This Addendum Manual is organized by operating system release and takes an incremental approach. If you are already familiar with the Quick Guide as well as the Main Manual and just want to learn, what is new about the latest operating system revision, you will find information related to new features in this document in a very condensed fashion. Any operating system download package does include an electronic copy of the corresponding Addendum. What is new in version 8.6? 2 What is new in version 8.6? OS 8.6 is the latest operating system for the KEMPER PROFILERTM, and is available as a free download from www.kemper-amps.com All PROFILER Stage™ units can generally be upgraded in one step. All other PROFILER models running OS 7.3 and higher can be upgraded in one step, too. Check the OS version currently installed on the last page of System Settings. PROFILER Head, Rack, PowerHead™ and PowerRack™ models running OS versions before 7.3 need to be upgraded in two steps. First install OS 7.3, then upgrade to OS 8.6. F If you need to do this, you can find OS 7.3 on the download page under “Older Software Versions”. Double Tracker The KEMPER™ Double Tracker turns your guitar performance into a stereo, double-tracked signal in real time, as if two guitarists were playing the same track left and right. While most double trackers use a traditional combination of chorus and delay to create timing and pitch differences between the tracks, KEMPER utilize a dedicated time-stretching algorithm to create the crucial timing variations, independent of the pitch fluctuations. A little pinch of random timbre variance complements the perfect double tracker experience. As a novelty, KEMPER has added the "super stereo" effect that was initially introduced with the new delay algorithms in OS version 5.0. It massively widens the stereo panorama of the double tracking, making the tracks appear far beyond the regular stereo image. The Double Tracker is best enjoyed in spread stereo, as you tend to find in professional recording mixes. For this reason, we recommend placing it post stack section. What is new in version 8.6? 3 Looseness Sets the tightness or looseness of the double tracking timing. Detune Adds a slight additional detuning to the two tracks, in the style of an Air Chorus. The Detune is just an option and not essential for perfect double tracking.
