I've been a Linux user for the past 20 years. I almost don't even use Wine since I've found a native replacement for most things. With that said, I don't think it would make sense for Kemper to invest energy in a Linux port, even if I would be the first one to appreciate it. The HiDPI part of the editor is not even done in Windows so I don't have much hope for Linux. However, with the iPad app using the network instead of USB, I can see an update to Rig Manager that would run off the network instead of relying on the USB drivers. Then, I guess Wine would be able to run it and I would be really happy

Same here. It's unusable on all my guitars. I'm not sure what's wrong with my setup.
-
Is it a CR2032 like most computers?
-
I don't have an iPad but I consider getting one. Is it a full-blown Rig Manager replacement or only the editor part?
-
I hope that they will retro-fit the network support of the mobile app in the desktop version of Rig Manager. Without the need of the USB driver, I guess it would run pretty good in Wine...

Plus getting the app approved by Apple can take quite a while, and it's beyond their control.

I think you guys are over-engineering it. You can just use something like that and use just about any router you want...

Maybe my workflow is different, but I'm really happy that the toaster can connect via the LAN port. This way, I can just add my Kemper to the same router that my Behringer X32 is connected to and use a single network
Amazing stuff!! -
the Remote is communicating using standard TCP/IP , so yes: you can route the traffic through standard (PoE enabled) network switches. (be sure to use only type 'A', and no Gigabit PoE enabled equipment: as mentioned in the manual)
I already asked a question about this in another thread. Here was the answer...
-
Hmm maybe. My X32 digital mixer is connected just like that, and it works perfectly.
-
the ethernet port is for the Remote.
Why should it be exclusive? The remote speaks standard TCP/IP. You could always add a PoE switch if you need both at the same time.
-
Given that the original rack/toaster had an ethernet port, I don't see why it couldn't work for these devices too, albeit with a wire.

Rig Manager for Linux would be great!
Please release the sources of your Kemper USB driver and I guarantee you magic will happen. The "oh my god our IP" is just a reflex and from my current investigation neighter the Rig Manager Software nor the Kemper Device driver is rocket science (and I am still not sure why there is the win8 requirement - my bad bet is that this is not a requirement of the USB device driver).
You may know that alot of the linux kernel device drivers (were initialy)/are reverse engineered Windows/* device drivers - this just takes alot more time and testing effort for people/devs that are giving you the "Kemper Rig Manager now supports Linux" feature for free.
I think it's more complex than that. Even if they wanted to release the source, I don't they think they could because of the license. I think I remember reading somewhere that the USB driver is made by a third party. Don't get me wrong though, I'm a Linux user and I would REALLY like a Linux native solution for rig management.

I agree. It sounds amazing with headphones, but it's really tricky to set up. When it worked it worked really well, but sometimes, out of the blue, it seemed to create phase issues randomly, without even changing anything.
-
Same here! There's another thread about this hiss:
-
Looks very good, but I don't see any code on GitHub (only the LICENCE and README). I'm on Linux so this project is very appealing to me.
-
With sparkle and bronze all the way down, it does get rid of most of the noise, but it really does not sound the same...
-
Trésor in French means treasure. Might be the same in German. Not too far from the truth ?
-
Same! On all my guitars. I noticed it's even worse when I use a wireless adapter.
-
Thanks! I'll do that!
