DRY PAN instead of PANORAMA
THE PROBLEM:
When you perform live and want to place yourself in the stereo mix, if you use PANAROMA (or you use PAN on the mixing console...same thing) your Kemper stereo effects get cut on one side of the stereo field. This takes the life out of great stereo effects!
And if I want to use the Kemper stereo effects on recording, it's the same problem. You can't place yourself in the stereo field mix without losing the full stereo effects. This forces you to use outboard effects. That's a wast of the built-in effects in the Kemper.
SOLUTION:
Change PANORAMA to DRY PAN for the RIG output into the EFFECTS MODULES. And you would need to store this in Performance presets so when you go to solo, or want the PAN position to change, calling up your preset on the Profiler Remote changes the DRY PAN position to where you want it in the stereo field.
QUESTION:
Do we need this for Main Out L & R only...like to the FOH or mixing desk? Or do we want it elsewhere? If I use MONITOR OUT and DIRECT OUT for FRFR L & R stereo wedges (or FRFR L & R stereo backline speakers), I probably want equal dry signal on both LEFT and RIGHT all the time to avoid any volume drop. My main concern is that the FOH or mixing console gets the correct PAN mix without losing the stereo effect(s). In almost every case I would think the MONITOR OUT and DIRECT OUT would want center PAN. And what about S/PDIF? Same as MAIN OUT?
Thoughts?
