panned to the right
    Second one is 584ms, and panned to the left.
    Third one is 888ms, and panned to the middle."


    set Delay 4 Time to 1000ms ('To Tempo' box unchecked) and turn it's Volume to '0'
    then the Delay Ratios are easily derived (29,2%, 58,4% and 88,8%)

    After some years using it, I would tend to prefer rhythm delay over quad delay, as Liam uses it. Repeats tend to have a better definition


    Liam Thompson's preset is amazing, I just prefer to get the volume 4 quite low (2.5) to get a better definition of the center sound.

    My go-to delay preset is a circular one. I took this from someone in the forum a long time ago and I tweaked it a little.

    Time 888ms

    Ratio 1 32.8%

    Hi, long short story.

    As I changed pick and strings gauge lately (switched from Dunlop JazzIIIXL Stiffo and 10-46 to Fender 358 Heavy and 09-42), I decided today to check how different amp blocks could fit better to this change. Then I had an idea : I picked my trusty Main Lead rig, and I decided to lock everything except of the amp block, then I scrolled down Rig exchange. Only amp block changed and instant different flavours, but still very close of what I like. First conclusion, finally amp block is much less important than cab block. Anyway... then I arrived on a R.U. Sirius Mesa quad LD2* profile made in 2015, and instantly I felt I was on the right amp profile. Perfect combination with the rest of my main rig, and the feel and tone I wanted. Rig here included.


    Enjoy

    This is only my opinion. Well purchasing a new device which emulates sounds which are from 20 to 70 years old... I have learned to be happy with what I have and how to optimize it at full potential. In fact I am fully happy with Kemper when I use also the amp parameters which bring me the "feel" I want, not only the "sound". I tested the Quad Cortex, which sounds also good. I would have to spend hours and hours to find exactly what I want, and I prefer spending this time playing and composing...

    Finally investing 1500-2000€ in a new device which doesn't bring me something new sonically, I don't want (and my wife neither, hahaha)

    Thanks very much for the profiles. They sound great.



    Wow, djemass, can you share the tweaks? I really liked your tweaked JP profiles in the past.


    Hi to give more life to the Mesa tones, in amp parameters : generally gain at 7,5, definition at 6,5, then power sag at 3, then in the amp page where there is bias, clarity set at 4, and finally used tube shape at 10 and bias at 10 also. Set the space at 1,7 with headphones. Sometimes, I boost slightly the amp volume at +2db. I switched off also all the studio eq and gate of Meambobbo in order to get the closest of the naked profile.


    In input section, with my Di Marzio, I like dist sens at +2. Works for me, but perhaps not for you.


    Also I transferred some cabs of these profiles in some of my own profiles, and also worked great.


    the sneep profile and the temple were great for leads for instance
