It's going to be awesome as a gigging tool - to be able to switch between an electric and acoustic even mid-phrase.. well, that's going to be amazing!
it is indeed. I do it already with two piezo equipped guitars (PRS P22 and Parker Fly) but having it as an effect available on any guitar will be a great addition for many.
What's taking them sooooo looooooong

I was just kidding man, I know about lockdown. I'm in lockdown myself. Just a way of me saying I'm an impatient ass.

That's a great way to do it - The Fly has been something I have lusted after for years. Just love the necks!
yes, its a beast! I picked up a a 1996 Deluxe last year and love it.

Amazing guitar, also on my secret drool list
I watched the work on this simulator (I keep my fingers crossed for it) and tried to do the simulation myself using simulator profiling. Until I bought an acoustic guitar and a pair of stereo microphones. THIS simply has no comparison. Of course, sim is useful in stage conditions. But in the studio I'd rather use acoustics. I will post this example of my Furch guitar and NT5 rhode pair. The sim's are lacking of all the body and sting
resonances and this is unavoidable by any sim. Try tapping an electric guitar...
i totally agree Damian. For studio use you would obviously mic an acoustic but for live use a Piezo equipped electric or a simulator makes a lot of sense.
I really can't imagine anyone thought the sim would be used instead of a real acoustic in the studio. For a few parts live, it sounds more than adequate though, especially when compared to an acoustic with a pickup through a PA.
I see no reason not to do it as long as you are happy with the sound you get.
In a mix, most people might not even be able to tell the difference. You're always going to have the cork sniffers that demand everything be done the old fashioned way, but if we were worried about that, we wouldn't be playing through Kempers, now would we?
I don't think the difference is subtle enough to label it cork sniffing. It's really easy to stick a mic in front of an acoustic. I'd always do that if I was after a true acoustic guitar sound.
Live is a different story. ?
Nice playing DamianGreda!
Besides your playing skills, I am missing a good room, mics and the knowledge how to mic an acoustic the way you do 
...so as soon it is released, I will try how far I can go with the simulation.
I am also happy to try the piezo of the acoustic with the kemper acoustic simulator. Thanks to my bad recording knowledge, it might get me further than a badly miced acoustic;)

Fair enough if you are happy to do that, but CK made it very clear that an acoustic sim would never be perfect.
Personally I believe that Kemper electric guitar amps sound almost indistinguishable from the original in many cases. This will not be the case with the acoustic simulator, although I will happily dip into it live.
Lovely acoustic tone Damian - very very nice... Well recorded!
Mixing your classical rock leadsound with a acoustic sound can bring very interesting results.
It is not only about intros and rock ballads.

I agree...I think its unrealistic to expect the KPA can make my Charvel with bare knuckle high gain pickups sound like a vintage Martin. But producing something good enough to be practical, particularly based on what I have heard so far, couldn't be more excited!
It's coming as part of OS 7.5... We are on 7.1 right now so don't expect it too soon..
Thanks CG, Am looking forward to this addition, and possibly one less item on future load in and outs.
I'm not a good guitarists I recorded guitars using the ORTF method in an ordinary living room.
The sound is mainly due to the bell like sound of Furch
@CPHfx I think acoustic and electric guitar piezo doesn't need acoustic simulator.
The sound from piezo sounds already sufficiently acoustic.
I think simulators are designed for electromagnetic pickups.

If you can't tell the difference between sim and a natural acoustic in your mix, you're definitely not a cork sniffer and definitely you shouldn't deal with mixes Cheers!

It's really not as hard as you make it out to be. Most rooms can be made to be good enough with a few additions; blanket hung in the right place for example. A nice mic helps but a basic condenser mic will do a great job. I've achieve good results with very affordable mics.
Then, it's a case of moving yourself around in front of the mic. Move one way and you might get more bass; move the other way and you bring out more of the pick against the strings.
Sure, if you're going for high end solo acoustic stuff you need to up your game but otherwise it really is easy.
