Any New OS updates expected ?

[Timo]

The last new collection of features (TI OS v5) were announced January NAMM 2012, then beta'd June 2012 and the stable version was finally released December 2012. Only bug-fixes have been added since then - the latest being OS v5.0.8 back in February (2014). So we're looking at two years since OS v5 was released.

Could well be that they've stopped development of TI|2 and are gathering features for a new TI device. It's anyone's guess. But given that the current TI's have saturated the market and that the company relies on hardware sales for profit they would need a measurable update on any such new device to tempt existing users to trade their old ones in for it. No small feat.

However, the same company develops and manufactures the range of Kemper Profiling Amps (KPA) for guitars as well, which has been a hive of activity these last few years. Latest KPA OS was released 28th July (late last month) and it appears they're doing workshop tours with the KPAs throughout September and October. So KPA wise, they're all guns blazing. Christoph (Kemper) remains very active on the KemperAmp forums.

In general, though, seems both the KPA development and its placement in the market is becoming quite mature now, so hopefully they may turn their attention back to the Virus.

Kemper Digital have 18 employees which together develop both KPA and Access Virus.
