To you perhaps. From your point of view.
Which is myopic.

Del/rev as a global mix isn’t there.

I'm not saying Kemper is not professional at their tech level, they are GREAT. But management wise they seen to be more amateur than they should.
No. That’s not harsh and ridiculous at all.

…send the “super-midi” N _ _ _ messages (sorry cannot remember the acronym!!)
Pretty sure NRPN is the answer. From 128 to 16,000+ ??
Fair to call that ‘super’. -
There's no such thing as quantized record and playback when using midi clock. You can sync the tempo when using midi clock, but that's all.
What is this super-midi you're referring to?
NRPN

So.. not that careful after all.
For me - I didn’t say they never use the word.
I said (quote intentionally) they almost never use it.
Everyone else feasts on that word. As if that’s the only thing that mattered. -
The other thing is, the definition of accurate seems to be pliable for a lot of people. Accurate according to whom?
I think avoiding that debate altogether is smart.
You either like the product. Or you don’t. At least for me, accuracy doesn’t enter into it. Do I like the way things sound or don’t I? Do I like the way things feel or don’t I? Beyond that, I really don’t care.
-
The truth is - the people that throw the word accuracy around all the time aren’t Kemper employees.
They almost never use it.
It’s everyone else.

Why would you need to take it when ut us empty? Anyway you can always pack it with socks and pants.
I use this from Lowepro.
This is a valid point. I’ve do this all the time when traveling with ‘hard-side’ bags/boxes. You lose basically nothing in terms of space.

Maybe consult Studio Slips.
High quality, but not overly expensive with many custom options.

so, nothing yet...
Neural DSP released the new Profile 2.0, it’s time for Kemper to do something if they want to stay competitive and attract new customers.
First it was the release of the Stadium Kemper was supposed to worry about- now it’s NeuralDSP.
Kemper seems to work on Kemper’s time. As they have. The new Profiling will be available when it’s deemed ready.
Were it not for whatever discovery they made - for years 2.0 was said to not be possible. Now it is.
I read it as not delaying or dragging their feet - I read it as ‘we figured something new out’. My guess being around the time of Liquid Profiles.Which were actually alluded to in 2011 - but they couldn’t figure it out and dropped the idea. Until they figured it out.
Less marketing and competitive BS and more mad scientist trying stuff to see what works. Even Line6 said ‘We’ve tried to figure it out, but couldn’t. Christophe managed it’

Thanks man :). The Dunning–Kruger effect is strong in here.
You’re not wrong.
-
Sorry, but you're talking nonsense. The DSP chip is used for all DSP audio operations, including profiling.
Whatever.
The idea they’re obsolete before Profiling 2.0 even releases is pathetic. -
The Freescale chip is for Profiling. Whatever its limitations- that’s not where the effects live.
I suggest a lack of faith due to comments like
“I must switch to another modeler because I need a stage in place of my actual toaster. The fact that the same DSP (14 years old or even more) is reused is logically rising me this question about evolution potential. And unfortunately the questionning is made stronger when I see the inprovements and the way they are proposed on MK2 (example: the fixed effects: preselected simple ones and no flexibility regarding their positionning). Why such limitations?”
You assume the old chip has anything to do with it. I don’t know for certain- but I very much doubt it does.
That chip is for Profiling and nothing else. That’s been said repeatedly - even in this thread.
As for fixed effects (which, again has zero to do with Profiling 2.0) - who says they can’t or won’t open those up in the future?You don’t know what capabilities exist any more than the rest of us. People were looking for a Kemper 2 almost immediately after the original was released. New delays, reverbs, drives, treks/vibrato, Kone technology……
We found out a Kemper 2 wasn’t deemed necessary for a long time.
Not until they figured out a way to improve the Profiling process.
-
Ye of little faith.
They updated the Mk1 for over 13 years. Never changing the underlying hardware.
Today - the Mk1 is still competitive in the market.
Why would anyone think the Mk2 isn’t at least as capable? -
0% chance IMHO.
Agreed.
-
The discussion of DSP for effects/location/features is outside the discussion of Profiling 2.0.
The Mk1 Stage has the same Profiling abilities as the rack/head. Identical.
It’s way faster to boot, react….etc. That extra performance has nothing to do with Profiling.
-
Unless the code is intimately integrated with it. Which it is.
Christophe has been working with that family of chips (Motorola/Freescale/NXP) since at least 1997.
-
That's interesting. Do you have details about the design of the new profiling that you can share? What profile processing at playback time would not be running on the DSP chip?
I have zero insider information. All I know is that DSP has never been cited as the limiting factor related to playing Profiles.
There is SO much else that can change besides one DSP chip to improve performance. -
You may be right. I suspect the limitations we see with fixed effects indicate there isn't a lot of DSP horsepower available.
When specifically discussing Profiling - which as we’ve been constantly reminded that this is the focus of the thread - the DSP is less of a factor.
