Routing flexibility would be the only real loss. As with Helix Floor etc. you can process an entire band with a QC preset. (Well... a small band... if you had to.) A “dual cortex” would be be better suited to a single guitar path.
I’d sooner measure in units of time, and to be fair, the clock started ticking at least 5 years ago.How many posts does it take to go from being excited about a new modeler to deciding it's complete and utter shit?
Is it a non-sequitur, though? How many other platforms with profiling/capturing capabilities and pre/post effects could potentially downsize to compete with Kemper in this space?
For $200.
Benster, there is discussion of MIDI over USB stuff somewhere in what has been released - on the product page or in the videos.
Because it’s repackaged technology, not a redesign. But on the brighter side: it also ensures Rigs are compatible between other Kempers (I think?)
This is the other shoe that I figured would eventually drop. Promo elsewhere says it will play your existing Rigs, but this implies otherwise. Disappointing.
I read somewhere in Kemper´s promo or webpage that it´s compatible... within the 4 fx blocks limitation.
And provided the rigs in question don’t use any of the algorithms that have been omitted in the Player?
Yeah, I’m trying to sort this out even as we speak lol.
The manual clearly states it manages 2 pre and 2 post fx blocks. So it´s clear that the supposed compatibility with normal rigs is just half-true (or half false).
It’s still a lot of functionality in this form factor, but being able to universally share rigs back and forth would have been more elegant. You have to wonder what the cost difference would have been. Maybe it was a UI issue, given Kemper’s penchant for discrete physical buttons, etc.
Compatible*
