yeah, sits in PRS soft gig bag pretty nicely.

I think a lot of people feel Kemper has made a few cash grabs with the Player since it's release. Is that true? I don't know - they've always been a great company, but maybe things have changed.
I don't think that Kemper as a company changed and I don't see any malice in their action. I suspect they just had to reassess their strategy and readjust based on sales. It just doesn't look pretty for people who bought the upgrade because of morphing, mostly because this happened not even 3 months after introducing levels. Was there a way to do it better? I don't know, maybe not.

This is also widely discussed in this thread
Epic way of pissing off even most loyal fanboys.

I must admit I am also a bit frustrated. Payed just for LVL2 and now it is for free. Morphing was the only reason for me to upgrade. That does not feel right. Who will ever do updates if it could be that it is for free the next day?
I even pitched KPA and morphing to my bandmate and talked him into upgrade, so he could get most of his new device... this feels even dumber than paying for my own upgrade.

They are where they were (but level III here):

This world is always unpredictable, brother.
Morphing is a big part of KPA for many of us and many of us paid extra primarily for this feature. And while I still appreciate having 8 FX slots and 625 presets to have parity with Toaster and Stage I find it a bit unfair to move one of most important features from paid to "included" level. This made us, early adopters, look a bit like a gull.

yay! thank you! works perfectly.

The main point of this change would be ability to adjust in 3 dimensions at once in Rig Manager. All modern EQs use this model and somehow it works.
I don't buy "tune by eye" argument - it is like saying: useful features should be blocked just because someone can misuse them. Yes someone will misuse them - so what? It is just a tool.
In rig manager there is plenty of space to put EQ UI, and it could even be a pop up window. -
Would be awesome if we could interact with EQ in graphical way instead of knobs in Rig Manager - just like everyone is used to in DAW - where we can move points in two dimensions to adjust frequency and gain and scroll up/down to adjust Q. This would especially apply to Studio EQ, but all EQs could follow the concept. EQ's that don't allow to adjust frequencies could have corresponding dimension locked. This UI feature could be a user preference.
It would make setting EQ more efficient, fun and in line with all modern digital EQs I can think of. -
Over 2 months later this still doesn't work - making it impossible to toggle effects using one hand only... Would like to ask for releasing new version, even it would be the only fix.

thank you very much - dual rectifier in this archive is next level!

Make votes non-anonymous and problem solved. Also, I wouldn't pay too much attention to a single vote - could be a misclick - happened probably to everyone at some point in this or other form.
Looking at this from different angle someone could just simply not know that this was free gift and could just genuinely not like the profile - can't please everyone - tone is subjective.
(damn, now I would love to get this profile to check it out by myself
) -

Rig is not just a profile, it is also set of 8 effects. How should morphing behave in case two rigs are using two completely different sets of effects? How to morph overdrive into delay? I don't think it would work.
-
wow, awesome tune.

Finally got my dream guitar ‘again’, it’s taken me a long time to get back here.
Is this old Artisan Series? I've got similar one, but dark red (rosso) - absolute weapon.

By switching to Stage you'd get WiFi access, so you could operate it from your phone. You'd also get additional true-impedance circuit which would maybe fix your problem with fuzzes.
By switching to Player you'd get Wifi, true impedance circuit and Bluetooth, but you could not operate it without phone / tablet (basic levels) or even computer (Level III to get easier access to higher banks).
All units with up-to-date firmware can act as class-compliant audio interfaces over USB, they differ a bit in number of channels, where Toasters / Racks have 2 channels while newer Stage/Player have 4 channels.
Whatever you choose - all units have learning curve and require some effort. You can work with Kemper support on fixing your setup issues - the already helped dozens of people and most likely faced exactly the same problems you are facing multiple times. Even better if you had a local friend who knows how to operate Kemper and who could help you with the setup. I personally think that you can still get huge milage from your current unit, once you jump over these small technical hiccups. No need to spend extra money until you want to have different form factor of Kemper.

If what we provide is not enough for you, please don't install the beta. And please shorten the subject.
I don't think this release notes are enough for anyone... But, because Christmas is coming and we should not waste energy on anything else but joy, here is my gift to you: a template for future middle finger style release notes which will hopefully piss less people off:
Dear customers, we are thrilled to announce immediate release of new beta firmware which brings many improvements to inner workings of your beloved device. Although changes are not immediately obvious from UI or sound they make Profiler run smoother than a butter, more stable and will elevate reliability of Profiler to entirely new level, setting new industry standards, once again! We kindly ask you to install new beta and let us know what do you think?Cheers and Merry Christmas

That last one I got almost a year ago... I have a PRS problem...
You sure do! I see 11, so you don't have unique PRS for each month of the year. This is serious problem and I think you should fix it before Christmas!
That being said. As much as I like PRS-es these are the only guitars in my collection that require regular baths in Deoxit - otherwise switches start to glitch after some time. Does anyone have similar issue? I experience it on both S2 and never on other guitars. -
Thanks Tony G.
Just checked that. The behavior is the same with my Player. When I only open the tuner without the "follow tuner" setting it does not show the note, but the tuner works anyway.
Kinda strange programming
Kemper support explained in the other thread that this is to conserve processing power. Annoying but better this than glitching sound, I guess.
