I have to say: There is an urgent need for an import function of "performances only" on the Kemper Profiler device for live (and other Scenarios):
- because we need a PC/Notebook independent solution (the Kemper Profiler is already a computer!), especially for live purposes
- in the real "computer world" nobody does a backup and restore of the whole System to only copy or manipulate 1 (!) file
- the risk of failure when changing the Kemper configuration/OS is evident: Nobody wants to take that risk for exchanging only 1 file (eg)
- big time savings (5min+) with the 1st gen devices (PRack, .. )
- as long as eg PRack and Stage have different OS, backup and restore as solution and as no official recommendation, this fuction is highly needed
Please Burkhard understand and take this to the development Department/CEO: Also this is a matter of usability as i wrote to the CEO and the Kemper support several times. Designing the UI of an interface software development wise means that you develop programmed routines for each import scenario giving the user the possibility to interact and choose from (expanding the possibilities which are already given within the import function). A first simple step could be to provide an "import only" of performances when numbers on the Kemper Profiler are free (in relation to the amount of Imports), executed in chronologic order of free performances on the KP or otherwise provide "no Import". The move of performances is an easy job on the Kemper Profiler itself and the user would organize their performances according to that behaviour immediately. Later you can develop and deliver improved user scenarios.
Kemper Company: As Vinny Burns said, with other words: Be open minded to really necessery functions and proposals for making the device more useable as it is by today.
