Metronome Possible?

Quote from Brattcave

Please... save the word "Genius" for more genious things, or maybe for Cliff.

ROTFL

... Well played!

That one maybe won't make it into the Wikpa...

...And here's where you're wrong, buddy...

Well, if you practice in a band and the drummer is sick, it takes awful lot of trouble to make simple metronome loud enough to be able to hear it. Unless you want to play unplugged. It happend to me last thursday, we needed to find mixer, poweramp and strange cables to make it work. So yeah, it's useful.

Turn on the Looper.

Tap your pickups four times.

Play over the click track you just made

Wait? What? How? DISLIKE? eh?

That Dislike is very old, I think. That feature was disabled, because IT was a disliked feature:)

I can see why

This. Where is the "THIS" button???
First I saw this use of looper in one Guthrie's video.

On your Kemper Remote:)

I think having a metronome in the KPA would be fantastic. Of course it would need a volume control and assignable output option.

The KPA today is giving all guitarists the opportunity to have the very best sounds possible so why not try and get guitarists to be better with an essential practice tool for keeping time. In fact in a band rehearsal environment the entire band could benefit by having a readily available metronome that the guitarist can pump thru his rig and/or rehearsal PA.

There's also one ultimate reason why Kemper should have metronome feature: Axe has it

No, there's no need for a metronome, surely if needed, you could hook your phone up and use one of the thousand apps available, what's next mood lighting........ oh hang on

I see nothing but benefit having an internal metronome. Why not? Are we running out of room? Those wanting to haul around / insert / apply an external click can always do so. All-in-one capacity is much appreciated; in this case, especially when practicing alone with headphones.

Hello again Christoph - You know I don't often post but I'm perusing the board in the background all the time.

Having said that I thought it was again time for me to request this important and highly valuable tool.

I'd be grateful if you could advise will this feature ever be included or not? If not, all good but at least we'll know and we can stop
the ongoing requests for it.

Having a metronome would be cool. Particularly in the looper section for practicing.

Not specifically in regards to a metronome, but as someone who works as a developer for his day job I can tell you that everything you say "yes" to including has a cost. And when I say it has a cost I mean beyond the obvious one for the man hours that go into making even something as seemingly simple as a metronome.

I don't mean to pick on you exactly, I just see a lot of posts in the feature request section that write in the same way, as if there's no cost to including their feature. There is, even if it doesn't seem obvious to you!

A few examples, off the top of my head:

* Expanding the user interface to include controls for the feature, possibly complicating life for users not interested in that feature
* Supporting the feature after it has been developed (bug fixes, having to support a larger code base going forward, with more possibility for error and more code to rewrite when improving code)
* Stability. Even a metronome on the Kemper probably needs extensive testing, this device has to be rock solid always, no exceptions

Saying "no" in software development is super hard. We always want to give our clients and users everything they ask for! But it is also one of the most important things.

i am absolutely with you
i am afraight of the discussions about the sound of the metronome.

The aux in feature should solve the problem for quite a time

however, it is a valid feature request.

Once again Christoph thank you for letting us know. We again understand the current situation.

Have a good day.

Well, to solve this, it could be able to profile the sounds of real metronomes ...

+ 1 for a simple metronome. Regarding the sound: Just don’t make it annoying :D.

... Here it starts...

:DDD
