A Kemper VST from Overloud ?

wahwo,it's great

Bias had a tone match option but too but it's not in the same league as the kemper.

Quote from ChristopheSeyler

Note the look of the module / rotary button , the name of the parameters you have access Look familiar

Hah, holy crap. They even modeled the leather strap handle on top.

Has Kemper's patent on profiling expired?

Gotta hand it to them. They have some balls to reproduce the leather handle as well as all the rest...

Apparently doesn’t expire til 2026

Proprietary technology? If Kemper's process is patented then either we have a completely new way to profile amps or a massive lawsuit...

Think they might have gotten around it by only offering the “Player” to the public, not the Rig “Sampler”. It doesn’t say anywhere that users can profile their own Rigs, only that Overloud’s engineers can.

From Slate Digital:

“OVERLOUD TH-U

AMP PROFILES IN THE BOX & SO MUCH MORE

Overloud TH-U Slate Edition is one of the biggest additions ever to the Slate Everything Bundle. With TH-U, Everything Bundle members get over 100 modeled pieces, including 30+ guitar amps, 19 cabinet models, 33 effects modules and pedals, and 18 microphones. But perhaps the biggest game-changing feature of TH-U is R2M which stands for "Rig 2 Model". R2M allows Overloud engineers to reproduce the famous amp profiles from one of the most popular hardware amp profiler. “

Wow, this is interesting

What does that mean? Reproduce?

Does it mean that you can load Kemper Profiles in the VST? or does it mean that they can load them and then offer to the users?

I think it means that they create their version of the profiles and then offer them as packs to play in their player.

Kemper officially reached classic status. Emulated in VST. Now, things get interesting from here. Since this looks like a Kemper clone/emulation, but Kemper itself profiles other amps, I think we getting into meta universe here. Simulation within simulation.

On a darker note, I wonder what CK thinks about it... "Overloud engineers to reproduce the famous amp profiles from one of the most popular hardware amp profiler"

For me that reads "we have reverse engineered .kpr files and we can load them into our own modelling engine"

Edit: I just checked their website, they don't word it like that.

"TH-U is able to load rig profiles created by sampling real setups.

The Rig To Model (R2M) proprietary technology allows Overloud engineers to sample and capture the response of an entire rig, including the nonlinear and dynamic response of the amplifier,"

The plot thickens...

Very interesting ??

So they use patent tech to create a product but never sell the actual patented tech to get around the patent?

Huh. What the hell would be the point of the Overloud Engineers being able to make a replica of a replica....??

- "We can now profile the profiler when it runs a profile!"

- "uh, OK... But why?

- "So that now we can get the great amp tones that are available in the profiler"

- "......So you found out you can't program realistic amp tones yourselves, and now you reverse engineer PROFILES OF ACTUAL SETUPS...?"

- "...."

- "I mean, why not make your own representations of the actual real gear?"

- "..."

- "Which profiles are you gonna reverse engineer anyway without infringing copyright"?

- "......."
