Looper feature for non-Remote users

nightlight · Jan 12th 2015

As informed by Peto, the looper feature is exclusive to Remote and cannot be accessed by other users, as per this link:

Since the looper is inside the Kemper, couldn't all users have access to it? If not the reverse and half time buttons, at least the start/stop functions? Shouldn't this be a simple case of sending the appropriate CC numbers? If not, couldn't these features be mapped to CC numbers so that every user can access them?

Hoping for a favourable response to this request.

Paging MR. UNO4Kemper guy..

KFC may be exclusive for the looper function because of some technical problems with implementation with MIDI IN/OUT port communication.
I hope it's not only for profit.

So KPA offers looping functions only at RJ45 connector and not at MIDI?

Yes, only with the remote.

Sure would be nice if the folks from Liquid Foot could get with the Kemper folks to make it so I could use the Network port on my 12+ VS having to down grade my Midi functionality and switch to the Kemper Remote. Probably a fantasy but it seems like such a waste to have just bought it and spent the time setting it up to control everything, only to have to end up limited to another stupid choice.... either no looper or looper without the crazy flexibility of what the 12+ can do. If I had not just spent the $$$ on the 12+, obviously it would be a clear choice for the remote, sadly with the lack of updates on it's status, I didn't want to keep waiting and waiting just to end up here lol

I have to admit having forked out for a Peak MIDI controller with a hefty import tax this is more of a kick in the balls. I have been hoping of a looper since I bought the kemper back in April That and I have been waiting for the free upgrade ever since then

I just wanted to say, very politely: having the looper with other pedalboards wouldn't be a stupid idea after all..

I believe that once the looper is inside KPA, then implementing MIDI support for triggering looper is easy as pie however bussiness plan is to cooperate only with KFC otherwise the pedal would be half interesting. IMHO it's quite correct.

With all respect, but that doesn't make any sense at all. Numer one, a looper is not that important to many guitarists. Number two, it's not problem to have an external looper - you can even put it everywhere in the chain you desire (in front of the KPA, and as a loop pre and post amp).

My guess #1: Kemper will sell the KPA and the remote in the future ALWAYS together. Probably at a lower price for the bundle. Then everybody has the looper...except for "old" users that do not want to buy the remote.
Guess #2: Somebody will reverse engineer the commands and make the looper available to everybody.

But, as stated many times, I'm not buying the remote to get a looper. I really like the concept/integration/. Hence, I just ordered under the early bird program.
