Kemper Rig Manager Tutorial, Shortcuts & Tips 

good pearls of wisdom right here.

Simply the best guide I have seen on you tube. No waffle, really clear instruction. Thanks Dan!

Thanks so much, mate, this was brilliant! I'm embarrased to say I've had my Profiler for a year and a half now, and I wasn't aware of more than half of all the great tips you've shared here. For example, I had no idea you could create performances in the Rig Manager. What a time-saver. Cheers!

Your vids have been SO helpful in figuring this all out. Also, your profiles kick ass! Always looking for more insights and info... cheers

I'm new to the kemper world just bought one after years if wanting one, and this is a huge help, thankyou🤙🏽

I love how you get to the point...no BS!

Just got my Kemper Stage today. Your videos prepared me a bit, and now i'm continuing with them now that i can actually follow along with something in-hand. I'm subscribing right now-your videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you, sir.

Thanks so much Dan, this is incredibly helpful. You’ve saved me and others a LOT of time. Great stuff man!

Nice one! This is a great video that helps me enormously. I find it easier to learn from videos than reading manuals. Subscribed!

Fantastic and very helpful. Thanks for showing this newbie the freeze setting!!!!

that opening lick profile has kind of a Lukenbach Texas sound to it.

Just upgraded the OS on the KEMPER to 8.0x and am starting new on the Rig Manager. This was helpful - thank you. I think I will have to watch it a bit more while experimenting real time so I can absorb it all. But so far it looks exceptionally handy. easier then tinkering around with the knobs on the face of the unit. which is not too difficult once you get the hang of it.

Nice work dude. I haven't dabbled that much with doing it this way but now that's the rest of my evening covered!

Better than kempers official videos !

This really helps as I just picked up a Kemper Stage and I’m still learning how to use it.

Great tips thanx Dan. I love the "T" for toggle effect off & on & using the arrow buttons for rig navigation & auto loading - Cheers. I am not sure if you can do this on a mac, but you can open a separate window from left side (especially useful with two screens) & drag drop a rig from one window to the other; for example, new performance slots.

Very Helpful

Just bought a kemper, your videos has helped alot.

Big help. Thanks. Just got a Kemper Stage.

Great video, simply very informative. Cheers Dan.

Thanks for the help, like the shortcuts!

Hi Dan thanks for another great vid, after watching ,I plugged in the MacBook and hey presto 👍👍👍👍 I learnt about morphing from your vid ,but have been programming the head itself . Take care and keep up the good work Baz

You are so very helpful, Dan! Thank you.

Good explanations Tipps and Tricks. Thank you. Greetings from Germany

Thanks Dan. I lost my mojo to play two years ago but feel it's on it's way back, and lo and behold - rig manager's got a graphical interface now! Can't wait to install it and pick up one of my axes again :) Cheers

Really helpful video, thanks!

Really useful and concise tutorial, thanks.

Nice one Dan, keep em coming.

Great video. Helped a LOT.

Hi Dan, "simply" Brilliant. Thank you for this Rig (manager) Run Down, I thought I had worked out all the ways of using Rig Manager but "No", yet again you have shown me some stuff I didn't know. I don't think your playing was up to much this time, Lol. Thank you again.

Great video. Great content at a good pace. Apprecaite!!

top vid Dan

Great to the point content 👍

If there’s a lot out there on getting rig manager and the kemper hooked up on my MacBook, I’d be greatful for a link. I SIMPLY can’t find that anywhere!!

My son has an older axe fx and is now wanting a kemper. I would have believed axefx was just as good regardless of age for metal. I guess times are changing as always. New is new. Hahaha

This is super helpful and really opens up the Kemper effects. Could anyone help me with a morphing question? I press cmd on my mac keyboard and can then change the toe and heel values. I don't know how to exit this mode though. Every time I go to another parameter, I am still in morph mode. Would really like to know what I'm doing wrong. Cheers again!

FYI.. this is IMPORTANT... you can only DUPLICATE a LOADED RIG. You can't just duplicate a rig that is selected, it must be LOADED for PREVIEW with the headphones. This is does not work like a typical file browser. If the RIG is not not loaded, the DUPLICATE BUTTON will not appear. YOU CAN ONLY duplicate a RIG that is stored in you LOCAL LIBRARY.. so you would have to copy a rig from a RIG PACK to your local library before duplicating. Thanks for your tutorial.

Hello!! Great video!! Can I ask you a question? My band does around a 100 tunes. My question is that it seems that each rigs output volume to the board is never consistent. Our sound person has to tweak my volume on virtually every song. Any thought on how to level that out so it behaves like a miked amp? Thank you!!

Good, on point video 🙂

I do have a question. How can I change the value of the Transpose with the key board. Know how with th mouse, but can a bit hard hitting the right number. There must be a way the key board. Thank you...BTW Love your profiles wayne

Is morph rise and fall time adjustable via the rig manager? I can't seem to find this question answered anywhere.

Dan a quick Kemper question for you when you get a minute. What speaker setting would you recommend for recording on a DAW. Pure cabinet on or pure cabinet off...? Cheers

cool video👍. suggestion: if u open a second window u should be able to drag&drop a rig into a performance, wouldn’t thar work?

OK, I've got a question for you. I'm using my Kemper stage and rig manager on a Windows PC. I sync back and forth update 1 to the other, seamless and easy. Then my laptop dies. I grab my ipad which has a different, outdated set of rigs from the same stage unit. No big deal, I keep working and editing as I always have . Now I get my Windows PC back from repair and I plug it in.... does the profiler PUSH TO the PC, or does the PC push the old versions to the profiler?

Thanks !

As a new user. Why did they place a restart to default in place of initialize button xd just lost some ready to go performance :p

Dan I realsie this was an overview of the rig manager in general. I'm new to Kemper and was a bit dissapointed in some of the sounds available whenI first went into Rig Exchange as well as the Rigs already on the Kemper that I bought. Had discovered the Cabinet adjustment and your right very little movement makes a huge difference as does the Direct Mix and the Definition Key. Inthe end rigs that I wasn't impressed iwth became quite nice after I phaphed about with the various controls.. Have you done a video that goes into these controls in more depth same question for Freeze etc in the remote... Very helpful video thank you again..

Sir I have done gp rating course.... And have Indian cdc.......i will join as a roustabout and can I became rig manager without any bachelor's degree

Hello and thank you, I can only agree with everyone else. I've been using a helix so far. For a few days to "try" the Kemper. the presets alone are absolutely great. Turn on cool sound. Don't tweak so much until you hear something good. Top video about RigManager in German is hard to find, then came across this video. First understand the new terms. You think there are only a few buttons;) But then it's different. I only have very few amps under "All Presets>"? Is that correct ? How do I build my own new ones, uh, now it's called rigs (under Line6 Presets, ggrr) thx from German

The real shortcoming here is the storing process (at least in my system) Only sometimes the stuff I edit in the editor will be stored in my KEMPER Stage. Either the storing workflow is too complicated for my simple mind or there is something wrong.

Hi excelent video thanks for posting it. Is there a way to change the amp in a performance? I can right click on the effects and change them but it seems there is no option to choose a different amp.

I'm missing the DUPLICATE FUNCTION??.. nice tutorial btw.

Hi Dan, is there any quick way to navigate through effects in real time to compare them? Anytime I select a reverb it just comes off the menu and if I wanna try something else I need to go all the way back into the menu. Cheers!

I could never figure out why it wouldn't save performances. I even tried updating the firmware again but it just wouldn't save so I got rid of it. Too bad. It would've been ideal for me.

thanks this was great i just got my stage also do you know where i could find good bass rig profiles

Hi when i use the rig manager on the kpr i cant see the setting of the effect down of the screen any idea

How do I copy my local library to another computer? I have bought a new mac and I can't manage to keep the local library I have in my old iMac in my new laptop.

I just connected my rig manager and updated it, there's a yellow warning sign next to my profiler and won't let me use it. Any idea what could be going on?

Dan great video for me as a newbie to the KPA. I just bought a 2nd hand kemper today and don't know how to add my profile / my kemper. Does it creat a 'file' when I link my Kemper with a USB Cable..?

Ground control to Major Dan....can you hear me, Major Dan ?
