There is, in fact.

Rig Buttons 1-5 (3)

Press to load one of the five Rigs within the current bank.

If you edit the current Rig – e.g. increase its gain or activate an effect – the color of its Bank Button changes from white to yellow.

To store the Rig, hold its Rig Button for a moment. The LEDs above the Rig Buttons will start blinking. Now, you can navigate to any bank using the BANK Button. Press the Rig Button at the intended location to overwrite it with your current Rig.

Some MIDI controllers (such as my Keith McMillen Softstep 2) have an expression pedal input, so you can combine everything into a single USB connection to the Player.

Personally, if I used my Softstep and Player together (probably will at some point), I would plug my expression pedal directly to the Player and use the MIDI controller for everything other than expression.

Player has the same processing power as all the other Kemper’s, so 8 slots is no harder on Player, other than few foot switches.

As CelticGibson said, external MIDI could fill in the gaps.

I know its not a guitar, but…

I bring a pair of CME XKEY midi controllers with me. They’re slim and 2 of them (25 and 37 keys) fit in the case sold for them. The case straps to my back and airlines don’t give me any problem at all about carrying it on the plane.

I connect them to Logic on my iPad, and practice whatever classical piano piece I’m working, as well as blues improv.

My wife is totally cool with my occasional play.

V8guitar do you choose the axe to match your attire? Do your band-mates have gear color-coordinated to yours?

Such an awesome, crazy cool collection of instruments!

Very interesting. KPP has more in it than we can control from Rig Manager or the built in controls.

Zijing which OS version is your KPP running?

On Sunday, my wife and I walked by a downtown Jerusalem music store we’ve passed many times over the last 6 years. We never walked in, but on Sunday my wife said “let’s see those guitars on the wall.”

Lo and behold, we find a small group of handmade in Israel instruments. My wife convinced me to sit down and play one of them, which I did. They were all amazing, but one just stood out. It played like a dream and sounded like angels singing.

My wife had a look in her eye that I know well. Moments later, she plunked down a credit card and we walked out with this magnificent beauty, which I can’t put down - it just beckons me to play.

The lesson - treat your wife really well. Who knows? Maybe some day she’ll buy you that axe you’ve been dreaming of!

Combo foot switch functions at Player not yet implemented

The 11.0 beta release still doesn’t support combo foot switches.

deadman42 you’re so right.

In this world of online purchasing, we invest so much time in researching, and rarely get confirmation that an item is “right” until we’ve tried it in our home or studio.

spottydog10 neither of your choices is a very expensive piece of gear. You won’t know until you try it whether or not it flatters your voice, so…

Michael_dk is right. It’s truly a question of individual taste and suitability for your voice. That said, my $.02…

The JZ Microphones Vintage series is highly regarded. My V67 absolutely blows me away, and I got it for a steal. I bought it during their Thanksgiving sale for about 65% off, with free shipping. They have these insane sales several times a year.

JZ’s hand built microphones have a vintage flavor, and each is inspired by a specific, legendary and often unobtainable model. I’m not trying to dissuade you from a K47 or C214 spottydog10, but JZ’s V11 or V47 may be worth considering.

My V67 is modeled on the U67, but it is not a tube mic like the original. I’ve never used a U67, but reviews indicate the V67 truly has a U67-like character. Either way, it sounds amazing on my voice.

The Vintage series have an integrated shock mount, which works very well. Even so, JZ push their shock mount and I’m not sure why.

OneEng1 its pedantic, but…

Profiling is not just across a range of frequencies. That’s how on IR works. Profiling considers both frequencies and amplitudes, thus capturing the amp and cab response to every variation in playing and pickup configuration.

My Tonex sounds quite good to me, but my Player sounds better. That’s just my opinion…

Tonex is most definitely a form of profiling/capturing. It is not a “modeler” per se.

Cool product. Capture tech is super accurate. Still, doesn’t sound as good as a guitar processor as a Kemper.

ggo_101 no matter how carefully you try to match the tones, there will be some differences and potential phase and comb filtering issues. That might actually sound good like a two-amp setup…

As I said in a previous post, I own both a Tonex and the Player. Tonex is a nice product. The guitar tone it produces is in a different league than the typical low end modeler.

That said, Tonex does not feel like a piece of “pro” gear as the Player does, and to my ears, it does not sound as good as the Player.

The capture technology in Tonex is quite good. Still, to me, there seems to be doses of extra pro musician Cristoph Kemper magic in so many elements of the Profiler Player. It’s this, along with the professional “feel” of all Kemper products that set them apart from equipment like Tonex. Mr. Kemper understands a musician’s needs in a different level than almost any other electronic music gear designer today.

Just my opinion, and everyone can disagree. If you’re inspired by your gear or plugins, that means it’s right for you. I can certainly understand why a guitarist with a serious pedalboard would want a Tonex pedal over a Player.

This is a feature that will come in future versions of Kemper OS for the Player.

Looks nice.

That said, I own a Tonex. I bought it before my Player.

I’m selling the Tonex. Great device, but for me, KPP is way better.

I haven’t been able to locate it either in the forum or on the Kemper website.

Update: I see it is available in Rig Manager for Windows or MacOS.

Dynochrome look closely at my picture. The end of the wire - the section that actually connects to the in-ear - has a molded plastic cover. That may be what is holding the shape you mold it to. Regardless, it does in fact hold its shape well, as Ruefus said.

This has been my dream guitar for a number of years. When it went on sale at a local shop, I didn’t resist. It’s not a vintage or American-made Guild, but it plays and sounds like nothing I’ve ever tried before.

Through my KPP loaded with Rigbusters’ AC30 Liquid Profile, those mini-buckers produce the chime and grime I heard in my head!
