How to protect your precious rigs and presets

Or the option to protect access to the whole unit, like in a smartphone.

I guess I'm missing something here...

Protect against *what*...?

Unauhorized access.

Kemper is working on something alittle birdie told me... Apparently enough people want to see this happen, so I believe there is something in the works.

Armin, I like this idea for locking down a particular KPA.

But as far as protecting profile intellectual property, I feel like the .kipr files should just have a "commercial" or "private" flag you can set when creating them, that prevents them from being exported without entering a pin. Users would still be able to backup, export customized rigs using a private profile without the pin; however, the export process would write the KPA name into the .kipr file, and KPA's would not import these rigs unless it was the same KPA name that was exported.

Since we can not answer in the announcement section.

The best way IMHO would be to let the user enter a 4 digit number to use the USB port to load/save anything via the USB port.
Double the time interval between each wrong try and the next.

+1 for me
could be a digit, or a button sequence (easier to operate from the front panel) to mount the USB storage...

.

What about a biometric scanner or a dongle or an NSA-Intruder-Sensor ...
Heaven, this can't be true! Do continous backups everytime before shutting down, take your USB with you and that's it!

Or are you talking about a burglar-protection to avoid further usage?

It seems that a few folks are quite sensitive about their precious trademark profiles being stolen by roadies with USB sticks...

yeah or imagine if someone stole <big-name producer>'s KPA.
