It's alright by me if it's not an option for the rack/toaster. I mean it's 10 year old hardware after all. It is already exceeding my expectations everyday.
It could be an option if they built wi-fi into the Remote, which seems a logical approach they would take
I wonder if the Remote was built with wireless 
Interesting stuff. There seems to be some metering happening in the video.
Hope they spill the rest before the weekend.
It is a bit annoying that these are posted only on Insta and Farcebuck - both of which require user accounts. Why not youtube or some other open service for the rest of us?
They post on Twitter as well, of course more accounts for you
My iPad is itching to go!
Would be great if you could use the iPad pen/stylus for editing as well

iPad Rig Manager by the looks of it. ?
Why the aggressive and defensive responses to Yoda? His posts sound angry, but based on actual experience using a device workflow that he committed to years ago that is now being transformed in fundamental ways. You don’t have to agree. But no, many many people bonded with Kemper because using it was the closest reflection of using traditional rigs in the digital domain. In large part because it was the most personal, or most person-izable.
I think it’s good to talk about how we all use the Kemper , especially good for the Kemper group to then maybe see how they should approach menus, etc. We all have different use needs. If improvements can be made, we all benefit.
I can see Yoda’s point of view and perhaps the Kemper presets should only be available with rig manager or download, then those that want to use them can and those that don’t will not see extra clutter on the Kemper unit.
Or a way to view “user” saved effects only. Kinda like the rig view options.
Display MoreIt's a question of philosophy.
For me, the subject of "presets" clearly shows that there has been a change in the way the Kemper Team thinks.
Namely, away from the professional tool towards the simple user.
Many features, enabeling broad coverage of requirements and makes it easy to use.
Many competitors of modeling amps provide presets and amp models as default settings that cannot be changed or deleted, but can be copied to user presets and then adjusted.
As result you always have the manufacturer presets on the device, also if you don't like them or don't use them.
Up to now, Kemper's philosophy was to deliver a platform that leaves the user free to decide what to install on this platform.
The user was free to install or adapt presets and profiles at his own discretion.
Since there were apparently many user complaints that were not able to install presets nor reset them to the original state after changing them (you only had to copy the preset from the preset pack to the kemper), the presets will now be permanently stored on device and are immutable.
Basically, the simple users (who did not understand) have the system adapted so that it works like other manufacturers have been doing for a long time.
This is the approach to the "normal consumer" who neither wants to read manuals nor deals with complex systems but demands more and more features that he unfortunately cannot handle.
The big question is whether professional users who want to create their own sound and setup will follow suit.
I'm waiting for the day when "quickstart profiles" will also be permanently installed on the Kemper to make it easier for beginners to start with the Kemper.
That day will come.
So you would prefer a blank Kemper, with no rigs, effect presets, nothing. So you could profile your own amp, with baked in fuzz/of/dist and then build your effects from ground up. Because if you use anyone else’s rigs then your argument is moot
Display MoreSo this mean I can't delete Firmware preset's any more ?
One of the great advantages of the KPA for me was that I could delete everything that I don't use or need.
This applies to the supplied profiles as well as to presets.
The assumption that every user has to have exactly these firmware presets on his system is an arogant way of thinking.
That already bothered me with Line6 and Fractal.
That was the reason to buy a profiler instead of a modeller.
For different reasons, I will maybe use 10% of that presets supplied by the manufacturer (not my music style, using external effects etc).
For me it is simply superfluous ballast.
I think it will be time for me to look for other solutions.
You don’t have use them, it’s not like they force them to be used with every rig. ?
Updated with no issues ?
Nicely done! ?
Internet connection is fine, cable to profiler is fine as I can see all my profiler information in rig manager. Where do I check my login credentials? Thanks.
Just update with a USB stick. I have had issues previous to the latest Beta where my MAC would always crap out the connection with the Kemper when I tried to update with USB cable. But updating via USB stick was always solid.
it would depend on the sounds you’re using...The B3 organ is really the only patch I use that doesn’t seem to work. For strings and horns it seems to be fine
Did you try adding a HPF to your B3, that should tighten up the low end?
how cool would that be to have a modern version of this!!!
I speculate EQ stacks from various amps. You heard it first here.
?
Sorry for that.
I will rewind and put my business hat on.
Truth is that no glassy sound is doable without the "True Impedance" feature. One need to update to a Profiler Stage for that.
Do any of the recent Toaster or Rack units have this ability? Why was it not put on all of them? Is this something we could mod in some way?
As per the manual:
The internal power amp is mono, and delivers 600 watts at 8 ohms — however, the wattage will be lowered to 300 watts when used at 16 ohms. At 4 ohms, the wattage is electronically limited to 600 watts. If these 600 watts are exceeded, the power amp is deactivated for a moment, which will result in a short dropout. It would require insane volumes for such dropouts to occur — however, if you are connecting a 4-ohm cabinet, you should test it carefully to ensure that your loudest signals stay below that critical level.
If I recall, I had asked CK about 10” and 15” speakers when the Kone was released. He said at that time it was not planned.
I would love to see that changed though. ?
I’ve owned a KPA since day one, and have owned a second for the last 5 years so I could do stereo amping. The easiest way I can say it is this - after having the Quad Cortex for 2 weeks, I’ve sold both my Kempers. The KPA was a game changer. But, it is not an amp, it is technology. Technology doesn’t age well, and isn’t built to. Technology evolves and improves, and the QC is the latest evolution. I will always respect Kemper for being the trailblazers they are. I don’t say this to start any inflammatory discussions, but I did not find any area in which the KPA did as well as the QC, with the ONE exception of the QC having fewer effects at this point. But I lived through the development of the KPA effects arsenal, so I know that it takes time. From form to function, feature set, design, sound, feel, build, and convenience, the QC takes it. Neural is the new king on the block for me. Anyone who is the least bit interested in guitar processing technology should try one for themselves.
The Kemper is 10 years old and still holds its own, in some areas still is ahead. That to me says a lot about the design of the Kemper.
