After installing this and connecting my KPA to my router, my iPad found and connected immediately. No issues whatsoever. Editing just about anything works great. There is one major thing missing though - the ‘explorer’ Iike view provided in the desktop version of Rig Manager. At this point, the only way I see to change rigs is to literally hit the next or previous buttons. On a devices with thousands of rigs, to say this is tedious is an understatement. Changing effects and effects blocks works great but not so much for amps. I only get a handful of options for ‘amp presets’. These are clearly made up of presets saved in the presets on the KPA. Great! So I created a few new ones and stored them in the ‘All Presets - MyProfiler’ folder. They show up as amp presets in the desktop version but not the iOS version :(. This is a big deal. For this to be truly useful, I need to be able to get to different amps. I’m willing to create presets for the amps that are important to me but that doesn’t seem to work at this point. I thought this might be some kind of refresh issue so I closed the iOS editor and restarted. The new amp presets still don’t show. This is a REALLY good start but isn’t truly useful to me yet. I can turn any knob and scroll through rigs but I really need to be able to build rigs.Given that this is version 1.0.0, I have no doubt this will be addressed and I can’t wait.

This is a pretty helpful app save for one massive frustration. The next best thing to owning a Kemper is… collecting great profiles. Many of us have dozens or hundreds or more. You have ten thousand plus on your own Rig Exchange!So imagine not being able to select the rig you want without having to scroll forwards or backwards — one at a time! A simple drop-down menu would save this app! Please!?

This app works great, totally unlike the pc app, which I have to constantly reinstall. There is some ancient version still on my oc somewhere, and for some reason, that creates conflicts with the updated version. I can’t find or remove the old version. It would be great if this app also had the capability to let you browse through your rigs, if it did, then I would never have to use the ridiculous pc app again.

The other reviewer seems to really hate Kemper Profilers.According to the Manual Addendum 8.5, the Kemper Stage supports direct and secure wi-fi connection for practice and venue situations and connection via WPS in non venue situations (like at home or trusted networks). Personally my network is not WPS enabled. Direct iPad connections seem the most likely method for me. Since I can connect my Mac directly via USB in the studio or at home, the iPad connection is exactly what I need for gigging. Seriously, if you’re that worried about someone hacking your Kemper profiler to steal your profiles you’re probably better off with a tube amp or an acoustic guitar. Or maybe a Pod Pocket.And let’s face it. This isn’t about the hardware. It’s about the iOS app. It works like it should. And works great.
