Hi,
Delay in boot time is there to simulate "Tube heat-up"
Joke aside, critisism seems not be appreciate here ... I agree that kemper team did a great job on the device itself:
- the sound !
- the quality of the FX
- most of the stuffs are easily managable through the device UI
... But i also agree that the rig manager have huge lack of basic functionalities : ok, it's free but as the OP said :
- before RM, using the USB stick and the ridiculous slow speed of the USB put the device to another age !
- RM is fine to easily try a lot of rigs but
- the search function is awful : unable to filter just on an amp, or cab (like the web interface provides)
- the way to arrange your rigs is strange (only to sub-folder)
- performance ??? cab ??? MIDI assignement ... All those things are hard to handle from the device itself
- MAC release (personnaly, i don't care because, i'm a PC user, but all MAC users must be annoyed by that)
Lot of people are claiming about a foot controller ... i think there are many things to fix that are more important than a FC (there are alternative solutions that work well)
