Some of this was info I found and posted in a previous thread in the "other gear" section NAMM thread so I create a new thread here.
So they are releasing/announcing Parallel Path for Bass Processing, and Rig Manager and no one knows what's in this big secret box at NAMM seen in this photo on their facebook news.

Press Information – for immediate release
NAMM 2014 - RigManager For the Kemper Profiler
Anaheim/ California, January 23rd, 2014 (ictw) - Kemper Amps, the
company behind the multi award winning Kemper Profiler guitar amplifier
today announced RigManager. RigManager allows to preview, tag and manage
the thousands of rigs available for the Kemper Profiler. Equipped with
extensive sort and search features, RigManger helps to find the right
tone in no time and allows the guitarist to concentrate on his
performance. RigManager also seamlessly integrates with RigExchange, a
cloud storage system that thousands of Kemper Profiler users utilize to
store their personal rigs and share them with the Kemper Profiler user
community.
RigManager is free of charge and available during Q1 2014. A Mac version will be released later this year.
To learn more about RigManager, point your browser to: http://kemper-amps.com/rigmanager
RigManager Basics
One single application for windows acts as a content hub for the Kemper Profiler.
rigs from within the Profiler, the local hard drive, USB sticks, backups
and RigExchange can be searched, previews and tagged in groups or
individually
only one simple USB connection needed, RigManager talks directly with the Kemper Profiler
Applications
Completely backup the Kemper Profiler
Download and preview rigs from RigExchange. Currently nearly 4000 rigs from users available
Sort rigs on local hard drive in groups and folders
import rigs from third parties by drag and drop
Preview thousands of rigs by simply moving the cursor on screen, mark rigs as favorite rigs conveniently
Tag rigs individually and in groups. The better the tagging, the easier you find the rigs
Search for specific gain settings (“++++” searches for a gain around 4)
Outlook
Rate rigs with a simple 5 stars system directly on the Kemper Profiler.
RigExchange utilises user ratings to display score of a rig. Only rigs
you have previewed can be rated.
Update your Kemper Profiler using RigManager
Mac version in 2014
Cheers,
Mats N"

"1st NAMM News Leak: Parallel Path for Bass Processing
This is a feature dedicated for electric bass, can be utilized with any
other instrument as well, of course. The Profiler offers a variety of
profiles for bass players already, as well as loads of effects and
distortion FX that can be used in combination with a bass. But, just
like with traditional bass rigs when playing through a distorting amplifier
or a distortion pedal, the bass can loose some fundamental bass
frequencies. That’s why a parallel feed of the clean bass signal usually
is mixed in parallel to the distorted or otherwise processed signal for
maintaining the bass frequencies and the original dynamics.
The Profiler now features an optional parallel signal path from the
instrument input straight to the output for exactly this purpose,
bypassing the Stack section and all effects including the delay and
reverb. When the parallel path is activated, it also grabs Stomp A and B
away from the regular signal path and puts both into the parallel path.
This provides Stomp A and B for applying a compressor and an equalizer
individually to the parallel path, while Stomp C and D and the effects
remain in the regular signal path. This is great for both live and
recording situations."

Features in 2.3: Press Release
Kemper Amps constantly update the Profiler Software for
architectural enhancements, performance and effects updates. Version 2.3
new features include:

recording situations.
Analog Octaver – Not only for bass players’ delight
The analog octaver is a classic effect usually used by bass players. But
of course it can be utilized for any instrument. The analog octaver
adds two lower octaves (-1 and -2) to the original signal. This is
achieved with a modeled analog detection circuit which manipulates and
filters the input signal. The Analog Octaver should be used for single
notes only as intervals or chords might create unstable results.
The Kemper Profiler octaver model features significantly improved
tracking for faster response compared to the original devices. The
LowCut parameter finally reduces the energy of the low notes. This
allows for higher levels of both low octave voices without having to
deal with deep growl and rumble produced.
NSA for Tempo - Beat Scanner
The Beat Scanner is a great alternative to using the TAP tempo. The
activated Beat Scanner algorithm will listen to the rhythm of the guitar
and detect the accurate tempo in BPM in a few seconds. It is not
required to play anything special, any riff should do if played with
certain accuracy. Beat Scanner allows for creating tempos between 80 and
160 BPM. The Beat Scanner won’t detect whether the tempo is 70 BPM or
double - 140 BPM. It will choose 140 in this case.
Headphone Space
The Headphone Space parameter adds a small room simulation to the master
signal. When listening to sound coming from loudspeakers the
reflections from the floor, the walls and objects around add to the
original sound. Even a mono signal will result in a stereo image once
the room reflections reach the ears. When listening through headphones
these missing reflections result in an artificial listening experience
that quickly leads to listening fatigue. To avoid this, the Profiler now
features the Headphone Space effect allowing to add virtual reflections
to the headphone signal delivering a sense of room and natural space.
Even a mono signal will result into a subtle, pleasing stereo image.
Hard wired to the Profiler’s headphone out the space effect can also be
utilized for listening through regular speakers or for recording. For
this purpose the space effect is also available for the post stack
effects slots.
Pedal Vinyl Stop
Vinyl Stop is a variation of the already available Pedal Pitch effect.
While Pedal Pitch can create a "dive bomb" effect three octaves down,
Pedal Vinyl Stop will turn the pitch of the instrument down to exactly
zero by swelling up the pitch pedal, just as you would stop a vinyl
record with your hand. No sound is heard, until you swell the pitch
pedal down again, making the instrument sound as the motor has turned
back on again. No pitch adjustments available or necessary with this
effect, just put the pitch pedal to the metal.
Reamping – everything built in to run High and Dry
The method of Reamping is very popular in studios and means recording
the unprocessed instrument signal while recording the processed amp
signal at the same time on separate tracks. This allows for feeding the
unprocessed guitar signal at a later time to an amp again to experiments
with various settings that might cater for a better mix without the
need to play the guitar a second time. Usually some special equipment is
required to convert the high impedance guitar signal into an
appropriate signal at studio level for recording. The opposite
"reamping" path from the recording to the tube amp needs appropriate
processing as well. In case of the Profiler this is much more
straightforward and easy as the connections and impedances of the
Profiler already deliver all the required connectivity for reamping
right out of the box. Both recording the pure instrument signal and
reamping can be performed either via the analog outputs and inputs or
the SPDIF connections.
