How cool would it be if you could have a polyphonic tuning option as well
Polyphonic tuning mode

This cannot be implemented in realtime at a cost regular consumers can afford, Brent, which is why you'll not see it anywhere in the hardware realm, if it's even possible today.
If I'm not mistaken, it can't even be run this way in software on powerful desktops yet; it'd still require a decent look-ahead time... for now... AFAIK...
EDIT:
I can't answer Martin's post without waiting an hour, so here's my answer, Martin:
We're talking about two entirely-different things. I thought the OP was talking about realtime polyphonic pitch correction, which is also called "tuning", as in AutoTune's case. Realtime polyphonic pitch correction Melodyne-style in the Kemper, IOW.

Hmm?
-
Well yeah, lightbox exactly why I thought it would be cool if Kemper could do that too.
-
I used to own a Polytune. The 6-string-at-once thing was cool for the first day or two, but after that just didn’t prove to be practical nor accurate enough. I found tuning one string at a time to be much quicker and much much more accurate. Also, trying see that tiny display standing up to tune the 6-strings at once, not happening ?
Anyone else find this to be the case?

Ok, I see This should be done right inside the guitar (see Line 6 Variax guitars).
Regarding the polyphonic tuner request ... it's a nice to have feature if it's done well. But since resources are limited I rather have other things improved first.
-
Definitely! It’s a nice to have and other things are more important!
Though I guess Kemper would be the first to ever implement a polyphonic tuner in such a device.
Oh well, just a thought ?

This is very true. If you want to try it out on a budget first, Polytune is available as a phone app. Like Vernon, I found it to be a gimmick.
-
Weirdly enough, I've used it a lot and it worked great?!
Maybe the two of you had a bad unit? -
The app works just fine, but I just don't find I tune more than one string at a time. Now I have an Evertune bridge and it is even less important.
-
No I had (have) the pedal version
But I don't want to drag anything else around except my wireless system, which is why I had posted the idea. -
It shouldn’t be hard to add to the display as the KPA already does polyphonic tuning internally. If you look at the tuner lights on the front panel of the KPA it shows whether you are in tune or not but doesn’t need you to play individual notes to do so.

+1!
-
I might actually be wrong on this one. I've just been playing around putting one string out of tune and it looks like the lights just latch onto the loudest note in the chord but I'm not really sure.
-
I've always assumed it's just an indication that the engine is trying to make sense of the input signal, Alan; even an analogue tuner would react this way.
The second you play a single note it's able to recognise the fundamental frequency and produce a meaningful "readout".

The Boss GT-100 has a polyphonic tuning mode and the awesome feature, that it recognizes if a single or mutiple strings are played and automatically switches between the standard and the polyphonic mode.

If Boss can do it, Kemper can do it too
-
Actually I like the TC Polytune. Quick check the tuning and if needed String per string.

Agree about it being a gimmick.
