A/B function

It would be great if the Kemper would have sort of an A/B function for comparing original and edited rigs.
could be done with the two softbuttons in the middle (between Type and Browse)
(
but maybe that is what the undo/redo function is about?!?)
cheers,

Exactly!

Under Undo I would expect: "make the last step of your editing undone".
A/B compare would be: "compare all what you have edited so far with the last saved version."

A/B compare would be great! I always store a new version and then have to turn the BROWSE knob in order to compare them. That's a bit awkward.

But, hey - a s o f t w a r e e d i t o r !!! will certainly offer both undo and A/B compare!

What about: Store >>> Save as >>> Rigname 1 and switch back and forth from the original one? This is how I do it........

Agreed, and that's just a couple of button pushes - not difficult or time consuming.

That is TRUE...but on the other Hand this is 2012

guess that when most of the Software refining is done, a Bit more energy could be invested in better rig management
don't her me wrong, i Love the Kemper, but i also see room for improvement :whistling:

Wow - thanks again, Sage: now I discovered how useful the RIG buttons far right are.

But still after a while I end up with lots of files called
"D'lux 8.15"
"D'lux 8.16"
"D'lux 9.01" ...
I will have to delete them manually quite soonish.

Anyway - a tool that sounds so gorgeous like the KPA can afford to have us wait a bit for this kind of "convenience" stuff like software editor of A/B compare buttons...

BTW is it true that the KPA will boot faster if it has less rigs inside? As I don't switch rigs during a gig then maybe it would be good to do a livegig.kpabackup file that only contains my latest favourite rig? Just in case I have to reboot on stage. When I come home I could load a tweeking.kpabackup file if I want to edit more?
