Lol, but she could hear with her finger!
.....further substantiation of the notion that "tone is in the fingers"

.....but, I predict that it will come in time.

If I were CK, I would let Mojotone in North Carolina make the cabs and install the drivers. It's their niche, and there wouldn't be any import duties imposed.

Could it be something as simple as a bad channel strip on the board?...or possibly your input preset was inadvertently saved with a pad on the channel input.

I'm pretty sure the development and support staff will stay home, so can't see a constraint there.
I'm pretty sure that Christopher has done the llion's share of the coding, and he'll be there. BTW, it's all coded in assembly language.

Here’s the thing, after reading an article on the architecture of the Virus synth and the KPA (both invented by Christoph), it’s apparent that the processing concept of both is built on specific DSP chips created for processing audio. There are effects possibilities on these chips that are hardware coded. The CPU probably only deals with file and data handling, as per the basic functions of any operating system. It is my belief that the Kemper Profiling Amp was conceived with the DSP chips and their fully-exploited potential in mind, with the roadmap for FW and feature updates already laid out, limited only by the chips’ processing features, the timescale limited by the programmers’ ability to machine code their way around them. This is why I think we won’t see a Kemper 2 soon. One, because the roadmap of potential features hasn’t been explored to its end, two, because there hasn’t been an upgrade in that line of DSP processors since the KPA’s release. Kemper 2 would have to move away from dedicated DSP processors, which is a whole different skill set as a programmer, and would need raw processing specs akin to the Axe Fx III just to get up to where we are right now.
I could easily be mistaken, but it is my understanding that the DSP chip Kemper is using is reaching end of life .

Hello folks,
Quick one: if I wanted to control another MIDI device with my KPA footswitch (an Axe FX, for example) would I be able to? Or is it designed only for the KPA?
If it is possible, has anyone done it?
Cheers,
J
Nope. Sorry, it's proprietary for the Kemper.

Amp morphing will come.

Now that the crisis is behind you, and all is well.......
Did you try and see if it improved the *dropped tunings*?

My only complaint is that it takes 3 clicks to get to the “unread posts” button.
In addition to that, it takes 3-clicks to "Mark All Posts As Read".
Both are annoying.

....also, it sounds like whoever played it was using their fingers as opposed to a pick.

I have 2 of them. While excellent as stage monitors for the KPA, they also excel as vocal monitors - really, monitoring anything. They have a flat broad projection that allows several singers to hear perfectly, without having to put up with "beamy" frequencies.
They are amazing as straight ahead PA speakers too, when pole mounted.

The effect overhaul like the delays engine and then coming reverb engine seem to take a long time to develop. The delay beta came 2 years ago and now the reverb they are working on possibly by this year. I wish to be wrong but a new revamp OD engine should also be a big project that takes time. for now i use pedal in front of the kemper.
As I understand it, there isn't an "overdrive engine" per se. So that doesn't need to be updated (again, as I understand it). And, you can already put a dirt stomp in any slot other than the one dedicated to reverb. I think that when he has gotten that to be as glitch-free as possible, the dirt pedals will follow thereafter.
If you think about it, there are probably only 3-things that differentiate most overdrives: touch sensitivity, distortion type, and *signature* EQ. The basic drive modules already exist. What has to happen is mostly just measuring existing stomps to determine the values for these parameters. Also, CK, because of who he is and the way he is wired, will likely come up with his own unique ideas for improvements/enhancements...he is not satisfied to just copy the work of others.
New dirt stomps will come. I feel certain that CK has many, many other things on his plate...a lot of balls to keep in the air.
One thing to keep in mind: he has been selling the same box for 6 years. They need new features to excite the buyers at the trade shows. So delaying (pun intended) the pace of upgrades helps with not having the toaster seem too long-in-the-tooth.

Would that be any different from just barring the first fret?
Sorry for the late reply. IMO, yes. A bar chord - generally an F or Bb lasts for a measure, A capo is most often used, in the 1st position anyway, to avoid barring and strum open chords. As a result, every string will sound out of tune....this is on a hard-tail guitar. Add the trem to the mix, and it just compounds the issues.
It has a lot to do with the break angle from the nut to the 1st fret.
All of the above is IMO, YMMV
-
It will happen.

This is my favorite comment of the week!
A true Guru would know the answers to his question before he asked it....just sayin' -
-
If the PRS had a trem, then it would be messy with the capo due to the string tension changing the trem balance.

Every day above ground is a good day!
Well.....except for the last 3.
