And Cristoph Kemper says, “Let there be a new Kemper Pedal,” and with a wave of his hand (and a strong dose of his admirable, and some would say magical, musical gear engineering), releases the Kemper Profile Player.
What DSP did he build this exciting new product on?
Needless to say, legions of Virus owners must be asking the age-old question, “Is Kemper writing code on a new DSP platform, or do they have a new and not ‘end of life’ version of the Freescale chip our Virus runs on?” What does this mean for the future of our beloved synth platform? Or does this mean nothing at all for synth players?! I wager the latter, but we’ll see…
I’m already thinking that I might replace the IK Multimedia Tonex pedal I play guitar through (with the help of some pre- and post-Tonex effects courtesy of my beloved Virus TI2 Desktop) with this seemingly amazing new product.
The speculation is undoubtedly rampant. I’m excited by the prospect of all the energy that will be expended discussing and arguing about this!
Let the forum pyrotechnics begin!
