Hello Kemper Team
What about Rig Manager for Mac? When?
Some friends and me are Mac user with Kemper and we don't understand why Rig Manager doesn't work for Mac

Rig Manager for Mac? When?

This has already been explained several times.
It doesn't work for Mac because the Mac software isn't ready yet.
Mac development got priority now AFAIK.
When is it ready? When it's ready. -
The problem with that, Ingolf, is that "it's ready when it's ready" is not an answer. A timeline would be wonderful, especially considering the overwhelming majority of studios run on OS X machines.

Run it on a virtual machine until Mac version come?
I know it's a pain to make this just to run a little software but..
-
Mac power user here, and my Window machine runs XP, as does 30% of all computers, which means out of the 5 computers in my house, ZERO are compatible with Rig Manager.
Lame.
Something like 47% percent of computers currently are non compatible.
To run virtual on a Mac, the cheapest compatible version of Windows is about $100 (only 5 times what Apple sells OS X for). Bill Gates is back to being the wealthiest man in the world, and he doesn't need anymore of my money for a lame product.
Hopefully this Year for the Mac version!

This is not an answer either because this still needs the Windows which is not a free OS. So if you are a mac user withOUT Windows, you can't do this either.

Another downside of the Kemper, there are very few things to complain about, so I'm forced to complain about those same things in different parts of the forum

I don't have high hopes for anything in the near future. The existing beta appear to be heavily based on tool-kits exclusive to the windows platform. I.e. porting to OSX is practically a complete rewrite. Not to mention that maintaining multi-platform support in the long-term with very little shared code is a massive undertaking. A community development-project might be a long-term option, but I doubt that will happen unless the available interfaces are made public and properly documented.
-
Running in Parallels works OK, but is a giant resource hog and can't be running alongside MainStage. Not a real solution for me.
-
I run an SSD in my mac and I partitioned it to allow for a bootcamp setup. I run Windows 8.1 on that partition. Takes about 8 seconds to start and runs fast without issue. I just switch between the two operating systems as needed and add or delete rigs as needed.
-
It is a tad frustrating. I have Windows 8.1 on my Mac, running through Parallels. I would rather not have Windows on my Mac at all, but I will deal until the boffins FINALLY (hint) get the mac version done.

Kemper said later 2014
It was a complete surprise to have it done in 2014 in the first place.
I have a Mac, and can't wait. But enough already. Give the programming team some room to breathe, People.
