Kemper Stage and Samsung....

Unfortunately there is no access to the Kemper with Android.

***Edit, although I just found this...***

You can run Windows 11 on your phone thanks to Android 13 (androidauthority.com)

You can do updates with a USB thumb drive and backups too. You just have to download the update file into the thumb drive. A computer or laptop would be best to do that. I don't believe Tablets have a USB port but I haven't looked into the newer ones.

Windows, Mac and (more recently) iOS are the supported operating systems.

Kemper has stated they have no plans to support Android or anything else.

It may sound (and be) limiting. But since its release in 2011, this is what they’ve done.

I should note that you can download updates from the Kemper Support page on an Android Device. They will store in your Downloads folder. I did a search and found this video so it may be possible to use your S22...

I had the same problem and ended up buying a cheap Windows based tablet. It runs Rig Manager perfectly as well as handling updates to the Kemper.

Edited to add: I considered the Chromebook route too but unfortunately they will not work in place of a Windows machine.

Interesting. What did you buy?

Interesting. Hmm, maybe it's not a good idea to get the Stage then? I have no other option other than my Samsung proscusts. Although I was thinking of getting a Chrome book. Would that work?

I'm kind of anti apple. Lol.

From the Main Manual 8.5:

Updates, Backups and Sharing Sounds 312

Updates, Backups and Sharing Sounds

The PROFILER operating system should be updated on a regular basis to receive refinements and new features. Operating System Updates Before we lay out the technical steps to perform an update of the PROFILER operating system, let's explain the concept of how the PROFILER software evolves: KEMPER is constantly improving the software in terms of new features, enhanced capabilities, and fixes for known issues. The PROFILER can be updated in two ways:

• Rig Manager for Windows®* and macOS®* not only automatically manages its own updates, but also suggests and performs updates of the PROFILER OS. This is the best option if your PROFILER is close to a PC or MAC®* with internet access.

• New updates can also be downloaded from the KEMPER download page and installed via USB memory stick. This is convenient if your PROFILER is somewhere without internet access. A USB memory stick can also be used to create PROFILER backups.

I don't care about tweaking on a computer, I just want to be able to update the Stage. Do I need an Apple product to do updates? Why would they make it so limited? It should be capable of updates with any USB or Bluetooth device - I would think.

I think the assumption is most people have a PC or macbook.

Most samsung devices are mobiles ( phones and tablets).

Like you I'm a bit anti-apple and have a number of Samsung products but use the PC for updates.

Interfacing with the Kemper without Rig Manager would be a deal breaker for me.

From a desktop/laptop perspective - this is completely true. Windows covers about 75% and MacOS another 15+%. So, love or hate.... 90% of the computers out there are on one of these systems.

I believe the brand is Onn and it was if I remember right less than a hundred bucks from Walmart. I was trying to buy a regular windows laptop at the time but it was during the peak of COVID and with all the kids having to home school suddenly, there wasn't a laptop to be found anywhere. Turned out to be a great purchase. Just updated to Windows 11 and RM is still working perfectly.

I bought a used £45 windows tablet for my Kemper and RigManager. Works perfectly. Probably wouldn't do anything else but II don't care

I use an old iPad for editing and USB key to update/backup. That prevents me to spend too much time surfing the Rig Exchange . But I'm pretty much set with what I need
