Being that this is the first iteration of this device, even with the updates, everything is not perfect.
They got a lot right, especially the tones and feel. Which is the core of it of course, but....
But of course after it has been out for all these years and all of the things learned, by themselves and through the community, the hardware, at the least, could be much improved. This is something they can't update.
Along with some software redesigning or tune ups.
I could be wrong but what I read from people with more knowledge in this department, the hardware may be a bit limiting. It may not be future proof enough.
May this be why they are still working on the effects? Hardware limitations complicating things?
If they came out with a version 2 KPA, I would buy it for sure if-
The display was much larger, higher resolution and would show everything for a section on one page.
This could improve the menu system greatly. Even though many feel they did a fine job, it still could be better.
Less people would want or feel a need for an editor. Myself
included.
The pots were of a higher quality. As far as the lateral rigidity goes.
Faster boot times. I only have 20 Rigs on mine and it takes way too long.
Better Processing? Memory?
A version that does not have profiling capabilities. To save on price possibly.
If it had all the changes that I would like but without profiling capabilities I would still possibly pay what they go for now.
This is not a complete list of what my dream machine would need but it would be enough for me to buy another.
Oh, I would want a private heads up telling me when it was coming out so I could still get a decent amount for my old one.
What would it take for you to replace yours with a new one? Besides a larger bank account.
