Line6 FBV Express foot controller on Kemper

joefk · Jun 10th 2014

Hey folks,
I just got the toaster Kemper for studio purposes, and a friend lend me his Line6 FBV Express foot controller. I connected it through the ethernet port, but nothing happened, the Kemper wouldn't recognize it and the FBV was completely unresponisive (not even powered).

Does any of you have any experience on the matter or if this is even compatible at all? I've been searching the forums to gather hints from other users, but came up with nothing.
I apologize if this has already been anwsered on another thread.
Any help would be appreciated,

Thank you for your time.

Welcome!
This is not compatible out of the box.
But http://www.kemper-amps.com/for…hp?page=User&userID=22889 here on the forum wrote an app that translates the output of an FBV shortboard to midi messages the KPA can understand.
PM him.

Thanks Ingolf! I sent him a pm, hopefully he will respond soon.
However, digging more into the forum, I got the idea that mDan also goes through hardware modification on the controllers in order to get them to "read" the appropriate midi messages, before he applies the software settings through his app.
Or maybe I'm missing something.
Either way, thanks again for all the help!!

Good luck getting in touch with mDan, I have sent him 2 PMs lately and have received no response. I would really like to use the Line 6 FBV Longboard!!
