Why "fuck that school of thought?"
Read quotes below by happy Kemperites. By "school of thought", I meant the statement that "If I don't get an editor for the Kemper, I'm going to leave". I don't think a lot of us think like that, and it's just like throwing a tantrum imo.
If someone wants to sell the Kemper over the lack of an editor which was never promised, never originally included, and may never be developed, I'd just like to point out that they're free to do so. But that frame of mind is destructive, like a kid destroying his toys because he didn't get the present he wanted for Christmas.
I doubt many are moving to other units because of an editor. While handy, its not a total deal breaker. There are various reasons I don't like the Axe and China made Helix I have no interest in. For me Kemper has everything I need PLUS ease of use, small form factor, etc... When I talk about the need for a PC editor, I am talking ICING ON THE CAKE!
I'd like an editor and I think that, as the Kemper gets ever more full of cool features with endless parameter pages, it would do many people a big favour to have one. I remember being told 'you don't need a librarian' by some forum folks before Rig Manager came out. I haven't yet seen anyone wanting to give that software back as, once you have it, it makes the old method of putting rigs on a USB and pressing panel buttons seem a little clunky!
No, I'm not threatening to leave because I don't have an editor.
I don't think there is any reason to be upset that there is no editor for Kemper. It is a nice wish that may be provided at some time in the future. We should leave it at that. It's Christmas time guys.... time to be a little more understanding ..... give a little more and take a little less.
Now .... Im going to jam out for a couple hours on my crippled Kemper (crippled because it has no editor ). It will be very difficult to enjoy my jam without an editor, but I will simply have to cope I guess!
Seriously, there's no butt hurt for anyone if someone sells the Kemper for an Axe or a Helix over an editor. That's actually pretty laughable if you think about it.
I'm definitely one of the guys that thinks those devices aren't capable of as good tones as the Kemper. At the end of the day, even if I had a clunky interface and better tone versus a great interface with crap tone, I'd go for the former every time.
If an editor comes around, good for all of us, I know I hate to have to kneel to make tweaks.
But please, none of these tears and whining about how you (and 26 other unhappy customers) will sell if you don't get what you want.
And despite the butthurt chorus fuming at my suggestion that I might consider another avenue without the convenience of an editor...
Lol. It's all about you, man.
