Display MoreNo, I'm saying that all digital amplifiers use a computer model of an amplifier, or of some black box that transforms an input signal to an output signal. That's just what the term "model" means in computer science.
Whether Kemper has 1 or 100 internal models is irrelevant. It's a digital model of a physical process that transforms a signal in a particular way.
If you understand this, it's clear that this is what Chris is talking about in the linked interview. Rather than creating/parameterizing models by hand, he came up with a process of finding the parameters for a model programmatically by analyzing how an amplifier affects an input signal.
I have no idea how this relates to AxeFx, and am not talking about nor am I interested in any fanboy partisan drama about competing products. I'm just relating, as a software engineer, how such software necessarily works.
I understand what you mean when you say model, except I would point out that CK has gone to great lengths to distinguish this machine from a "modeller".
The Kemper uses a particular formula to replicate a sound, but it's very different from a conventional modelling processor, which relies on a formula for every amplifier contained within.
Just trying to point that out. Do look at some videos and compare the sound of a real amp and the Kemper. You'll note that the Kemper has been used successfully to capture vocal signal chains and other processors.
It's a very different machine.
