There won't be a KPA 2.0 for a very long time (imho), for several reasons:
- The haptic user experience of the KPA is very thoroughly researched, unique and visionary - in its essence comparable to iPhone / iPad
- There are two different units available already: toaster and rack.
- It is designed to scale for new features without hardware changes.
- It does include hardware not really being used til now, so more to come.
- A LOT of improvements, bugfixes and NEW features had been introduced by just a new software release (aka firmware upgrades)
- And it scales for FREE!! I've never ever seen anything comparable like this before in any industry. An interesting combination of open source (rig exchange) and closed source (hardware, etc.)
- The product has an appealing but polarizing design.
- It definitly adds value to anybody using it, being hobbiest or professional.
- They are just about to increase their trustworthy ambassador base (evangalists), though being quite very reluctant/hesitating with endorsments.
- The company seems to have an autocratic/dictatorial mastermind as leader (CK instead of SJ)
Looks like they studied Apple quite well
So, I'd rather expect Kemper charging us for firmware V3.0, than introducing a new model, soon. The corporate strategy seems to focus on selling the existing hardware concept for a long time, before introducing a new model of our beloved Kemper.
