I have a 'Kemper Stage' arriving tomorrow so I thought it best to update my Powertoaster to 'PROFILER Operating System 7.0.1 Public Beta'.
Big mistake!
-installed kaos via USB and it hung on 'Midi tables'
-Rebooted and it hung for a while and then proceeded to the new-user/unit input screens (date, time, user name, etc).
-After that my rigs were still there but all my performances GONE. I did not make a backup before updating but did backup my Live performances a few weeks ago so I still have them minus a few tweaks that I don't remember.
-Upon connecting to the new Beta rig manager I encountered issues with syncing; performance kept in slot 1 not syncing and stuck in slot 1 (while all other where deleted by the update).
-Impossible to import the backup performances from library. Succeeded in the end by drag/dropping from Mac/Finder folder direct. Still issues with performance slot 1 not syncing between rig manager and toaster but after some rebooting and fiddling about got it to work.
I have to strongly advice against doing this Beta upgrade. This is the first time that I have the Microsoft Update panic on a Kemper where everything seems to have gone wrong in the update process. I have a background in ICT and I don't scare easily by encountering bugs in new software but I must say that I'm very glad that the next tour is still 10 days away. I will test intensively and if unstable will roll-back to kaos6 before those shows.
Actually, I will probably use the Stage but can't speak on that until it gets here
Bottom line: This Beta update is very unstable on my toaster!! Make sure you backup and have time to troubleshoot or don't install it.
