I thought it would be really cool if we could manage our performances in a better way.
Supposing I have 150 songs with my rock band A, including covers and I want to dedicate an individual performance to each song and all its assorted changes. Not necessarily playing all in one night, but I have all these songs.
Suppose I only want to play 20 songs on a given night. With the existing performance architecture, even if I backed up and restored performance, I would still have the performance slots in a sequential manner. This would make it necessary for me to recall where exactly a song was within those 150 performance slots in order to recall it.
Wouldn't it be better to be able to just create a set of performances, drawing from the 150 songs and associated performances I have created, and then be able to load just those 20 songs in a sequential manner from performance slots 1-20 in the Kemper?
Things get even more complicated if you are in more than one band. Is the song in performance 30? Or 120?
It can be done manually, but can you imagine copying and pasting performances through the existing mechanism?
It would be great if we could just simplify this process in the interest of smooth sailing at a gig.
My suggestion for an improvement would be something akin to a "setlist" of performances that could be loaded on to the Kemper. Perhaps creation of the setlist should be limited to rig manager. The set lists should be derived from the larger bank of performances we have already created.
But they should be easily swappable from a pen drive, so I could just load one setlist, or another setlist with minimum fuss.
Using these set lists would load all our songs for the night in a given order starting from Performance 1
