Kemper Remote
== Kemper Remote ==
The '''Kemper Remote''' is the official foot controller for the KPA. It connects via the '''LAN port ''' on the back of the KPA, supporting '''2-way communication ''' as well as '''power over a single cable'''. It features 14 footswitches (2 for bank/performance up/down, 5 for performance slots, 4 for toggling effects on/off, a tap tempo, a tuner, and a looper). Up to 4 expression pedals can be connected directly to the Remote.
Each effect footswitch can be assigned to toggle on/off up to 4 effects, and what each footswitch controls is saved per rig.
I don't actually have a Kemper Remote, so if I'm missing functionality that creates an advantage over other foot controllers, add it here please.

== Morphing ==
OS 4.0 introduces '''Morphing''', a feature where any continuous parameter can be defined the following:
* a '''base value'''
* a '''morphed value'''
* a '''rise time*'''
* a '''descend time*'''
''* these affect triggering morphing from a footswitch''
 
On pages 5-10 of the System Menu, expression pedals and footswitches can be assigned the morphing feature. It can also be easily assigned to any effect button for the Kemper Remote.
 
Multiple (any or all) continuous parameters, including those in the Amp and Cab blocks can be assigned a morph value. While some view this feature as a multiple-parameter gimmick, if nothing else it allows continuous control over ''any'' continuous parameter, greatly expanding the out the box functionality of any expression pedal. Morph values can be set higher or lower than the base value. The expression pedal heel position corresponds to the base value, and the toe position the morphed value.
 
The morphing procedure is to tap the Rig button. It has a bottom LED and top LED - the LEDs switch when Rig is tapped. The bottom is the base value, and the top is the morphed. So press Rig until the bottom LED is on; set your base parameters; then press Rig so the top LED is on and set your morph parameters. That's all there is to it. The assigned morph pedals or switches will now control those parameters.
 
Morph settings are saved per rig. To erase a morph for a given parameter, either reset the morph value to match the base value, or sweep the base value through the range of the morph value (if base is 1.0 and morph is 4.0, sweeping the base value from < 1.0 to > 4.0 will clear the morph entirely).
