Sept 21-23 technically

There are two answers to that question. Meterological, the last day of summer is August 31. Astronomical, it's September 22.
I am betting its late.
Kemper seems to put out very good releases that are rock solid ....... but they take their time doing it IME.

I fully expect a ban from the Kemper forum, even though I take great care to be a good poster I can't help but call out over the top ass kissing or talking down to anyone who could potentially be considered as possibly thinking that the Kemper is anything other than perfect.
It also really ticks me off they keep locking feature request threads for the Kemper Player "because it can't do that". THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF A FEATURE REQUEST THREAD IN THE FIRST PLACE.
They might be the worst of the manufacturer forums, and that's a pretty low bar.

On the topic of Kemper, I took the Kemper Player off my desk for a bit to avoid some visual, physical, and mental clutter. I'll fire it back up when the new profiling is available. For now I'm running straight to the Axe FX 3 with the FC-12 on the ground and that's it.
I see a lot of manufacturer forums and they all have problems, but Kemper is in a league of their own. If they spent half the time answering questions as they do editing people's thread titles, it might actually be useful. I find the moderator condescension there to be hilarious, but I suppose I might feel differently if I was the one being banned.

It's like that with any of the brands though, really. Earlier, I'm reading a FB post on a Fractal group, asking about the Helix Stadium, and it's the biggest group of sycophants ever.
"The Helix Stadium isn't even out yet, and it's already behind the FM9!"
"From what I've heard, the modeling isn't even that good!"
I'm pretty sure any one of them would suck off Cliff, if it gave them a beta unit of some sort.
Don't get me wrong; I love my FM9. But Jesus Harold Christ. Relax with the worship.

I get loving your gear but brand loyalty is really weird to me - this is wicked obvious but some people need to chill the fuck out lol

Me too (I am my favorite comedian
)Wow really?
This makes sense. In my view, summer is always until end of Aug. Summer holiday. Or summer break from back in the school days. I guess that gives Kemper a way to buy more time until almost October.

In my country we NEVER use calendar dates to determine when a season start. It's just not something we are brought up doing. I didn't even realize other countries were relying on fixed dates to even google it.

I don't understand it either.
Stadium being great (assuming that it will be) in no way makes Fractal or Kemper (or older Line 6 Helix) bad.
FWIW, The Stadium is not behind FM9. In fact, it has many features (reportedly) that FM9 does not IIRC.
Sound quality? I think it is pretty obvious we have to wait and see on that front.
Still, your point is that some sites are so far over the top for their product that reasonable comparison is considered ban-worthy.

That is very confusing for logistic type stuff. I get it, but man

They seem to think so, which is logically ridiculous.

I don't know if Kemper forum is the worst of such forums, but for me it's definitely bad in its own, unique way.
After a while you get to know this bizzare mix of condescension, lack of involvement when important and obvious questions are repeated, and then the obsessively mechanical focus on shutting down minor "derailing".
Heck, even if it is not true, at times it's felt as if they really dislike their customers...
.. Including the ones basically playing the full time role of Kemper apologists/attack dogs, or some big fans of Kemper who have been super helpful to others for years and years (well, one guy in mind) .. and then are arguably treated like disposable turd burgers.
