I had the same problems every time with pre 3.0.2 versions on both Windows and Mac .
Now with new RM and 3.0.2 -no any issue with Yosemite , RM works fast and flawlessly !
(Kemper fixed it, its more than clear 
)

Don't quite agree that PB is just a Gain .
I am using it a lot, almost in all of my new rigs , both in Pre stack section and locked in a X slot .
So, depending on rig it self and amount of existing stomps, PB will have different effect .
If it is about clean rig- it will just add Volume , some clarity, or better to say sharpness.
If I add the real Gain on clean profile- it will result in clean profile becoming crunchy or brownish , not clearer and sharper.But if you add PB before overdrive or booster , it will add a gain , but only in Pre stack section .
In X slot section it will be just louder , no change in "gain " , gain will stays the same ....At least this is what I hear when playing with PB.
Main use of PB in my case is to decrease impact of my pretty powerful Anderson pups , so I put and lock PB in B stomp , PB volume is minus something depending of rig , and than add PB in X slot , but plus something to help cutting the mix , and make it more articulative ,if you know what I mean ..
Just my 2 centsps
on the end PB has just one parameter- Volume , it may tell you something as well...Without PB my rigs will never be so gooooood !!!
(it took me 3 years to realise power of this incredibly simple , bur gorgeous effect !
Thanks Kemper for that. -
OK, MW free rig pack is again ready for download .
Is this the same one which was there few weeks ago?...It looks the same, at least amp/profiles names are exactly the same ?
Any changes in this new version ?
Why did the previous version was removed after all?
Thanks ! -
Trick is in BB preamp in a front of Kemper .
This is what he use in a front of his Mesa amps . -
MW profiles are fully packed with latent high gain energy ,ready to cut through the mix or for live gig battle .
One may like it or not, but MW profiles are truly DIFFERENT than any other profiles I tried so far.I am not saying better or worse , I am saying different.
It looks like I am playing an amp with all control buttons on 11 !
But still with soul, definition and natural sound of the real tube engine .
When playing some of them very loud through the real amp -cab , it looks like I am playing solo guitar with Black Sabbath or some of the famous Hair Rock bands right there in my studio .That feeling cannot be explained, one must to play it, hear it and feel it ....
If talking about Kemper machine possibilities ,and this is the point I am trying to make here, its telling me that our dear commercial profile producers just scratched a bit the real KPA profiling possibilities.
This is my main impression after checking these profiles done by one of the world's most acclaimed producers, MW him self.
Profiling is everything , and seems to be endless in improvements .....Shame I am not producer, I will enjoy so much in this race for the most natural and organic sounds....if you know what I mean.
Good time for KPA will still have to come, just wait a bit , you wouldn't believe ....!
Cheers,

Now, leave the Wolf alone...case closed. Welcome!

Can you tell us something about Afrikaans popular music .
-
They looks like a mix /live gig ready , aggressive and with looots of distortion ...(well most of them)
I had to decrease gain on all of them.
Warning : not for the bedroom players, obviously ...Anyway, big thanks to MW and Kemper !!!

Yeah, thanks for answer Andy .
I was wondered why Guthrie left Conford, and switch to Victory amps.
Now I know !
Here is Guthrie checking out my Red Tom Anderson ,few years ago,.... what an artist and amazing personality , so humble and pleasant character ..
(sorry for changing a subject , but Guthrie is probably the most known Victory amp user...) -
Still playing free Victory profiles,thanks Andy , and find them stunning !
Will buy full pack for sure.
LP, Strat and Tele profiles are REALLY LP, Strat and Tele -this is amazing !
I have only Strat , but my another few guitars (Tom Anderson) can sound like a LP and Tele and beyond .
Another , very ,very interesting findings is that treble (E,B G) strings (on all of my 6 guitars) are sounding more defined , louder and separated than on any other profile or real amp I had tried before.
Usually , on both real amps and all the rest of profiles ,including rest of the TAF ptofiles, bass strings are sounding bigger and more defined , where treble strings are simply covered and pushed on the side of the mix by bass ones, if you know what I mean , especially when strumming chords with some distortion in .
In the case of Victory profiles, I can clearly hear G, B and especially E treble string very loud, defined , with lots of fricking sustain , while bas strings , even still well defined and loud - do not over run treble strings in the mix .This is like I have two different pick ups, one for treble and one , with lower output for bass strings.
Did anyone noticed the same thing ???
(It is so obvious that I played with pick ups height adjustment for a while , thinking something is wrong with pups setup .)
PS
Question for Andy : does the real Victory amp sound like that as well(in regards of string separation described above) ? -
Dear Kemper Team ,
Please get that "ignore button " back .
Thanks a lot in advance.

He he ...when I want satchuration, I simply press buttons on my Satchurator ,works well with Kemper...
-
Do not worry , I used to play via valve amp head/cab with cab off function not ticked off for a while ,until Forum helped me .
Sound was terrible.I spent max 10-20 minutes in total reading KPA manuals in the last 3 years.
Guitarists do not read manuals , that's nothing new.
Greatness of KPA is that one doesn't need to read Manual too much neither.

My Yosemite works flawlessly with Kemper last Rig Manager .
Strange, I have a feeling RM works better with Yosemite than with Windows 7 on my lap top .
I do not use USB stick any more ,except for OS update .
Kemper should consider OS updating via Rig Manager though.Welcome !

Subject says all - please Thomas , do some more profiles , this time commercial , no problem, just do it .
Somehow, PW profiles come out as far the best for my specific guitars and set-up.
For all of you who may missed it , there is a link from PW session , free for download on KPA site :

Is there anyone to draw some very simple picture, schematic or similar , and explain what da hell is goin' on ?
You know, that famous drawings each vacuum cleaner manual has, showing Kemper, cable in , cable out, speaker, amp, cab, whatever ...Why do you make is so complicated ???
This simple technical thing, not a false history where everyone have his own point of view. -
Dear Moderators ,
I do not like you (in generally, sorry
) but please do not allow these guys to transform this pleasant , useful and peaceful Forum to something like a TGP or even worse to something so sad and ultimately against free mind like that concentration fractalian forum .My answer on the OP question /dilemma :
Fractal is a digital device which sounds and feels when you play it like a DIGITAL device .
KPA is digital device which sounds like and feels under fingers like you play your guitar through REAL VALVE AMP .When you close your eyes , and use only your fingers and ears , what is the result ?
AXE- one can feel and hear DIGITAL device
KPA - one can feel and hear VALVE AMP .Case solved , and it is up to you to choose.
ps
all of the rest ,those overcomplicated factors, pros , cons, and similar stupidities between two units are for the guys who are not real guitarists, but only tweakers who DO NOT KNOW how and why to play guitar.
Such a guys deserve Axe. -
Everything went fine Gstring , thanks .
Received email from KPA support , saying I can still order using credit card .
My status of early bird has not been cancelled , even my two previous Pay Pall orders has been cancelled , or has not been cancelled , which I , to be honest , do not understand pretty well
A little bit weird situation , but anyway, I still have EB status (thanks KPA team) and I can still order via credit card without paying for and receiving 3 Remotes , just one .All in all, this is all what I was looking for, simple answer .
Cheers,
Zoran -
Or I can sell them each for $1.000
