USB future

Does anyone know if the kemper has plans to use its usb as a sound card similar to say what an eleven rack does? has Kemper ever talked about this? if not then what is the 2nd usb port for?

The obvious answer to that question is that at a certain point we will get usb audio capacity (probably after an editor/librarian), IMHO. No official statement has been by Kemper to date

without a proper USB-connection (particularly for recording, reamping) KPA even with its promising technology is not state-of-the-art. Hope the future firmware will solve the issue asap & without any hardware modifications.

You don't need USB to re-amp...you use the Monitor Out.

What studio uses USB for recording?

what I do need is an all-in-one solution like Axe Fx 2 or 11r (amp modelling + audio interface). I reckon I'm not the only one

It would be nice to have a feature for recording directly to a USB memory stick. Maby Also be able use it for looping if the kemper has limited memory capacity.

I'm willing to bet that the majority of KPA owners will be guitarists, not studio owners.

I have a digital setup, as much as I love analog for it's mojo I'm not going to be singing it's praises on the outputs of a digital unit, especially when it comes time to re-amp from my DAW and I want convenience and control. The point of the KPA is after all to replace an analog component completely, so I think it's only reasonable to expect to be able to (eventually) record directly out of the unit with something slightly more modern, controllable and convenient than barely working SPDIF.

I agree, but I will settle for high quality working spdif connectivity (both ways). What studio wants to add more ad / da conversion then necessary? There must be a reason for that USB port inclusion, I would be surprised if its only for connection to pc or Mac for librarian / editor usage, but you never know. I would hate to see only the Kemper II adding USB audio.
