Rig Manager on Linux

    Just a update for others who might be interested. Im using the app scrcpy and just mirror the screen from my android tablet to ubuntu and that works!
    So in this way you need a android tablet/phone but can work from the ubuntu machine desktop.

    Not ideal but at least i can work from 1 screen with 1 mouse, and the android tablet serves as an extra cpu just for rigmanager usage.

    Another update screen mirroring is totally crap working much too much latency. I found an old android samsung tablet and this one is connected via wifi over the player. I have positioned it as a secondary screen and thats it. working from an iphone is not the solution for me working from a tablet is another story. An iphone or an android phone is simply a too small display. An tablet gives you much more overview.

    If you can afford buy a tablet it makes a lot of difference is my experience with rig manager.

    Trying to mirror or trying to emulate rig manager on a linux system is totally a waste of time is my experience no success

    Period.

    For what it's worth, I downloaded the Rig Manager app onto a virtual Android device running from Android Studio, but wasn't immediately able to get the device synchronised to my Kemper, and didn't proceed. I would guess that the virtual device is connected to a virtual network and therefore cannot see the Kemper.

    Here is one more i installed it on my Linux system and i was able to install MAC OS latest Version 14.5 maybe dis will help

    Thanks Yoda but i will give up to get Rig Manager working on Linux. No matter what solution i tried it did consume too much resources which i would rather reserve for my DAW instead. Aswell all solutions did have a lag while rotate the knobs or the GUI stuttered. I'm happy now with an Android Tablet and Rig Manager and placed as second monitor beside my Labtop and it works fine. Meanwhile i hope Kemper will invest time to get Rig Manager to run natively on Linux.

    I don't think so. Ever since Rig Manager was introduced, there has been the question of a Linux variant. There are probably legal reasons for this, or the development environment chosen by Kemper doesn't allow it. If Kemper were to open the communication protocol (USB and network), one could think about an open source project, but that will never happen. Maybe Toast ME by Damian Greda is worth a try. But I think he stopped development in 2019 due to lack of demand.

    Be the force with you ;)

    I'd also like to see a Linux version in the future, I've tried using KVM/VirtManager (both Windows and Mac VMs) but it's pretty inconvenient compared to having a native version. I really enjoy using PipeWire/JACK when recording and can't use the USB input/output from the Kemper for audio when the USB signal is passed into a VM. Maybe the Kemper team could put some resources into trying to fix the issues with Wine if making a native version isn't feasible.🤞

    A lot of people here do not believe that there will be rigmnagaer linux support in the near future, i do hope they are wrong

    For me the same story i run Kubuntu 24.04 LTS with great success, real good performance wise compared to windows.

    They are right. There will be no Rig Manager for Linux. We support four mainstream platforms now, so there is a lot to choose from already.
