Please don't shoot me. Are there any plans for a software editor for the KPA?

Songwritersoul · May 25th 2013

I apologize in advance if this has been well covered in the past. I did some searches and came up with a bunch of unrelated stuff so here I am. Just wondering if any kind of editing software similar to that with the Axefx is in the works. I'm really digging the tones in this thing, but am finding it a bit tedious doing editing on the KPA as compared to the editor software for the AxefxII. Don't flame me. I'm not complaining. Just wondering if an editor is even on the drawing board etc.

thanks,

Steve

A librarian is planned, not an editor, AFAIK.

Editing on the KPA is easy IMO, keeping track of all the rigs is what's tedious.
This will be covered then.

+1 on editing its very easy. But it does frustrate me trying to find a profiles. Very much wanting a librarian. But hey the KPA sounds amazing so I'm happy to wait

For me editing on the Kemper is no problem at all,very quick and easy,especially on the toaster.

I agree that editing is relatively easy but depending on your set up (and reach) an on screen editor would be great.
I'm a recent Eleven Rack convert and its the the only thing I really miss....I got quite used to editing with a mouse...and quite fast at it.
A librarian would be most welcome as well...no reason a program couldn't do both

Yes, when using my AxefxII, all of my editing is done on the monitor with a mouse etc and no matter how easy a piece of gear is to edit, nothing beats doing it on a big monitor. I usually have pro tools fired up when I'm fine tuning a preset for recording and it's just nice to have everything on the monitor.

That's cool they're doing a librarian. That will be a great help.

Bah. I like turning the knobs myself. Very easy, and much more amp-like. A real Marshall rig is not going to have a software editor.

A typical Marshall may have 6 to 8 knobs to fiddle....a KPA profile has significantly more and depending how much time you spend tweaking a profile for the perfection to reveal itself you may in fact be returning to those many parameters often.
I picked the KPA on tone not facilities...if facilities were the option I would most likely have picked something else.
A software editor/librarian seems pretty basic these days...even the bean Pods have that

A software librarian is definitely needed....

It's the only weakness of the Kemper in my opinion...
