You can already do modification of multiple parameters with an expression pedal over MIDI, but ONLY IF your midi controller supports it. There's no technical reason preventing it.
I don't know if one that supports it though.
The NAMM plot thickens.............

Yea - and all KPA devices will fly to Mother Ship generating alien sound's and profiling the users
Too much SF - by the way Childhood’s End - great tv mini series:) -
Wait a minute -something is wrong - there was no Ingolf and Pault responses in this Thread??????

Maybe they're in the know!

I do know that there will be a free JVM410 rig pack released very soon...

I wish I knew what was going to happen and when, but I don't. I've had my head down, rehearsing and recording this week - I've been way too busy playing to type very much
I was going to comment sooner in this thread, but, people started talking about editors, and I'm more interested in new features.But, this all looks GREAT to me! I'm hoping whatever is coming on the 21st is something I can use at the gigs I have on the 22nd and 23rd

In no way wanting or trying to be a "Debbie Downer" ...... it would have to be most / all of the above [ and/or Rig Morphing ] to warrant such pre-release hype .......
If its just [ no "downering" intended ] EV control of everything and/or multiple parameters that's great too ...... however ...... an editor + multiple delays / efx in any slot + new and much better stomps and efx ..... are imho .....ah ..... well ....... big time overdue and needed
Having said all that .... I have a KPA and a " quantum-ized" Axe 2 ..... and I think both are utterly amazing ....... and even if the next FW update only has bug fixes and nothing else ...... there will still be no prizes for guessing which one is my [ and my band mates ] absolute, preferred, always-first-go-to-unit ....

= Very Special Day for Kemper UersHi Dean,
Nothing wrong with thinking ambitiously...but you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I would love if all those features were rolled out. However, I am going to keep my expectations in check.
Cheers,

My guesses:
This looks like it implements some new major features. This warrants a major version upgrade, so 4.0 is on it's way. For those that don't know: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, which is why bug fix upgrades are X.X.1, X.X.2, etc., and small improvements or feature additions that don't change much as far as the normal workings of the unit/by the user are X.0.X, X.1.X, X.2.X, etc.
As far as video 1 and video 2, I'm noticing a progress bar underneath the rig name. However, the rig name never changes. To me, that indicates one of two possibilities:
1. A "scene"-like platform where you have one profile that has two sets of settings, maybe a lead setting without shimmer (note how in Video 3 the underlying reverb/shimmer sound doesn't apply on the gain sound), different EQ, and increased gain, or
2. A "profile-blend" like thing, where you take two profiles and can seamlessly blend or fade into the other. There's already the "rig fade" or "rig blend" or whatever it's called setting that fades between profiles - this could be a controllable expansion of that.I also certainly see the green LED over the Mod slot, indicating movable delays (THANK GOD) and my thought is... if you don't use the delay slot for delay, does that mean that the delay block itself is locked out and can't be used for other things? On all three videos (#2 is, strangely, not listed on their Facebook page's "videos," but is visible if you scroll down a couple pages. It is more of what is shown in #1), the Delay block is grayed out, and all read LDL (and, it looks like a down arrow, not a "y", at least to me). I'm wondering if it's a "Lower Delay Lock" or something of the like, but, of course, that's only speculation.
As far as video 3 is concerned, I do hear a shimmer-like or cavernous reverb. This is very exciting to me; however, it could be that it's something where the looper functionality oscillates into itself, creating a reverb-like sound, so your "scene 1" or "rig 1" performs the loop and self-oscillates, whereas "scene 2" is what you use to do your lead parts or melodies. I hope it's for the better reverbs, and not this idea, because that leaves everyone out of the loop that isn't using the Kemper remote (unless they publicly open up the MIDI control changes for the looper).
So, again, all speculation. January 21st is going to be a good Thursday. And what an awesome birthday present, @little_harry (happy birthday in advance, since none of us will care because we'll have our new toys to play with)!

JohnHey John:
Those were only guesses. For my needs, the Kemper as is today, is overkill. My needs are basically good amp tones to record so I don't have to bother with micing etc. The KPA definitely has the best direct amp tones bar none. I have zero expectation, so anything that comes out will be more than thrilling to me. Maybe I shouldn't voice that because I know many would appreciate other things and their wishes should also be addressed; after all it's also good for business because other competing products have to be matched to a certain degree..Cheers.

Hi Dean, it's all good.
It think it is fantastic that Kemper is generating special buzz and excitement for the upcoming 2016 Winter NAMM, on a hardware platform that is 5+ years old. To me, this is a testament to Kemper's amazing product support and continued, ongoing development and improvement of the KPA platform.
Unlike so many other digital products in this industry, the KPA has legs. I guess I am saying that it is just a friggin' breath of fresh air, when you know a company has your back, and actually invests in their existing product...rather than treating it like a wasting asset, an hour after launch.
Cheers,
John
