a genious friend of my is building me a new midi controller with 10 knob plus bank selections.so im planning to to use 5 knobs as a rig selection, another 5 gonna be like a,b,c,d and mod on/off. but in the other hand thinking of i have compressor or noise gate on A stomp all the time and never touched it. so 3 stomp on/off would be enough. so here is the question. what would you prefer to add that empty knob?

Depends on how you use the controller live. Some would say tap tempo, or looper, or tuner. I like having the buttons open to program however I want them to work so you're not locked into What you pick right now. Today I use the delay mix a lot instead of a morph pedal and then a volume boost for leads is the other one I use a lot.

thanks for reply sean. i've already added the loop on banks so thats ok with that. i'm using tuner with my volume pedal aswell. so tap tempo was my other idea. just trying to see anything different.

Delay on/off is also pretty useful I think.
-
Tap delay tempo / bpm
-
Tap tempo or Morph. Honestly if I had a FC built I would include NRPN capability as well so I could access the looper.
-
booyah im so sorry. nrpn???

NRPN is short for Non-Registered Parameter Numbers. It's basically just a different type of midi message sent from a controller than the usual CC or PC messages. They can control the Kemper's looper, work volume boosts without having to use a Stomp slot and more fun stuff like that. Check out the Wiki link for more info:

i see. but the news is, i can already use the looper functions with sending 3 cc commands at the same time. here's the link that helped us :

Cool I didn't know that, hadn't looked at this since I got the remote a few years ago. I could never get it to work with my old Roland FC300, maybe I was the problem lol
