puis je partager ton tips sur notre page fb?

Bonjour ! Oui bien sûr !

Hello, I play the guitar in a postrock band (https://linktr.ee/whenwavescollide) and we usually play live with a computer (for click and backtracks purposes).
Some part of our set are incredibly difficult to play with just 2 guitarists and I always wanted to be able to have a looper to record some phrases, synced to our click.

Since we are using a computer and the Kemper does have a looper in it, I educated myself about the NRPN midi stuff and found out how to automate the looper all synced up with any tracks we play.

I wanted to share it here because the journey to make it work was hugely difficult and I think I might not be the only person wanting to do this.

In order to automate the Kemper looper you'll need 2 mandatory things :

- a copy of Ableton Live

- the soft device NRPN Gen 2 (https://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/4893/nrpn-gen-2)

Once in Ableton, you just have to create a midi track and drop the device in this midi track.
You'll need to enter the values as shown in the image NRPN 1

Then you'll have to set your envelopes controls as shown in the image NRPN 2

The rest is pretty much explicit on how to trigger the different modes of you kemper looper !

Let me know if it works for you !

PS : Note that it also means you can automate about anything in your Kemper and make your life easier if you play live with a computer !

PPS : I plan on doing a video to explain everything with a lot more details in the future

Cheers from France

Same issue for me

Yes and under Windows, how to enter values on RM ?

this is the real question GString

Anyone from Kemper to tell us if it is unrealistic ? GString maybe ?

Want to see something crazy other brand can do ?
How is this possible ?

I’m not letting die this thread

I guess 2021 will still not be the year for common sense.

What is an Ipad?

Yeah pretty funny. But why bother developing something that works like ass. They should stick to code new effects if they can’t listen to the experience of the rig manager.

Try to shift key on an iPad my friend… BayouTexan

The real question is how to get people at Kemper Amps to read this and consider answering if this is possible or not. Cause it's been more than 1 year that I'm waiting for this.

Hello, I'm sorry to dig up this feature but it's driving me crazy... What's the point giving access to an application to manage the parameters of a rig if you can't enter them manually ???

This is tedious as hell and making me wish Kemper amps hires (or fires) in the UX area...

I have a mac mini with the M1 chip and everything is smooth (updating, sharing profiles, changing preset values (even if we still can't ener them with a keyboard, but that's a different story, sigh...).

I guess we're not getting this feature anytime soon...

remember that OS8 is a KPA operating system. We will need to wait for a new version of Rig Manager to see if the feature get added. They are two different things.

Yeah, but with a new KPA OS comes a new rig manager and this feature isn't a major change I guess. So this could be something they slip in among the updates coming. I'm grateful for the free updates and great effects and stuff coming but this grind so much my gears when using the rig manager...

OS 8.0 Beta is here and yet pretty sure we won't see this feature added...

With the confirmed arrival of OS 8.0 some time, maybe rig manager will have this feature...

Next : O.S. 7.5.5.19628

It really depends on how they built the UI. But I imagine it's been deprioritized because it's not a blocker or a bug. Users can still set a tempo, it's just not ideal.

If it is deprioritized, It would be a huge bummer... But I know the game of priorities when It comes to software development, i am a software engineer.

This is just a critical design flaw that makes me hating using this RigManager.
