Although I found this useful, and its got me thinking of alternative ways of adding Wifi to my rack. The thing that really caught my attention is how your head was in another room and the Kabinet in front of you... how are you doing that? Hopefully not just one long cable 😊

Hi there,

I would like to start a thread that is limited to *only* what hardware has been found to work or should work to allow wireless to be added to our legacy devices.

I did a video with an explanation...

Power adapter to use one cable for kemper and router

The manual is not 100% clear so I will try to summarise my findings so far and what I have seen on this forum. I will also attempt to make it as simple as possible for those of us who are not that technically minded.

The Kemper needs to be connected to a device called a 'router' which is wifi enabled. This wifi router also needs to be able to function as an 'access point' if you want to run it stand-alone (at a gig) without another network (e.g. your home wifi network). As the manual says, this router needs to be connected via the ethernet socket on the back of the kemper. (easily bought on amazon, but see below)

The remote also needs to be connected to that socket so you have to connect the wire from the remote to a socket on the router. However, (and this is important), the remote needs to be powered. It receives its power from the kemper through the ethernet socket normally so you have to find a way to add power to the cable that goes to the remote. This can be done via a POE (power over ethernet) injector (easily bought on amazon).

So, if you do it like this you will have 2 boxes (one router and one poe injector) which both need a power supply plugged in somewhere. You will then need a short cable to go from kemper to router, then another cable from router to poe injector and then a long cable from poe injector to the remote.

If you are like me then you will want to reduce the number of cables and power supplies that you have to lug around and this is where it gets interesting.

There are such things as routers that are powered by POE, so that has the potential to lose one power supply (because the router doesn't need a power supply if it's powered from the kemper from the ethernet cable). Many of these routers are designed for home networking where things are wired into small spaces so they are probably small enough to go in the back of the kemper.

There are also routers which will do POE 'pass through'. In other words it will take the power coming in from the kemper and then pass it on to the cable going out to the remote. The first issue is that the router needs 2 ethernet sockets. Many small wifi routers powered by POE do not, but a small number do.

However, then we get into the issues of how much power and how is it delivered. In this case, there are multiple standards of how this is done (802.3af, etc.) and I have not seen confirmation from kemper on what standard we need to follow (it says 'mode a' in the manual, but this is not quite enough information I believe). Supported are IEEE standard 802.3af-2003 as well as 802.3at-2009 mode A. There is also a lack of documentation from router companies about the detail of what they need coming and out of their power supplies.

In a perfect world, we could find a device which will be powered over POE and will pass-through POE to the remote. If this was the case, then legacy owners could buy one box, with no power supply and tuck it into the back of the kemper and have it all in one with no additional power supplies etc.

So coming back to the point of this thread. Please post the products (preferably with a web link) that you have found that we can try or research to be able to achieve this goal. I will shortly add some that I have found. Please don't clutter up the thread with comments such as 'I'm confused' or 'why not android' etc. those comments can go in plenty of other threads.

Anyone got a solution ETA?

played a show this past weekend, found that I had an issue got through it. But got 2 back to back shows this weekend where I cant afford for these functions to not work.

Is there a way to rollback to an earlier version?

Hey,

Im looking to see if there is a way to keep my digitech whammy in my rack, kept on the 2 octaves up setting (no need to change this right now) and use the FCB1010 to control it including the expression parameters. This is because I prefer the digitech sound but dont want to have another pedal and power supply running the the front of the stage.

Any advice on this would be great, a step by step guide on setting this up would be better

Cheers in advance \m/

I picked up a new 8u flight case for the power rack and kitted it out with some LED's etc, but I got a Line 6 G75 and a Focusrite 6i6 which are both pretty cool.

Thank you for your reply,

I now have noticed you have to select MyProfiler to make those changes and not all rigs... Doh!

Cheers

Hey KPA world,

So here is my very first forum post.

This request my have already been asked for so I apologise in advance if it has been.
From time to time I like to have a bit of a clear out of the profiles loaded onto my profiler, not because of running out of space or anything like that, but because I have a bit of an OCD issue with keeping everything organised and labelled / named to my preferences, plus I dont see the point in keeping profiles I never intend to use.

Anyway, I would like the Rig Manager to be able to delete multiple profiles at a single time, and edit any of the names to something that I prefer. Seems like a pretty simple fix

Cheers
