[MusicTlk] Is the Kemper profiling amplifier accessible?

[TheOreoMonster]

This is a matter of personal taste, but for me It’s difficult to justify the cost of a Kemper if all I am able to do is load and play Riggs others created but I am unable to build one from scratch with out sighted assistance or a lot of patience memorizing everything on the unit.
If you like the NueraalDSP plug ins build your own Qua cortex with a Mac and MainStage and a couple of AirStep MIDI controllers. The best part is you aren’t limited to just NueralDSP plug ins but any amp sim you would like to use. Have an amp you want to profile? Use N.A.M to profile your amp or pedals or etc and use them as a plug in in your MainStage set up. 
I have been Exploring MainStage and feature wise you can get it to do what these Modellers and Profilers do and then some as it possible to trigger backing tracks and the like with it as well.

I did contact the company and they did not seem interested in working on accessibility not even further librarian app, etc. I currently own the Kemper profiler stage and so far, I can navigate patches on the unit, and, there are many dedicated knobs for things like volume, dry, EQ, etc. as far as the rig manager app for Mac and Windows, with jaws, or voiceover, I am able to update the firmware on the camper, audition, load, and delete profiles from the camper, and that’s about it right now. Still, it’s more access than the other units apps currently provide so it’s something. I really hope the quad cortex becomes accessible at some point. I like a lot of their plug-ins and actually purchased a few although I haven’t really had the time to dig into them yet. If you want a unit that is more blind, friendly, look at the Hughes and Kettner, black spirit 200 floorboard.
