Rig Manager 4+

I could not get my iPhone to connect to my Kemper Stage (iPad was fine). Solution was to go to Settings -> Cellular and turn it OFF for Rig Manager. Now it connects!!

App is great for editing on the fly and not having to bend over to do so. Wish you could browse through your profiles though!

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.

For the profiler player, I was frustrated when the mobile app would not connect. It turns out you have to first load rig manager on computer with usb and then from the computer edit the wifi setup and store the ssid and password. Once that is done then change the phone or ipad wifi to match what you input. This is weird and counter intuitive. Once your network is resolved the mobile app will work. I would like to see the apps show factory and community rigs but it will only show installed rigs. You can install rigs using the desktop rig manager via usb. Again, weird but since the Player device has no screen, necessary.
