- ☑️ Profiler Stage
This concerns the new pulse slicer tremolo effects in the 12.0 BETA release. Awesome effect, BUT effectively un-useable without some way to sync it to some external source in order to tie it to a song (click track / backing track etc).
Typically most pedals that try to do this (like the Boss Beat Slicer pedal) use some midi clock feed but I've found this to be extremely unreliable and equally un-useable to really do the whole "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths or "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day type beat slicing. The most reliable way to do this is to use a triggered gate with an external audio signal. I currently achieve this with a Drawmer DS-201 in the effects loop of the Kemper with an audio trigger coming from the backing track etc - rock solid. However, it would be awesome to do all this internally in the Kemper - a) that's one less box to gig with - and one less thing to go wrong!! and b) One less D - A : A - D conversion to do, and Kemper's internal controls for the tremolo are really good.
Suggestion, what if we could send an audio trigger in via one of the effects loop returns, and this could trigger the pulse - it would also mean you could have the trigger be any rhythm you want rather than being stuck to 1/16ths or 1/8ths etc etc
