Connecting External Tuner to Kemper Remote?

MCVA444 · Sep 14th 2016

Hi guys/gals(are there any on here?),

At the risk of sounding like a noob, I was just wondering if there is any way you connect an external tuner directly to the Kemper remote to track the signal and tune? I understand the inputs are for expression/volume pedals, but I'd like to use my Korg tuner(which I prefer to use instead of the Kemper tuner) without having to connect a lead from one of the outputs on the Kemper unit. Obviously it would be easier to have a patch cable going from the remote to my tuner which sit side by side on the floor.

The Remote does not have Audio in/outs.

If you haven't tried the Strobe Tuner Mode, you may like it better than the Bubble mode.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah that's what I thought. I've tried both and while the strobe tune is much better, I still find myself preferring the Korg pitchblack + tuner display. Also, the accuracy on that thing is amazing. I believe it's to within +1/-1 cent accuracy. Do you know the accuracy of the Kemper tuner? If it's the same then I'll try and get used to using it

I don't think any of us knows the actual accuracy spec, MCVA444, but I can honestly say that based on my intonation-adjustment work done with it, it's more than accurate enough.

Till I get used with the Strobe Mode I connected a Korg Pitchlack Poly tuner to the Direct Out (Guit Analog setting) and put the tuner on the KPA.
The KPA normaly is standing close to me - so I reach the Button with my hand.

But you know you can still choose to have the bubble tuner, don't you?

It was my first contact with KPA
I think the Strobe Mode is better in the practice (for me) but if you get used to tune with a poly tuner, it's hard to make a step back.
