NETWORK - are there more things to come?

Chruschdy · January 19, 2015 at 9:52 AM

I was wondering since the first day i got my profiler.

There is a port called Network on the back as we all know.
But the thing that makes me think about it, is the chosen label on that port. As far as i know, the most competitors that use a RJ45 for their footswitches describe these ports as "controller" or "switch".

After the remote release it was stated that there is the possibility to use normal (powered) Network switches to connect more than just one remote.

The thing that i am thinking about, is that there may be some more gadgets that can be used in the "Profiler-Network"... maybe in the future there will be some kind of "Addon-Effects-Processor" or something like a fully integrated management tool software via ethernet for synchronous controlling of multiple profilers which could be really helpful for the bigger stages.

The Kemper guys said that the port was exclusively for the remote, but a port called "network" instead of "remote" or "switch" or whatever lets me dream of various possibilities for the future.

But maybe it´s just a unlucky choice for the label and i´m thinking too much ...

What do you think?

Well, the sky's the limit, isn't it?
Maybe some day there'll be an editor, maybe there will be not only network control of the Kemper but also network editing.

You never know with CK, and what he has up his sleeve for us. Since I brought my first KPA 2 years ago it's gone from strength to strength, and lots of new features have been added so let's keep our ears to the ground and see what happens next

Yes, one thing we've learned is that we will indeed see enhancements, some of them amazing. We've also learned that we don't have a clue what CK is thinking ...

This is true. No crystal ball here.

This is the scenario I foresee myself

Connecting multiple Remotes to one Kemper makes me think that one Remote could also be hooked up to two Kempers
