Updates, Backups and Sharing Sounds 270
If you would rather play it safe, give the public beta revisions a miss and just move from one release to the next. It is
highly recommended to keep the release software current. As soon as we publish a new release, you should at least
plan the next upgrade. Perhaps you want to finish your ongoing tour first, but then you should move on.
There is no reason to be concerned if one release is 3.3.0 and the next is 4.0.6. The step from 3 to 4 indicates major
new functionality, e.g. Morphing, while the other numbers indicate smaller enhancements and fixes. 4.0.6 is just the
first software revision that was good enough to qualify as a release software.
There are two methods to upgrade your PROFILER: Current Rig Manager revisions evaluate the operating system
installed on your PROFILER as soon as it gets connected and suggest a fully automated upgrade if a more current
operating system is available. More information about this convenient feature can be found in the Rig Manager
Manual. The more traditional method involves an USB memory stick. Here are the steps to update your PROFILER
to a newer operating system using an USB stick:
• You will need to use an empty USB stick to transfer the files from your Mac or PC to the PROFILER for the first time.
The USB stick should be pre-formatted with file system FAT32. When you connect the USB stick for the first time,
the PROFILER will format it to ensure maximum reliability. Please be aware that formatting a USB stick will delete all
the data on it! A USB stick that has been formatted by the PROFILER will contain the folders “Backups”, “OS
update”, and "Shared".
• The next step is to download the latest operating system. Updates are free of charge and can be downloaded from
the following URL: www.kemper-amps.com/downloads
• You will find the latest release software under download category “Operating System Updates”. The latest public
beta software can be found under “Operating System Beta Versions”. Select and download the upgrade package.
• Expand the downloaded .zip archive. Always check out the ReadMe document included in the download package for
important hints upfront. The Addendum manual contains useful information related to major new features and
organized by operating system revision.
• Search for the update file called “kaos.bin” in the archive. Copy this file into the root directory on the pre-formatted
USB stick using your Mac or PC. The root directory is the first, or top-most, directory in the hierarchy.
• Next, unmount the USB stick from your computer and plug it into the up and running PROFILER. Follow the on-
screen instructions which will appear after a couple of seconds.
