Feature request to allow SPDIF input to be selectable for return when profiling an amp.
I would prefer to use my Apogee converters when profiling and return to the Kemper via SPDIF rather than going through another conversion stage.
The XLR input on the back is essentially an extra mic pre and AD conversion stage that is getting in the way if I am using external mic pres and have quality converters.
SPDIF return for profiling

Second that. It's worth getting the sound as perfect as possible at source.
-
Also would like to see this.
-
Would love to have this. Just seems logical.
-
The software can already select between spdif and xlr return for reamp input so it should be easy to implement. A line level digital return would be a big plus.
-
Great idea. Mixing mics and getting the phase alignment and balance right would be very simple going through a good quality interface or even a DAW environment like Reaper/Cubase/Logic.
-
Agreed. It would be a great feature.

It would be great

Actually, this has got me thinking about latency induced by an audio interface in the chain when profiling.
It could be a reason why this isn't implemented.
I have been capturing profiles through mic pre into audio interface, then summing mics in Logic Pro then back out into the kemper but I'm now worried that the signal is arriving back to the kemper about 6ms later than expected (the latency of my apogee ensemble)
My profiles have been sounding great so I don't think it's an issue but I have mailed support to get a definitive answer. I will post here when they get back to me.
I wonder if the kemper "pings" the chain to calculate the latency of the return signal. -
Kemper has stated that the profiling process adjusts for any latency.

oh great.
Thanks for that.
my request should be a simple thing to implement then. -

Technically it's not a mic pre I think, Mick; there's no gain and it doesn't service condensers. On second thoughts, I s'pose it's a very-low-fixed-gain one.

I wonder if the kemper "pings" the chain to calculate the latency of the return signal.I think it's logical to assume that the Profiler's Space Wars™ signal is effectively a time stamp of its own, Mick, 'cause it's a specific, dynamic sequence of events. Regardless of how long its arrival is delayed, you'd think it'd be analysed as such (a dynamic sequence of events).
It's logical to assume this IMHO, but as with all things Kemper, you never know for sure unless they tell you, 'cause let's face it, so much about this beastie is unconventional and groundbreaking.

This is an interesting idea. I would love to hear that it has been implemented. It might also open up the Profiler to mimicking complex studio signal chains and other analog gear as well.

Recommended/suggested/questioned this couple years back when first acquired my Kemper... Nothing really came of it
Definitely still gets my +1 !
riff on.

Did this get added to any recent updates?

Is there any news, regarding this topic? SPDIF input for profiling would be highly appreciated, at least by me
