  • Used Profiler with Commercial Profiles - legal issues & licensing question

    It would seem that if you can sell your Kemper itself, you should be able to sell the purchased profiles within it as long as you stop using them for yourself. I can't see the difference. Although I have no idea about the profile licensing terms - I'm sure they are overly restrictive in this area as most software licenses are. Digital media / software restriction are neither consistent or logical vs their hardware counterparts, so who knows.

  • Inserting Rigs & MIDI Program Change Numbers

    Also not fond of the fact that you can only rearrange the 5 slots in a performance and the performances themselves, with no way to quickly rearrange the order of the MIDI PC# changes for rig switching. Plus, you can't see the names of the stomps in the rigs in Performance mode without double clicking each one, and the names of the rigs in the slots are too small to view easily. There needs to be some changes here.

    Quote from Ingolf

    Yeah, you'll love performance mode. You can constantly change the order of your rigs there.


    What I'm not fond of in performance mode is the break up of Rig order into 5 rig slots. I'd rather have a straight numeric sequence that can easily be reorganized.


    I set my MIDI controller up for 3 rigs per controller "bank", so the relationship between 5 rig slots in performances on the Kemper and 3 rigs per bank change on my controller becomes confusing. If I'm reading corrctly though, the MIDI PC#s in performance mode are sequential, so from a controller programming standpoint it's probably irrelevant, but it' still disconcerting a bit to see Bank 2 Rig 3 on my foot controller equal Performance 2 Slot 1 on my Kemper.

  • Inserting Rigs & MIDI Program Change Numbers

    Well, ignore performance mode for a second, the reason I would want to organize by Rigs by PC# order is to put them into an order from best to worse, so if I find a really good one that I didn't have, I want to INSERT it in the PC# sequence rather then add it at the end. My MIDI controller can then INCREMENT them in the sequence that I want rather than me programming a hard coded PC# for a footswitch. As you say, I don;t think it's possible to insert a rig into a PC# slot - with INSERT meaning just that, having the rest move down one PC# - but I'd thought I'd ask.


    I guess this is why Performance Mode is there. :) I assume performance mode works as I describe above - Correct?

  • Inserting Rigs & MIDI Program Change Numbers

    I initially assigned Rigs to the first 50 MIDI patch numbers in Browse mode in order to be able to access them via a Liquid Foot JR+ MIDI foot controller. Everything works perfect using the Liquid Foot bank up / down that increments the rigs / patches assigned to the other 6 button on the controller. The issue is that I often find better rigs that I want to INSERT into the MIDI program change number sequence - not just add the next number. So if I find one that I want to be assigned to MIDI program change #1,I don't see a way to actually INSERT the rig and have the rest pushed back one. Is this at all possible? I doubt it but I thought I would ask (boy it would be great to put this in Rig manager with drag / drop).


    If not, then I assume I'm left with doing this in performance mode. I don't care about the selection of "performances" per say - I'm more concerned about the patch order in totality. As such, it appears from the manual that I can still use MIDI program numbers to access the slots in each performance sequentially, which being able to access 5 slots / rigs in a sequence per performance then go to the first slot in the next performance with JUST a program change increment (without consideration of performance increment / selection). In this way I don't have to do anything to reprogram the Liquid Foot JR+ - I just have to switch the Kemper to performance mode. I get concerned as to whether the LF+ will then recognize the Rig names and properly set and control the effects in performance mode.


    Any thoughts on all this?

  • Confused on Switch Designation for Monitor Cab Off


    Um..not really apples and oranges comparison there. The assumption would be that the program was already developed (like the amp is already developed), and that the software installed (like a firmware update would be installed), and KPA is connected to the computer (as the hardware is connected to a speaker). In this case it would be similar, but in mostly ever other case the program wins hands down. Let me tell you how much I have to scroll to FIND an effect, THEN get into multiple menus to set it.


    Plus, don't get me stated on having to use a FLASJH DRIVE to install updates and do full backups instead of an already connected connecter via USB. Again, even my $200 Zoom or Line 6 POD from 6 years ago could do that via USB.
