Boss "Bank Extent" feature

    Hello all ye in Kemperdom.... Please accept my apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.



    The firmware in a GT-6 has a feature called "Bank Extent" - "Bank" in the context of Kemper is the same as what we call a Performance (ie. a bank of patches)


    The purpose of "Bank Extent" was to place an upper limit on the Banks that could be addressed by the GT-6. For reference the feature is described on on p61 of the GT-6 manual.


    Example Application: Say you are a gigging guitarist that does not arrange Kemper performances by song, but, you need the capability of accessing more than one performance (ie. 6 or more rigs) to do your gigs. In my case I use three performances to get the job done which I store as 1 - 3...


    What I would like to happen is when I press "up" on the Performance 3, I would like the Kemper to revert to Performance 1 (ie. "cycle" up and down as normal but only within a range of 3 only Performances).


    The GT-6, would allow me to achieve this, via the example above by setting a "bank extent" of 3 - ie. never let me head into the 4th bank.


    I can't see where this functionality is currently supported in OS7 - maybe I am the only person on the planet who ever used it on the Boss


    If it can be achieved please let me know else I think it is a feature request.


    If I am wrong and it is currently supported I will lock myself in a room listening to Barry Manilow on endless looping shuffle for 2 days as just punishment.


    Many thanks.....

    It could be called "wraparound range" and ideally, IMHO, allow one to set the range from any Performance number to any other. IOW for example, Performance 21->24 could be the range.


    I can see how this would be handy if one wants to, again for example, prevent the possibility of calling up an inappropriate Rig (Engl at full tilt during a jazz gig). It'd help to eliminate possible pitfalls and reduce gig anxiety overall IMHO.


    In cases where one's Performances aren't grouped in similar genres / tones, it'd be even-more-excellent if one could nominate the individual Performances to create a range. For example, Perf 11, 15, 28 and 35 and cycle using only those. Just a thought; perhaps it'd make your scenario even-easier to set up and use, Dale. :/

    Yes - Wraparound range defines the functionality very well...


    And extending the "pool" to different areas of the Performance "range" would be even better than stacking the performances from say 1 to 3....


    "Engl on full tilt on a jazz gig" - that cracked me fair up.:D
