Controller VST plugin

Gary_W · Sep 28th 2016

Hi,

Over the years here, there have been many requests for an editor and I think it would be beneficial.

With this in mind..... Kemper have always been innovators and gone 'one step further' so how about this?

A VST controller. I am *not* talking about making the Profiler into a plugin as, of course, piracy then becomes an issue.

What I mean is a plugin editor that controls the profiler in real time. You could then write automation to this plugin in your DAW to control the profiler in real time.

Why would you do this? Well, if you are re-amping through the profiler, imagine being able to write morphing parameters in your DAW like you can write automation to any other plugin. Morphing is a great feature for live - being able to write such things into your DAW opens up yet more creative possibilities with the profiler

Plugin controllers for outboard synths and whatnot have definitely been a trend that doesn't appear to be going away any time soon, Gary, and I'd be surprised if the team hasn't considered this.

+1, mate.

I'd be content with the VST plugin just being able to recall the profile used for a particular recorded track and automatically selecting it when the track is armed. But to see a VST be able to take full control over the features and settings of the KPA, would be a game changer.

+1 Mr Kemper did a great one for the Virus synths , called 'Total integration' , I'd love the same for our KPA

I'd be ok to pay a small fee for this kind of tool.

I had a similar request some time ago:

Was literally about to post this suggestion! It would also be really useful whilst Reamping, you could have the plugin to control the feedback of delay or reverb or whatever parameter and for me that would make the whole process easier. +1

But... What about us AU plugin format users?

On a serious note, though, you should be able to do much of this (although probably not without a little bit of a learning curve) with a midi track in your DAW.

If you decide to go this route, I'd probably make a session with a number of different midi tracks controlling different parameters, and copy those into the relevant sessions. Sort of a template or repository. So if I wanted to modulate the delay, I could copy the track named "delay" from the template session into whatever project I'm working on.

Any reason why this wouldn't work - apart from a dedicated plugin obviously being nicer?

If I'm not imagining it, seems as this was hinted at in the past.

Would be awesome.
