Kuassa's official site lists Amplifikation 360 v1.4.0 as its latest September 2 update and explicitly calls out NAM A2 in the release title. That is a meaningful compatibility step for a host built around modular guitar amps, cabinets and effects, because Architecture 2 is the newer Neural Amp Modeler format and has been spreading through both software and hardware rigs this year.
TONE3000, which developed A2 with NAM creator Steve Atkinson, describes the architecture as an open-source next generation of neural capture designed to improve accuracy while reducing processing demands. Kuassa users had previously reported problems loading A2 profiles into Amplifikation 360, so the new A2-focused update is notable for players who want to mix captured amps and pedals with Kuassa's own modules.
Why it matters
NAM A2 is becoming a cross-platform capture format. Support inside another established guitar-plugin ecosystem makes those captures easier to use without changing the rest of a player's software rig.
