On the Kemper Stage, it would be awesome if, on the next firmware update, the LOCK button on/off was made assignable to a foot switch. For live use, I’d probable assign it to the LOOPER foot switch.
Example- You have a performance with 5 different slots. You want a delay stomp on all of them but you don’t want it set to on because you may want those 5 tones without delay. However when it IS on, you want it to STAY on when you go to a different slot ( so you don’t have to tap dance and turn it on with each slot). Currently the only way I’m aware of to do this is by engaging LOCK. However, with LOCK on, if you bank up or down to another performance all of the effects are locked so they are the same as the original performance. Maybe you want all different effects on this performance. So you have to kneel down and unlock all of the effects before banking so they aren’t copied to the next performance.
If the LOCK button were assignable to a foot switch you could unlock it on the foot switch, bank to a different performance where You could have all different effects. Then lock again with foot switch. Just a thought.
Since the Stage is made for live use, for players like me who may use different performances, it would keep me from constantly kneeling to lock/unlock when changing performances. Thank you for reading.
