MIDI CC changes

    Please excuse my naivete. I am VERY new to this midi stuff.


    I have the following, basic Randall RF8 Midi controller:

    Based on what I am reading, it allows fixed CC commands from 80 through 87.


    I am mainly interested in the Performance mode changes, i.e. CC 48 through 54.


    It appears that my controller sends fixed CC commands, and that the CC commands I am looking for are fixed in the Kemper. Does this mean that I am out of luck? Is there a way to change the Kemper CC commands to correlate with somewhere between 80 and 87?


    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Are you trying to call up different rigs using these commands? If so you can set the PC number that's required to call up each rig.


    while you have a certain rig in focus, select the system button. There is a page that allows you to assign the PC number. I don't remember the page number off the top of my head.


    match this number to the fixed number being sent by your midi controller.

    Thank you for the reply. My footswitch has 8 buttons. I can set them each to a different PC number and be able to call up 8 rigs.


    I was hoping to use the CC commands for performance mode so that I could use 5 buttons to call up 5 different rigs per performance, and use 2 more buttons to advance forward or backward to different performances, where I could again call up 5 different rigs using the aforementioned 5 buttons. Not sure it is possible using my footswitch, though.

    No - the CC numbers in the Kemper are not programmable - they are fixed, like the CC numbers in your controller.


    Any "conventional" MIDI pedalboard that transmits MIDI program numbers 0-127 can be used to control all the rigs in Banks 1 through 25 using Performance Mode. This would even include extremely inexpensive used 1980s relics like the ART X-11, the original Ground Control pedal. the Rolls MFX, etc.

    Thank you.


    That is what I was afraid of!


    Looks like I'll have to invest in a different MIDI switch moving forward.


    Another quick question in the interval.


    OK. I can assign individual rigs to each pedal using PC numbers. I'm looking for easy access to as many rigs as possible. So let's say, in Browse Mode, I assign 6 buttons to 6 different rigs using PC numbers. Is it possible to assign a PC number to a 'forward' or 'backward' browse command? I could use my last 2 buttons for these commands. Then, I would have easy access to the 6 rigs as well as the rigs directly ahead and behind each of them.


    Thanks, again, everyone. Still trying to figure this stuff out..... while I sit on the waiting list for an Atomic CLR...!

    Switching back and forth with a MIDI PC is not possible

    With firmware 3.0.2 you can use CC48/CC49, please read the updated MIDI documentation. But PC is always absolute.


    It looks like my MIDI pedal has fixed CC commands from 80-87, so I don't think I can do this. Without the ability to assign them PC commands, I suppose it just won't work for me. Thank you for your input.
