Onboard Profile Audition/Cloud Profile Audition

Would be nice if the Kemper would auto-switch through rigs at a user set duration.

In 3, 5, 7, 10 second intervals, KPA would switch to the next profile. The user can auction a bunch of stuff "hands free". This is a feature implemented in the Eleven Rack GUI editor that I find really clever and useful.

Should be able to be applied to any future "sublist" of rigs too - say "audition my favorites list switching between those profiles every 7 seconds".

This could be nicely combined with the "profile looper" request someone else requested. Now you can audition multiple profiles with a pre-recorded loop. Totally "hands free" you can have a cup of tea while deciding what sound you want!


Now... let me blow your minds for a sec... combine all of this on the cloud server and have a set of pre-recorded loops like: rock, jazz, metal, country, funk, jazz, chicken, roots, whatever. User selects a loop. And the cloud server will cycle through available profiles and have the server play the chosen loop through a Kemper engine and stream the sound back to the user. User can hit "like" or "tag" at any point and the cloud server puts that off into a list of profiles to download for the user.

Now you can sort out what profiles you might before you even have to mess with the USB thing.

You are assuming that the engine can run like a VST on a server, being coded for a DSP I'm not sure it is the case....

I left that open. I'll let them sort out the details. :-)

For all I know, they could have 10-20 Kemper's in the server room accepting incoming signals, having patches selected via MIDI and piping the output back to the web. Maybe one server is involved co-ordinating it. Does not scale of course, but could work.

They have to have some kind of test bed and some kind of emulation platform somewhere - they don't have to wait until final product to do a "sound in/sound out" test.

The first emulation platform was using the hardware of the Virus T1 synth, that's why I assume it was easier then using a PC

Let's add even more...

While we make a cup of tea.
The KPA loops different profiles.
We choose a tone we want.
Whilst drinking the tea we program the KPA to play that tone along with a backing track.
And we end up with.............

Ha ha! Yes... we're feature creeping our way into a "Demo" button pretty fast. How about "auto-chord" too while we're at it! 8o
