Kemper site says “not for other applications then profiling”.
Any reason for that? More specific, use with other capturing units then kpa?
In my mind it does a straightforward job: reduce speaker level to line level…and should work with anything right?
Are you aware of the locking option? Maybe locking the chorus, and toggle the other changes with presets would help?
Could you use the mix parameters of simulation and drive to effectively turn on/off using morph?
Other brands solve stuff like this with “scenes”…I could imagine that kpa stomp switches could become “scene switches” ..configureable to switch on/off whatever a user comes up with..
in demo mode, the app will show all available options for all Profiler models because it can not know which model will be used
Your grand chief has shared that there have been thoughts about payed upgrades for full functionality. Is there any decision making on the horizon?
During boot up of an early toaster I get a loud hum at the monitor outputs (cabsims off, no Kone, in stereo mode)
After boot up it’s fine.
I updated firmware about 2 weeks ago.
If I’m correct I had the issue before, it was gone at a certain firmware, but now it’s back…but not 100% sure.
Is this known?…bug or as designed?…or specific for my unit?
A bit annoying when you have a setup with a master powerswitch with which you switch poweramp and kemper at once 
Afaik the only information directly coming from Kemper is that they have been considering it…
+1 that they decide to do so!
Ive read no more then “we are considering paid upgrades”…has there been any communication from Kemper that they actually follow up on that?
Instant buy for me if there is confirmation the full enchilada in the Player
Does anyone else experience this effect? Not being negative about it, just wondering if it's just me?
Yes, it’s there…
Don’t quote me on this one cause it’s a couple of years back..I asked support about it…apparently it’s “as designed”.
In my mind it shouldn’t be there…but it’s so marginal, i sometimes doubt if the small glitch when you switch, maybe even throws yours ears off enough to no longer be able to compare.
- the B port doesn't provide power
- in an upcoming firmware the toaster will support USB Midi on both ports: the 'A' port (=host) as well as the 'B' port (=device)
# makes life easier when you use a usb(powered) midicontroler.
As far as I know, toaster's USB-A doesn't support MIDI commands
And the B port does?
Does anyone’s know if there power on the B port?
Hi,
I updated my toaster with the latest FW.
I was expecting my toaster (one of the early ones) to handle midi coming in to the usb 2.
It doesn't. Any setting I need to check? not all hardware does it?
thnx
My approach:
1 dial in sounds against reference tracks, that will get at least get all your sounds balanced amongst each other, to get you ready for #2. I don’t believe in dialing in on PA sets at gig volumes…cause your dialing in on PA A which is not flat in freq range Y..and the next gig is on PA B…which is not flat in freq zone X…and then you’re double screwed ;). Best to use reference monitors and dial towards a good middle ground.
2# Do not expect playback systems to sound 100% like your reference monitors. They don’t. Use a global eq or eq on the board to compensate. Which should be quick if your sounds are balanced amongst eachother.
3# Foh sound is different then stage sound. Imagine how a drumkit sounds on stage (acoustic)…and how it sounds in foh…in most cases stage sound is much more midrangy. Ime a miced sound (=output kemper) is much harder to blend with stage sound then a traditional cab. Some choose to bring a poweramp/cab for this reason..which obviously rubs against the convinience factor.
My comment has a very valid point:
Based on empirical evidence gathered over 10 years in this forum, spread over numerous firmware and hardware releases/updates/announcements, there is always somebody who feels the need to point out that the features are not wanted/implemented correctly or in the wrong order, that 'the market' has moved somewhere else etc.
The online 'discussion' will always be led by a very vocal minority.
Can I read into this…that at KPA HQ the current hypothese is that there is a very limited group of customers that would appriciate the option to upgrade?

Maybe you are mistaken a customer expressing what he would like..for a customer criticizing business decisions?
Sad, but i understand !
The good news is there wasn’t a “no” 
The upcoming firmware update doesn't contain anything in regards to new/additional effects
Could you give an insight in what is on the long term roadmap in this regard?
If a “full feature version” is on the roadmap..I’d buy one today.. no matter if it’s free/charged upgrade.
Is a adding a global EQ on your roadmap?
The product exist already, it's called "Stage"
I would definitely like the full 8 fx slots simply to enable existing rigs to be used without any restrictions. However, it seems clear that the target market for thE player is pedal board users rather than a grab and go replacement for the big brothers. That market already has external FX for most things making 8 fx slot less important.
I would buy the player next to my current head, but wouldn’t consider a stage.
Idnk about target markets, don’t have opinions on Kempers strategies…I just say what I’d fancy
Essential for survival of playing different venues / cabs.
8 available fx slots or/and all fx plz
I’d understand when it’s an upgrade with costs…hoping this gets enough likes to motivate the boardroom to decide on it
Thus we consider since quit a while to offer one or two software upgrade (with costs), that will boost the Players features towards the Head, Rack and Stage.
Any timelines on the decision making?...will that be announced before release?
Thing is..I’d buy today if it’s on your roadmap
Always switch Kone on when you use a Kabinet or Kone speaker…switch cabs off if you want to use imprints, leave them on if you want the Kone to act as a fullrange..and playback cab/mic in the profile.
Always switch Kone off if you use something else then a Kabinet. Switch cabs off if you use a guitar cab, leave them on if you use fullrange.
These settings do not impact the main outs.
