Assignable Level Meter

  • It would be cool, perhaps in KPA-II to have either an external or internal level meter and the ability within to assign it. So you can go to input, check the meter, go to an FX, check the meter on input and output, etc.

    So you can see the smooth integration of your volume throughout the unit.

    In a perfectly ironic world, I want this to be an ANALOG meter of course! But I can handle an LED or Digital Simulation of one I guess... or maybe the I/O to be able to hook up to one sold as an Accessory (do I have the Kemper team salivating at another economic opportunity as MILLION and MILLION get in line for such a high priority device?)

    Ok, this is part Fantasy Post, but part "maybe it's not such a bad idea", of even if eventually there is a software editor capable of monitoring at each level such things.

    Or is this strictly not necessary as each component is programmed with a limiter to prevent over-volume issues internally? (technically I did NOT ask to look under the hood... technically.)

    “Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination - stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one - million - year - old light. A vast pattern - of which I am a part...
    What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvellous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it. Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?”

  • Wow

    Hard to do, but you HAVE shamed this Chemist and Particle Physics laymen enthusiast.
    I'm imagining converters and chips and boards and wires and LEDs and thinking "now THIS is the Universe at my finger tips!"

    :)

    Uh, so it seems that I've generated two consequences... the first of which I did not really expected :o

    Yep, as a researcher I've learned that the more we know, the deeper mystery hides itself. Fascination stays untouched!

    I've written a short poem about the transcendence of electronics, but I'll probably never be able to make a proper translation into English for you :)
