I can see why CK wouldn't do that. It would resolve in a lot of negativ feedback, since the editor would probably take its time to work properly, especially if its not from Kemper itsself. So people would blame Kemper that the editor isn't working, which they then obviously couldn't do a thing about.
I also think the Kemper is still a bit like new born baby, or lets say a really young infant. As pretty much every technology it needs its time to overcome "teething troubles" and get to its full potential. And in this critical time I think it's understandable that Kemper doesn't want it to get into contact with Windows/Mac yet, since that would open a whole world of new issues.
And last I think, pods didn't came with editors in the beginning, the axe needed a long time before there was an editor. So whats the hurry?
It's been requested many times and I'm pretty sure it will come sooner or later.
Well to be honest, the "hurry" is that it is incredibly tedious to try to organize files on the Kemper. The original pods didnt have them because there were only like 12 amps. Not much organization needed there. Axe Edit, though its been in beta, has been around for quite a long time. With so many profiles there needs to be away to quickly organize things. Im well aware there are in fact work arounds such as labeling, but that takes time as well. Especially if done on the Kemper itself. Not trying to be the squeaky wheel here, but most modern guitarists who have modelers have the ability to organize their presets. I want that ability as well. My rig count got up to over 900 rigs. Its cumbersome to try and delete one by one. The only logical way to do it is delete everything and re-import everything you want. Still takes too much time.
Maybe Im in the minority here. But Im completely frustrated that something has yet to be produced for rig management. I see the need for a floor board, but not an urgent need. I see a need for more effects, but not an urgent need. I do see an urgent need for some type of librarian/editor. Obviously if Im the only one who thinks that is an urgent need, then I am in the minority. And so be it, Ill wait. But I personally think this needs to be addressed in a timely manner. Its taken Elevenrack almost 3 years to get a stand alone editor. Still not available yet....but theres "talk" of it coming. One of the main reasons I left the 11r. So hopefully Kemper will address this. If not, so be it. Ill mange with or without it one way or another. Id just like the ease of being able to manage rigs quickly and effectively....................maybe the word urgent, is too strong of a word to use.
