MIDI Implementation Error?

  • I‘m using the Kemper in a coverband. I‘d like to switch our lightsystem with the Kemper. It is possible to do this, because I take a new rig for every new song. The switching of the lightsystem is done by midi-programchanges, which are part of the settings of every slot.
    Normally this works.

    But partially the Kemper does not send the programchanges as I can see on a midi-watcher. The midi-clock-signal of the same slot is transferred - so there is a midi-signal, but not the programchange. The problem happens for all slots of the specific rig.
    As I switch to another rig, there is no problem, everything works as programmed. Coming back to that specific rig shows the problem again.


    I have already tested switching the midi-definition off in the slot and then again on. This did not help.


    Does anyone have any suggestions to solve?


    Thx in advance.

  • After multiple testing I discovered a workaround:

    1. Save the rig.

    2. Edit the midi setting of the non-transmitting Slot by dialing „MIDI Message“ up.

    3. Push Exit

    4. Change to another slot and do Step 2 and 3.

    5. Push Exit

    6. Return to the former slot and change to the former setting

    7. Save the rig.


    It has been working for several times, but that can’t be the intended design.


    What am I doing wrong?
