It looks like there is an Alternative input, can I just use an quarter jack adapter to go into AUX?

Hi, 4m4d3u5.
From the Kemper User Manual.
QuoteAuxiliary Input
The Auxiliary Input function allows you to feed a stereo signal, such as an mp3-player, into your PROFILER to play
along with it. In the Output Section, the Auxiliary Input function is equipped with three mix controls: one to feed the
aux signal to the MAIN OUTPUT as well as S/PDIF OUTPUT, and two others to feed it to the MONITOR OUTPUT
and HEADPHONE output. This allows you, for instance, to add an additional monitor signal to your HEADPHONE
output, while the MAIN OUTPUT stays unaffected.
This hint is for all PROFILER variants other than Stage: With the activation of “Monitor Stereo” MONITOR OUTPUT
and DIRECT OUTPUT get paired as one logical stereo monitor output. The Aux In signal will also appear on both
and its mix gets controlled via “Aux In >Monitor”. The auxiliary signal will not be affected by any internal effects.You will need to purchase a special cable which provides the stereo signal via two separate TS jacks. Plug the left
jack into the RETURN (RETURN 1 of PROFILER Stage) and the right jack into the ALTERNATIVE INPUT (RETURN
2 of PROFILER Stage). Use the "Aux In >…" soft knobs to adjust the level.
The PROFILER Stage allows you to use Aux In along with one mono or stereo effect loop.
For all other PROFILER variants, the Auxiliary Input cannot be used while you have an Effect Loop active in your
Rig, or while you are in PROFILER Mode, as the physical inputs are needed for a different purpose.
✓To prevent unwanted hum and noise, please remember to turn down the Auxiliary Input Mix when you are not using
it.
The Aux In function can also be used to feed in a band monitor mix from a mixing desk, mix it locally with your guitar
signal and, monitor the sum for example via in-ear monitors connected to the HEADPHONE output

I didn't realize there was a manual besides the one that came with it thanks. This is what I was looking for in the manual through:
RETURN and ALTERNATIVE INPUT (4)
The ALTERNATIVE INPUT can be used as a rear-side guitar input, which is especially convenient for the Rack, and
PowerRack models. The parameter “Input Source” needs to be set accordingly in the Input Section.
The RETURN is available as balanced TRS or XLR input. While it plays a key role during PROFILINGTM, as
explained in the chapter Taking a PROFILE, it can also be used in combination with the DIRECT OUTPUT/SEND to
loop in external equipment. In combination, RETURN and ALTERNATIVE INPUT can function as a pair of stereo
returns. Details can be found in the Effect Loops chapter.
Both the RETURN and the ALTERNATIVE INPUT can also be used as auxiliary inputs. You could, for instance, use
this feature to mix in music from your mp3-player and play along. In this case you will need a special cable with 3.5
mm stereo jack on one side and two ¼ inch mono jacks on the other side. You will find the corresponding mix
controls in the Output Section. -
Great. I'm glad you found what you needed.
Invest some time with the Kemper User Manual. It's searchable and so is the forum.

Problem with using aux input for mp3 player is as soon as you plug into the front input, the Kemper shuts off the aux input.
