Isn’t it a simple task of loading the previous OS13 if you are unhappy? It’s not like trying to downgrade an iPhone.

Its safe, but be prepared to make adjustments according to about half of the users who have done it. Dont do it in the afternoon if you have a gig that night
Agreed that you shouldn't do this on the day of a performance, but my tones have not changed since the update.

If you find Kemper Transpose unusable, I'm not sure you will find anything else much better. I use it live for 5 or 6 songs and it was a matter of getting used to the slight latency. The actual sound is very good.
First off I used a Stomp in slot 1, but it felt slightly better in the Rig setting. Maybe because Smooth Chords introduces more latency?
-
Yeah, talk about a messy video...
I guess it shows why they prefer to remain silents and let the product do the talking.
A brilliant development mind isn't necessarily a good presenter:-) I'm sure the whole process will look a lot more organised in a well edited video.

Ok, people. Thanks for helping me clear this up.
What a pisser, to have to buy some kind of hardware computer.I guess I’ll get a Surface Pro tablet that runs full windows.
Don’t you have a friend with a computer for such a simple task?

I'm using the Kemper transpose regularly for live performance and have got used to playing with the slight lag. Switching to the Rig version seemed a little better, but it's hard to judge with any accuracy. Of course a lower level of latency would be welcome, but that could reduce sound quality.
-
I've just done the same, - Transpose is way quicker with the new processing power, the really bad lag is gone. It still dulls a bit the further you go down, still not Polyphonic like the Line 6 but way more usable
Is the Transpose confirmed as being quicker processing on the MkII, as this would be a reason to upgrade for me? I think it has always been polyphonic though?

Last summer we played an open air festival mid-afternoon, where the rubber feet on the keyboard stand melted to the stage. Also the laptop gave up because of the direct sunlight.
My Kemper rack just took this in its stride and carried on working. The biggest fault in the Kemper business model is that the MkI is too good!
-
In Live situations, the two channels are "combined" so the man at the desk has less work and the volume of both channels are the same.
I have to say combining the Double Tracker to mono is really not a good idea in any situation. You'd be better off without it. Stereo is the only benefit.
-
In my opinion it would be nice to have a balance option within the double tracker parameters for both Fixed DT and "normal" DT.
This would be really great.
Look for the software version before this was fixed. It used to be even, but the effect gave the impression that one side was louder. With a slightly raise volume on the effected side, everything sounds even.
Whatever you prefer, it's easily fixed on a mixing desk live, or input volume on a DAW.
-
I can't really find a reason to upgrade my rack, but you have to say the MkII is great value. It's the same cost as when I bought mine 10 years ago!

I like how the kemper sounds when the profiling works, it has been the best sounding digital modelling unit i have so far BUT it makes me terribly frustrated that the algo is not able to profile some amps. I have a total of 11 amps, and the kemper is not able to replicate one of them, while also strugling to capture random settings on the others in a semi-often frequency
I also had a problem with one specific amp. Each time a band came into the studio I tried to capture his JCM800 with a Mesa cab and it never sounded right. Others have managed it though, so I must be missing something.
-
I have to admit that my first thought was, I hope my profiles don't sound any different on a MkII.
-
My rack is now more than 10-years old and it seems a long time for a CR-2032 to work. What happens if it goes while you are on tour; will it work as normal until you have time to sort things out?
-
Mine has been updated and the releases are always stable. Sometimes I get a refusal to update and it says to contact Kemper on the screen. However, I just run the process again and it goes through fine.
With a platform around 15 years old, I'm more than happy with anything they offer now.
-
what is this empty space for?
You can fit a power amp in there.

You have to find new arguments for your wife
If only there was more to justify the purchase than faster loading times. Unfortunately I'm happy with my Kemper tones already.

Per Leo Gibson, the latency of Mk I is 3.2ms for most uses.
Don't think Mk II changes anything (because he's tested the KPP which is already Mk II).
P.S. While I'd like this to be lower so I can run full wireless (guitar to Kemper ... Kemper to IEM), this is not a bad latency spec and few will notice any difference until they add twice to triple the latency from other sources.
Doesn't the latency stack up with each effect added though? 3.2ms is nothing compared to my wireless system, or even standing a few meters from a real amp.
The transpose effect latency is what I'd be interested in and whether that has been reduced.

My expert Google searches (as opposed to being and expert on the topic….so YMMV…..) deterministic analog measurement, at fundamental level, it is *not* a form of artificial intelligence. Making it a different method from what the Tonex or Quad Cortex capture methods do.
Whatever they’re doing - it seems they’ve found a method they consider superior and enough of an advancement to shout about it.
In general……Germans don’t do that sort of thing….😉
I'm not sure many of us have even heard of deterministic analog measurement, but if it yields some good level of improvement, I'd be interested!
There were some chains I could never get to accurately profile, so maybe this will help.
-
They always stated that there was little room for improvement on the original profiling, so don't expect night and day difference. Personally I feel that any failing in my tone is more down to me than the Kemper Rack I own.
The only regret is that they didn't squeeze the rack into a smaller 1 or 2u version. I get that this would have increased costs with major redesign though.
