Remote - Looper trigger question

angercat · Jul 24th 2015

Hi guys, I have a slightly megaspecific requirement for my Remote, I'm wondering if any of you lovely people can let me know if it's possible!?

I'm a bass player in a covers band and I currently use the Kemper with some phaser and a 'cutter' tremolo effect in order to allow me to play the intro to Dakota by Stereophonics. Before the gig, I'll load the riff into the looper and just trigger the loop whenever I need to - the riff features throughout much of the song.

i also use two different rigs in Performance mode depending on whether it's a loud or quiet part of the song. It means that I have to do lots of tap dancing to come out of Loop mode to change the rig, then back into Loop mode to then retrigger the loop and so on and so forth. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me tired!

What I would love to know is this - can I reassign any of the other switches (for example I-IV to act ONLY as the loop trigger while I'm in Performance mode, so I can swap between the two rigs and trigger the loop whenever I need to without having to keep diving in and out of Loop mode?

Please excuse my technical ignorance - I just really want to love my Kemper and Remote even more!

Cheers guys,

Ben.

This can't be done with the current software - I suggest adding a Feature Request

Thanks for the speedy reply, Paults, I'm just going to copy and paste over there, then.
cheers dude!

Hi Angercat,

you could use an external dual footswitch to toggle between two rigs.

Can Performance Slots be toggled with an external dualfoot switch?

Excellent question. But then how would you assign it to the rigs, and could you assign it over and over to multiple rigs like an fx? Don't see how, but have not tried it.

Yes, they can. Rig up/down is an available option for an external footswitch.

Amazing! So, a momentary footswitch like a Boss FS7 or FS6 would do it? And what would I need to do to the K in order to make the toggling work?

In System menu you can assign Rig up/ down to a switch that's connected to the back of the Kemper.

I take it you can NOT do this with the Remote though... too bad there. Maybe down the road...?

True, but only for the moment. It's a promised feature.
