USB or ethernet class compilant MIDI KPA driver .
Which features would you like to be added next?

DELAY DELAY DELAY!
Meaning a 2nd delay and the ability to place it wherever you want. Every device on the planet already does that. I've always had a more pronounced delay for leads but sometimes like the slap back delay for rhythms...and I don't want to use outboard gear or make a separate rig for that. I want it in 1 rig. Is this too much to ask? Even Line 6 can do this.

- Studio Eq to be able to not influence Monitorout going to real cab only for Main outs to FOH
- Step by Step tonestack profiling to let the eq work + react like on the real thing
That would be my wishes
-
I forgot 1 important thing
- easier understandable manual for creating + using merged profiles. With muuuuch more detailed info....Im tired of explaining it 53564x to the people even to studio guys that dont get it.
Its not easy to understand and not everyone is a tech nerd like i am -
Yea definitely needed for "delay mix" on my part. Feedback control as well.

Expression Pedal assignable to any parameter... with this parameter... and that parameter.... turning this up.... and that down... and that on... and that off.... all in one sweep of the pedal... PLEASE
Also CC assignable for external equipment. -
I have two major requests:
You should be able to keep all your profiles on the USB stick and load any one to a temporary cache in order to test out and then save to the KPA, as opposed to using a program on a laptop (rig manager). I used to, have about 3000 profiles until a firmware update limited the number of profiles to 1000. I thought that keeping all profiles on removal media like a USB stick allowed a great way to have all profiles readily available to test and search as opposed to loading all of them in a limited amount of hardware memory. So, what I'm asking is to have rig manager software be part of the firmware so no third party comouter is necessary.
Next, while I love the browse function to toggle between my 1000 profiles easily, I really wanted the remote to be able to turn on/off any FX per Rig. Instead, you have to map out the IAs to each FX on a per rig basis. With 1000 profiles, that is an excessive amount of Programming. I should be able to assign any IA to turn on/off any FX. I believe every other foot controller has the ability to assign an Ia to a midi CC to turn any FX on/off globally.

1. Shimmer reverb
2. Stomp delay
3. Tonestack profiling
4. Expression Pedal assignable to any parameter -
SHIMMER SHIMMER SHIMMER SHIMEEER!!!!

4. Expression Pedal assignable to any parameter
This would be a great feature! Especially being able to assign the MIX of the Stomps, the X- and Mod-Slot. With this you could place any external FX-Pedal in e.g. the X-Slot and control the Volume of that Pedal via an Expression Pedal! For me I love my analog Delays (though KPA Delay is also ok) and it would be great to be able to control their MIX by placing it (with kill-dry) in a Slot and controlling the Mix through my Expression Pedal!
Same for old-school analog Flangers, would be a super nice feature as you could control the intensity by adjusting the mix! -

I've mentioned these elsewhere, possibly even earlier in this thread, but might as well keep asking.
Top 5:
-Realistic Spring Reverb
-Realistic Tape Delay
-Realistic Analog Delay
-Improved Fuzz if possible...bring the overall volume down....these stomps are too loud in my opinion.
-PC EditorEverything else:
-Tonestack profiling?
-Expression pedal mapping to any parameter.
-a few more that I can't think of at the moment....Having these would virtually eliminate my need for external effects.

Only one word about 48kHz:
from manual of DSP56721(It's a heart of KPA ) :
"Included among the new modules are
an Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC)," -
Imho, I think the effects side of things should be prioritized in the next round of firmware development.
- Reverse delay
- Freely assignable delay and reverb to any slot -
I would like to be able to see and change most of the Kemper menu options in Rig Manger or a different app.

Welcome!
This is a very clever way to avoid the word 'editor'. -
That's right Ingolf,
It would be very useful if these features could be integrated into Rig Manager.
I have been getting up to speed on all the features of the KPA.
The more I study the KPA the better it gets. It is truly a revolutionary device.Thanks for the welcome!

Make the startup much more faster . It s take 1 minute more or less and it's too much if something go wrong during a live
For faster start up ....just have less rigs ...
Slow startup has been the "elephant in the room" for a long time. There's no justifiable reason why a small computer in the twenty-first century should take over a minute to start up.
And just because there *is* a dependence on rig count doesn't mean that there *must be*. Think about it: if the KPA is reading *every* rig on startup, then that could be done *one time* and the pertinent data stored in an index so the work doesn't have to be repeated on the next boot. Hey, there's even a real-time clock: the Kemper could easily detect when the rig directory has changed and update the index accordingly.
Looking at this from the perspective of other "high-end" guitar processors: My Eleven Rack boots in 15 seconds. My Axe-FX boots in 7 seconds. (While I'm new to the latter, I understand that there were howls of protest from the user base when the AFX boot time increased *to* 7 seconds...)
On the other hand, I suppose I could buy a second KPA *and* a UPS, reserving the second KPA as a "hot spare" just in case I didn't want to wait for over a minute in the (thankfully, exceedingly rare) event that a glitch takes down the active unit. Hyperbole? Sure. For me it is. But I'm certain that touring techs lose sleep over scenarios like this... OTOH, never mind: if a touring band can afford a tech, they can certainly afford to pay for redundant hardware...
Seriously: fix the ridiculously long boot time. It's aggravating. Even a tube amp can be ready to play in eleven seconds.

Wow, TDD, good to see you posting again!

Well, try and shut an iPad off and on again... then start your chronometer
