Great idea!
Display tuner during bootup
-
-
-
I also have doubts if this is doable without some serius engineering effort. Due to the small profile file
I suspect tha the KPA is building some hefty FIR/IIR response lines of of these files with a lot of optimizing math
involved at startup. I might be wrong of course... and in that caseWhy not?
-
A tuner shouldn't take much processing power, so perhaps starting up with the knob set to Tuner could skip the startup profile and load the tuner instead.
-
I doubt that it's possible. The KPA is pretty busy when booting.If i got it right,w e do not expect to have the tuner ready and to boot up in the same amount of tima than it currently takes. But, since we all seem to think that tuning the instrument would take longer than loading and executing the tuner's thread, we'd probably be happy if the Profiler loaded the tuner, then started booting up with the usual sequence. It would certain take longer, but we'd save a consistent amount of time (1'-2'?).
Feel free to correct me if I've a bad model in mind
-
At least we need some entertaining song and fun animation during boot up -and a nice system sound when booting is ready, just like in a computers...tadaa!
-
i also want to make phone-calls while my phone boots and check my email while my computer boots.
The whole osi model is so back dated. -
What is osi?
Not sure whether you're kidding, but I can start using my pc for certain tasks a lot before Windows finishes loading all its stuff. It's just a matter of how you program the threads' loading, of course is the OS is not multithreaded this won't be possible.
If you computer booted the right services and dlls in an optimized sequence you'd certainly be able to check email before everything is up and running, nothing too sophisticated.
The case is clearly very different with a phone, if trying to use its main functions before it's ready.
-
And don't forget that we already have one example of the Kemper being able to do stuff while it's booting - the startup profile. If there's CPU for that, there's CPU for the tuner.

Come on, guys! Stop assuming things when you know nothing about what happens under the hood in KPA.

My booting steps:
At home
1. Turn the KPA on
2. Go for a coffee
3. Tune and PlayLive

My booting steps:
1.) Switch on KPA
2.) Tune my Guitar with 10€ Korg Tuner
3.) Play guitar and dream about what the kemper team could do next for us. Maybe selling a cover for the hole in the back for non-powerd KPA user, so that we have a save place for USB Sticks, Power - Adaptors, Plecs, Tuners,... -

Well, what I am personally asking for doesn't need to assume much
It's just a matter of whether Kemper are willing to modify the boot sequence and how much this would "cost".I've absolutely no doubt that this is technically doable, and that there would be no issues when it comes to CPU usage.
OTOH, if one should rebuild the OS from scratch it would not be worth the effort LOL -

Booting is not "warming up".
The boot process is involving a lot of things and the (software) infrastructure needed for the tuner is available only at the end of boot time. -
At gigs I always get my Profiler rigged up, power up, connect FCB, take the guitar out of the case, plug in, tune, perform. No need to have the tuner working while booting for me.

This is what I was "worried" about. Never mind, it was not critical.Thanks for chiming in
PS: warming up?

For analog devices you are sometimes just waiting until something got its working temperature. In this case, it is just "waiting". -
The DSP needs to have at least 53°C. Otherwise it's not vintage sounding enough and the KPA would suck!!!!
