They could have done this so much better. They saw some of the mistakes ndsp made and thought hey let’s run with that!

^Yep :)

I have less than zero evidence for this, but it seems like that when the V2 KPA Hardware was announced and shipped, Profiling V2 was still in its "White-board / Embryonic brain-storming stage" and KPA *had* to announce it [ or something ] to justify the release and need for V2 hardware.

KPA's handling of this whole "Profiling 2" feature has been an unmitigated cluster-f*ck ... with zero signs of ending any time "soon"

To me, this new software version taking 6 months already with no release is exactly the pattern of multiple previous Kemper developments - the delays, the reverbs, liquid profiles, the trems etc etc. Many of those took 9 months or more from when they were first shown at an audio show like NAMM or the Messe to being downloadable as a free OS revision. Sometimes, the beta release phase went on for some months beyond the first release.

I imagine that, to CK, this is all business as usual and all the chatter online is of no consequence - the dogs may bark but the caravan moves on as Paul Keating (Australian politician) used to say.

Yeah I fully expect it might've been e.g NO POLITICS related to get product into the US. Without enticing uses with V2 profiling, there's very little to make MK1 users jump for MK2.

Even when it releases, I just don't see how it has much to offer vs Tonex V2 or QC Capture V2. If the Nano Cortex gets that update, then I don't see a ton of appeal to Kemper Player either.
