How to load presets on the Kemper Stage

Back up first, then load your SoundShop presets on the Kemper Stage with the steps below.

This guide has 4 steps, start to finish. A printable PDF of it is also in every pack download.

The steps

1. Get Rig Manager and update

Rig Manager is Kemper's free companion app for Mac and Windows. Download it below, connect your Stage's USB type B port to your computer with a standard USB cable, switch the Stage on and open Rig Manager. If it asks to install a software update, make the backup in step 2 first, then accept it.

2. Back up your Stage

Kemper's full backup is made on a USB stick, not in Rig Manager. Plug a stick into the Stage's USB type A port and wait for USB Stick on the display (formatting a stick erases it). In Browser Mode, press USB Stick, choose Backup/Restore, then Backup. Leave the stick in until the Stage says it is done.

3. Load your rigs

Unzip your download first. Skip any __MACOSX folder and files starting with ._ (Mac leftovers, not rigs). In Rig Manager, click Local Library in the Locations list on the left. Drag the rig files from the Presets folder into the list. Then select them and drag onto MyProfiler to store them on your Stage.

4. Test out your new rigs

In Browser Mode, press Views and choose Last Imported to see your new rigs. Turn the BROWSE knob to pick one and push it to load. You are good to go! If you share a clip, tag the artist.
