Hello, I play the guitar in a postrock band (https://linktr.ee/whenwavescollide) and we usually play live with a computer (for click and backtracks purposes).
Some part of our set are incredibly difficult to play with just 2 guitarists and I always wanted to be able to have a looper to record some phrases, synced to our click.
Since we are using a computer and the Kemper does have a looper in it, I educated myself about the NRPN midi stuff and found out how to automate the looper all synced up with any tracks we play.
I wanted to share it here because the journey to make it work was hugely difficult and I think I might not be the only person wanting to do this.
In order to automate the Kemper looper you'll need 2 mandatory things :
- a copy of Ableton Live
- the soft device NRPN Gen 2 (https://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/4893/nrpn-gen-2)
Once in Ableton, you just have to create a midi track and drop the device in this midi track.
You'll need to enter the values as shown in the image NRPN 1
Then you'll have to set your envelopes controls as shown in the image NRPN 2
The rest is pretty much explicit on how to trigger the different modes of you kemper looper !
Let me know if it works for you !
PS : Note that it also means you can automate about anything in your Kemper and make your life easier if you play live with a computer !
PPS : I plan on doing a video to explain everything with a lot more details in the future
Cheers from France
