  • Hi,

    First of all, many thanks to the Kemper team, for making this app available for Android! On first use, it seems to work perfectly by either using my Samsung Galaxy S20, or my Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

    I'm not sure if there's a specific area of contact to send the developers any notes, but I do have one thing that I'd love to see implemented.

    I'm really hoping that in time, that it's possible for some kind of 'drop down' list (or similar) for the 'Performance' section....in other words, I'd like to use the app to help me instantly go from Performance slot 2, to say, Performance no. 19 for example. This, I'm sure you'll agree, takes out the need for either constant tapping on the Stage/controller to scroll through performances, OR the press and long hold method.

    Many thanks,

    Ben.

  • I have tried hotspot mode. The app finds my Stage, but upon trying to connect the app says something about allowing the app access to network or something. And the connection fails?

  • The app works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S7, the only android device I have. It works with both my Stage and Rack units. I only had to connect to the networks the different units are connected to. The network for MY Stage is "KP Stage" (the name of my Stage unit) and the network for the Rack unit is "Starbase", (the name of the network my Rack unit and X 32 mixer are connected to. The app sees either profiler as soon as it connects to the associated network.

  • Hi,

    I connected my Profiler Head to the wifi with and ethernet cable. My router sees the Kemper (an IP is assigned) and I can see that leds are on the Ethernet port of the Kemper.
    When I start the Androip app on my phone (Moto G5, Android 8.1), the app can't see the Kemper and it is possible to start the app only in demo mode.

    Is there something wrong in the way I am connecting the Kemper to the wifi?

    Thanks,
    Luca

    GString thoughts?

  • Hmmm... that's all I did, and it worked immediately for my old tablet running OS 8.1. What OS are you running on the Kemper?

    Can you check to see if there are any updates for the phone?

    If not I would try uninstalling the app, rebooting the phone, and re-installing the app.

    uninstalling, restarting and re-installing did the trick.

    Thank you, dmatthews, for reminding me that in 2023, the good old shutdown and restart is still a viable way to solve software/hardware issues.

    And thank you to the Kemper team for delivering this long awaited feature.

  • Perhaps a bit off topic. But how is the WPS button supposed to work? I click it, but nothing seems to change. Should the display show something? Or perhaps the button should flash? What to expect?
