Just read this update on the LF forum for anyone who is interested/having trouble in getting hold of one:

Are LF+ shipping already?
by Administrator on Tue Apr 16, 2013 12:23 pm

Quick status. We now have our orders from our online system. we have 21 orders with bad email addresses. If you have not received feedback from us, or our system- then we have an email address issue with the original order. We can post names of bad order requests, but that isn't appropriate.

We have a new e-commerce system coming that will allow users to log-in and get status on their devices, etc... it is going to be another couple months before that goes live. But that will allow real-time review by everyone, including information updates, etc...

Products shipping. While several of you know that our metal factory burned down, some of you may not. All of our inventory was destroyed, and thus we are catching up. We are almost back with full product availability. Many of you waiting for 12+'s will have them within 2 weeks. We believe our backlog will drop on those units. we have a couple hundred JR+'s almost on their way to us. PRO+'s are in need of metal and we are on final stretch of getting new parts in.

While we would love to give day-by-day updates- it doesn't help anyone as it changes. We believe we are in full production on all products in May for sure. We don't expect any backlogs or long waits once that arrives.

Liquid Router A16's are in stock and we had enough inventory locally that we suffered no loss of time.

We thank you for your patience. It has been frustrating, but we know we are at the end of the long wait now. Thankfully.

The KPA only. +2 expression pedals (Ernie Ball) and 4 external switches. But the LF with all the pages, IAs and possibilities makes me wanting to get the best out of it.

Yeah, I had a play around with the editor and there is a lot to take in! It's almost like the complete freedom of the controller makes it more difficult to program than standard midi controllers. As you need to be aware of and take advantage of all the features to make your setup as logical and simple as possible.

Absolutely worth the money. The best midi controller I've ever owned. The editor is great too. But yes, Liquid Foot is a one man show. It's not that easy to get a LF midi controller or informations and answers from the "mothership".

My setup is complicated, so the programming of the 12+ will be finished next week, maybe... But it will kick ass!

Thanks for your input, I will just have to continue the waiting game!

What other gear are you using it to control alongside your KPA?

Quote from Gitarrenschlumpf

I placed my order in January and didn't receive no LF, BUT taaadaaaa.. bought a LF+12+ of a friend who ordered in December 2012 and received it 3 weeks ago.

Wow that was lucky! Congrats on obtaining the LF+ how are you finding it with the KPA? Worth the money? What is the build quality like(very good I hope for the price!)

They seem to have some real supply issues as most threads I have read on their forum relating to sales seem to revolve around very long and unexplained delays.

Just wondering if any of you guys with the 12+ or any of the + series can comment on your first order dates and the date when you actually received the pedal? I have had an order placed since September last year and keep being told supply troubles and "next week" but here we are 8 months down the line and still no sign of actually getting a pedal from them.

Just curious as it appears that some of you have had success with LF

I would hazard a guess that Q3 will be a summer namm announcement which really isn't that far off.

I have one on the way to me in the next few days, once it arrives I will be installing it in my cab which I made with a celestion coaxial speaker. Will report back once it arrives.

An arpeggiator like this would be fantastic...
There's a certain black box that can do this but I wonder if it would be likely or even possible that the development team could implement this...?
It Would give the KPA another standout feature as this is a rare FX. I think guitar rig has one, and something called roller shifter... Not many about though.

By the way, thanks to the team for these Pitch features - an excellent job and time very well spent

Hopefully with their experience with the virus line this shouldn't be too big for the genius of CK and crew! Now they have the pitch algorithms in place I would presume the step pitch/arp feature wouldn't be too much of an addition, but hey what would I know I'm just a player and a guitar maker

Quote from michaelmellner

as you could read, I was asking for the same thing....................let's wait for clues...........

Yes we will have to wait and see, we may have to wait for the next update for it to be implemented into the midi cc's.

I still have my whammy 5 for pedal octave up effects in the mean time!

A pitch step filter would be awesome, with a tempo control and a range of steps with an individual user definable pitch setting for each step. So we can make sounds like in Map Of The Problematique by Muse.

Does the pedal pitch have a midi cc for use with midi controlled expression pedals to control pedal position?

What I love about the KPA updates is the unexpected arrival, its a nice surprise to have updates appear out of the blue like today's update. Looking forward to getting home tonight from the workshop to update my Kemper and try out the new features!

Like the Rack KPA which appeared completely out of the blue, im looking forward to the surprise announcement of the footcontroller whenever it may appear!

Quote from paults

I didn't see any of those specifics in the press release. Where is that information?

Some on the gear page post and hints from a beta user.

Sounds like its going to be amazing, polyphonic shifting, harmonising and more. Can wait for the possible beta release!

Look forward to the firmware update! Shame about the lack of foot controller at the Messe.

Not sure if this has already been requested

Having two sets of settings for a delay or any other effect per preset that can be toggled between(midi cc for each) so I can have a long delay and then toggle to the y setting which could be a short delay with more mix and less repeats and be dotted 8ths all in the same preset.

Just saw andertons status from their visit to the kemper booth at namm:

"Just heard the new powered Kempers and seen the beta version of "performance" mode, which should be released as a free upgrade soon. All very cool and another reason you should all check out a Kemper profiler if you get a chance."

Thanks for the quick reply, that's a shame. I wonder if I can wire it anyway differently that will. Will have a play around with some breadboards and see what I can do.

Hi,

I am currently building a momentary footswitch which will essentially be 2 boss fs-6's in one box so that I can control rig up/down and delay/verb on and off. My query is whether for stomps and post effects whether the LEDs reflect the state on the kemper ie led on- effect on and vice versa?

If anyone with this combo can help it would be appreciated, then I can put LEDs in the pedal as well.

Would be great to have more variation on the delay types, ones I especially miss are Reverse Delay and the Sweep Echo from the line 6 units. Any chance of including these in an update?
