Rig Manager on Linux

  • did you try open core legacy patcher for the old mac? i use my old 2013 mac running os ventura and it works ok.

    I did, but there are other applications that I use that are no longer being supported. It has become a bigger pain to use sadly. That said, I am still on the fence of getting a new one and going back. I don't mind windows, but mac integration is so much better.

    Time passes, and everything gets newer and more fancy. I use Windows and Unix/Linux professionally. But in recent years, Windows has increasingly degenerated into an advertising platform. The average useful life of a Windows computer is five years. Apple systems last about seven to eight years. A system manufacturer who recommends its customers to enter cryptic code sequences into the system registry automatically disqualifies itself.

    Oh, I totally agree... In fact, this new version of Windows is pushing the limits of what I really like to deal with. I still use Rocksmith 2014 and a few other Windows-based apps that I am hanging on to for now. That said, I will probably go back to Mac for my next box, but I got a really good deal on a Predator Helios 18 with a 4080 GPU. That will be my rig for the time being and if Windows continues to decline, I will push Linux on it.

    Everyone has to find something for themselves. I feel very comfortable with Windows, while Mac is too limited to paid software and too strictly monitored to meet standards. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty with Windows to achieve your goals. Besides, the alternative is Linux, which in turn is very limited to open source software. Of course, if you only use 1-2 programs and nothing else interests you, then Mac is a cool thing. But if you're a bit of a programmer, a bit of a musician, and you use a variety of programs, Mac is very limited. This is, of course, my opinion, and you don't have to agree with it. But for me, Windows is a compromise between the openness of Linux, but with a lack of serious solutions in some areas, and Mac, which seems totally closed.

  • Kemper claims that they support 4 systems, but it is not true.

    The mobile apps don't fully replace the desktop Rig Manager.

    A browser based option would be great.

    Rig Manager is the only reason why I have to keep Windows installed on a VM and along it years it has becoming really frustrating.

    Linux support will decide where I will move to when I have to buy a new guitar amp. I would love to keep using the Kemper, but it is too frustrating.

    Lets learn to count to four:

    1. Mac OS
    2. Windows
    3. iOS
    4. Android

    Bonus: iPad OS

    I see 5 systems. As easy as that.

    I like Linux, but in this case I'm happy that major OSes are supported properly.

  • I've just re-read your post. If I'm not mistaken, Midi is only available on the USB B port (same as rig manager and audio over USB). The USB A port is only to connect a stick for backup/restore/FW upgrade.

    Try with a USB B to C cable

    If something is too complicated, then you need to learn it better

    You probably did not read my post carefully.

    The IOS and Android apps don't replace the desktop Rig Manager. You should know that.
