Why do the defenders of the QC walled garden feel the need to defend it when people aren't criticising it? What people ARE criticising is the fact there's no option BUT to use the walled garden. When choice is deliberately restricted, then don't be too surprised that there would be a negative backlash.

Just so everyone is aware. If they don't EXPLICITY state they are being paid to promote a product then they must put the disclaimer on the video to let the viewer know it's NOT a review...

His video was a paid sponsored video. There is nothing else to elaborate. He got paid to push the QC ahead of the Kemper which was the competing product. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. It's not complicated.

Look at what your monitoring solution is. The profiler can only sound as good or bad depending on what you put it through.

And for a lot of players who already have the KPA, adding a second profile in stereo and a few cosmetic enhancements may not justify the replacement considering the exceptional value that the original KPA still offers. If some major feature that most absolutely cannot live without is created for KPA2 then that's a different story. As of right now, I don't see the cost advantage..... yet.

"All file transfer has to be done through the cloud with the exception of local backup files once the desktop controller is out.

With the desktop controller, you can create a local backup file that you can restore in another QC once you login to it with your cloud credentials, which is neat if your device is stolen or you simply want to have the same content on more than one device."

I guess that answers it.

I'm not waiting on a V2, I still haven't finished exploring the possibilities of V1 after 7 years.

And there's still more new stuff to come with V1. More drives etc.

Having your content locally opens up the ability to transfer files outside of the Neural cloud marketplace so they are hardly going to allow it.

Hey, it's your money. You pay your dues you take your chances. I'm not as invested in it as you so I see it for what it is...

”What I meant, and should've said was that we want to create the best free sharing platform in the world, and within it, eventually, also implement an elegant solution for professional, commercial users to sell their products in a way that protects their intellectual property while providing a better experience for our users.

That's all there's to it.”

He's telling you their plan and their plan is to turn their cloud into a marketplace. Yes initially the content will be "free" but that's not going to remain like that. Why else would they go to the trouble of setting up a monetisation structure if they are not making it a priority? The fact you are PAYING to play this thing should be enough but it's not. Welcome to the Neural Walled Garden. Good luck with that... ?

"IP protection for the authors."

DRM! Oh that's bad. Nothing good comes from DRM... ?

Oh man, that sucks being tied to a cloud service like that. That is an instant no no.

It would require a new remote with AD/DA converters to convert the audio into digital information. Then they would have to apply audio to the Ethernet protocols. Only Kemper know if this is possible with current KPA hardware.

No one does synth better than Kemper... So that's a major plus there.

Imagine what it would be like having to pay for the Kemper Drives or the new Reverbs and Delays? We should count our lucky stars.

I understand them just fine. I just don't find them to be particularly useful.

Get over yourself. You're not "the expert"

Good grief.

You are right. I'm not the expert....

But this lad is...

I’m well aware of what those controls do, having owned a Kemper for 7 years.

Yet you still don't understand them otherwise you would not have made the statement you did.... Longevity of ownership != experience if you don't use the thing...

If they offer an updated add-on board that gives faster I/O performance in USB and general processing tasks like booting, that would improve the Kemper no end.

Wanting a new UI on a piece of musical equipment meant for creating sound is like buying a car because it has a cool entertainment system...

"I think the selectable/adjustable mics in the cabinet section of the QC will take the place of controls like Definition and Clarity i the Amp block, and Low/High shift in the Cab block."

Nope. The cab section of the QC won't emulate the amp settings in the KPA. The cab block won't be able to allow you to change the dynamics of the tube shape, the reaction of the power transformer, the pick attack, etc. Good luck if you can get moving a mic around on a virtual speaker to do the same.

Watch this video for a detailed examination of what those controls really do...
