Having an integrated metronome would make the Kemper not only an amazing studio and live tool, but also a great practice tool! I used to connect my Line 6 toneport to my computer and use the metronome in Reaper for practicing. The only way I can do it with my Kemper is to connect it to my Line 6 (and disable everything in Pod Farm), and it's a bit too complicated of a setup for practicing.

Flame war...Kidding aside. There was a thread about this last year.
Most people were not in favour of a metronome IIRC. -
Yeah, that is a great idea!
-
While I believe it won't be done "no matter what they say", I can't say I'm against it
-
Even brand "A" has a metronome and they have a snobbier fanbase!
-
+1 with different metronome sounds to choose from
-
+1 mee too.....
Yesterday I fu..d around with a metronome on my iPhone held to a microphone to get it "on air" in the rehersal... worked but no fun...
-
different sound?
user sounds?
accents?
subdivisions?
odd meters?
visual indicator?
routing options?I´m no fan of a "KPA does it all" approach

Having the Kemper's processing power dedicated to recording and live performance tools may be closer to the needs of the majority of users.

Take a clean profile.
Add delay.
Set bandwidth and center freq to 0.
Mix to 100%, feedback to 100%, clocks to 4/16.
Tap your tempo, then palm-mute a high string and pluck.
You should be able to switch presets and go on playing.Depending on what you want it for, this may solve your issue. I use it all the time with my students.

While I typically want as many features as possible in the KPA, for me personally this is so far down the list that if it's even on the calendar I hope it's years away.

And, that could be saved to your Kemper as an FX preset, with an easy to remember name.
I think this deserves being put in the WiKPA as a "How to make your own Metronome"user tip.
It occurs to me: When the Looper comes along, it will be a built in metronome.

Done, Sir. Brilliant, Sir!

... And of course there is the optical metronome: the TAP button.
Did anyone notice that every blinking button will beat with the tempo being tapped?

Hey, thanks for this workaround!
I have some problems to get it working though...When changing rigs the delay spills over for a few seconds, decreases in volume and ends. Haven't found anything(manual, KPA itself) to get "infinity spillover".
This is driving me nuts right now.(I'm aware that this thread is rather old, but imo better to bump and not start the discussion about the need for a metronome again...)
