the new v4.6 firmware solves this. Just got to await a stable release. At the time of writing this, v4.6 was released a couple of weeks ago with this feature but was riddled with bugs so was soon after withdrawn.

Nice video! I was dreaming about simply connecting the Arduino Micro (which as I understand can do MIDI via USB) directly to the USB-A port, which then powers the Arduino and receives MIDI control changes. However, I can not get it to work. I guess the Player requires one of those MIDI to USB dongles? Sorry if this was obvious, I am new to MIDI 🙂

i tried the arduino-to-kemper-via-usb method too but also didnt get it working. Apparently you need to reflash the arduino to make it a class-compliant midi device in order for the kemper to recognise it as such. I have not done this myself and use a usb-to-midi adapter

Hello, i apreciate all your videos. Can you explain the diference betwen the wi-fi and hotspot function from BBeat? Thanx
@SLATEB0Y
@SLATEB0Y 15 күн бұрын
sorry, i dont know much about that at this time. I have no experience with this. However, what i understand that is the device can connect via wi-fi if you connect it to an external router via network cable and then "hop on" to that network, wifi or cabled. I believe the "hot spot" allows you to connect your wireless device direct to the b-beat (as a wifi hotspot!) without the need for additional equipment. Please check the manual or contact their support for a more accurate answer. here is my wireless demo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLR-pMZmp9DSgI0.html

Last few years been buying & selling a ton of modelers, all the big names, and while all are great in their own way, the Kemper is the only one that I end up staring up the speakers after tracking them on playback. The overdrives on a good Kemper have something indescribable to them, like a richness or resonance or something. All of these modelers sound very good today, but those Kemper overdrive captures are really special.

@SLATEB0Y Hi, I to am involved with professional touring shows and this looks pretty much like the thing to get. I do have a couple of questions about it that I hope you could help with. When you press play does the playback start immediately? We have to start some of our clicks mid song and tap the play button at the same time as playing the hi hat. Quite a lot of the software ipad players had a short delay (maybe 1/3 to 1/2 a second) and was way too much. Do you know if theres now an option so that the play button ONLY starts the track. If it double fires for whatever reason, it shouldnt do anything else, like skip to the next track. We've been using a denon SD card player, and after years in vans, dust on stage etc, every now and then you press it and the switch isnt debounced properly and it can immediately pause (the denons play button behaviour is play/pause). Similarly with the stop button. IMHO that should also be able to be set to just pause. You can get to next track or restart the track using jog wheel etc. Maybe a second tap to stops ok, but as you pointed out that third tap to exit the show is ridiculous. Has that issue been fixed? Thanks
@SLATEB0Y
@SLATEB0Y Ай бұрын
hi, thanks for your interest. I have always found the unit starts as soon as you press play- no delay. Apparently the new firmware (4.5) starts even quicker (pre-loads videos for this purpose) though i have no complaints with it as it was before. (4.1) The play button can skip to the next track ONLY if you double-tap it. As its a physical button it needs physical-intention to do this, unlike a touch-screen that may easily get double-triggered Regarding the stop button, you have understood. However, if you are in "live mode" you can not exit the setlist. hitting stop once is pause, a second hit rewinds to frame one of the video ready to restart that song. In live mode you can go no further but you can then use the up/down arrows to get the next song and (owing to a bug in the 4.5 firmware) the holding-screen does not appear. We therefore press stop a 3rd time (no using live mode) to exit the playlist and to display our holding-screen image. It only takes a couple of seconds to re-enter the playlist and get the next song running. I think they will fix this very soon though. Please check out my other b-beat videos if you havent done yet. Might answer further questions. Disclaimer: I offer no tec-support and have no affiliation with the company but happy to share my findings and experience with you.

Love the MBeat, actually im on a big Live Band and yesterday just before the Show we had a problem with the power supply. It was turning on but not leaving the Inicial Logo, So no Play, Stop, Playlist, nothing. But still light up and have power. Sundely i tried to put my Powerbank of my phone ant guess what, it works, so for now, 5 months after, the power supply dead on me, not enough power on the Ac adapter i guess. Just ordered another on amazon. Ugreen. But anyway is a good product, to bad the power suply is not stronger. Now i ordered another Mbeat for backup Spare, we never know and also the power supply extra..Cheers and nice video. ;)

Probably you saw FW4.1 was released by PaintAudio that now includes name sync. Nicely played. Being new to Midi Captain etc. I have a puzzle for you that I'd love to see you cover or suggest how I might solve. Let's say I have a Midi Captain Std, a Kemper Player and fx units on my board, a Strymon BigSky mx and a Dig v2. Can I have a button press switch both the rig on the Kemper Player as well as the presets on the Strymon delay and reverb units? Or even how would I reprogram the 2 or 3 button to do that with multiple presses? Thank you.
@SLATEB0Y
@SLATEB0Y Ай бұрын
I’m not Tec support, far from it, you would be better asking the developer. However, I believe it should be possible if you use the usb to the Kemper player and the MIDI-din connector for the other gear. Then send multi MIDI messages on the chosen button but have each device on its own MIDI channel.

What is the midi for the +3db Boost Rig
@SLATEB0Y
@SLATEB0Y 2 ай бұрын
Note this does not boost the value by +3dB but rather sets the rig-volume value to +3dB therefore the amount of change will be dependant on the initial value. Mine are stored as 0dB by default so there is a +3dB change To set rig volume to +3dB, you will need to send NRPN parameter 513 to value of 10255. This can be achieves with these midi CC commands; CC99=4 CC98=1 CC6=80 CC38=0 if you want to set rig-volume to 0dB send this midi data: CC99=4 CC98=1 CC6=64 CC38=0

Not faulty- Having consulted the developers, this latest issue is by design to pre-load videos rather than waiting for the play-button to be pressed. Therefore the first frame of the video is on screen immediately. This makes sense. However, this doesnt suit everyones situation, as described in the video

Not to my knowledge. The Kemper remote uses an ethernet connection which the player does not have. A standard midi controller would be the option with the addition of a USB-to-MIDI adapter, like this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLx2qLKcvsfQe3U.htmlsi=r8vKutExvhm70eRj&t=303

Sorry to disappoint you. This was a demo to show the potential of the guitar.

@SLATEB0Y
@SLATEB0Y 2 ай бұрын
the midi out is on a 1/8" jack (no midi in). To control various items you'd be best to have each piece of gear on its own midi channel. The hard task is programming your midi sequence to do all these jobs. You may wish to split your midi rather than run them all in series.
