I own 2 Kemper racks and use them in both the studio but more prominently the stage. I also am a huge fan of the Virus line of synths and have a Polar Darkstar in front of me as I type this. The Kemper gets fairly frequent updates. It works well, it works within the confines of Mac OS updates, it keeps up with demands, it's great stuff in general.
But so did the Virus.
The Virus synth, which was a game changer for modern music, used to get updates frequently. It kept up with changing operating systems and the pace of the industry in general. It hasn't had an update since early October of 2017! Trying to keep Virus running in Logic Pro today is something of a high-wire balancing act. Now, what if that was to happen to the Kemper? Same company. Same management.
It makes me question things such as "future implementation". Yes I remember the days before they finally did something with the Undo, Redo, Copy and Paste buttons. Could they just stop here and say it's good enough?
The question is: Will Kemper users be abandoned the same way Virus users have been? Is it that future proof? Should I be looking for some other company who is hungry enough to take better care of their users?
