Workaround:
Pedal 1 set to Volume (Pre) controlling the Input gain
Pedal 2 set to morph the Rig volume (Total output volume)
Which stereo volume pedal after XLR Main Outs?

Thanks so far.
I didn't find any volume pedal with xlr until now.
As written before, t he best solution would be:
Kemper company makes it possible, to configure 2 expression pedals as 2 different volume pedals in the Kemper.
Unfortunately for your situation, given that three or four options already exist, the chances of that happening are pretty much zero.
The closest option would be a quality stereo pedal using standard quarter inch cables. You’ll never hear the difference. Not with a guitar signal.
Why are you so concerned about having XLR? -

Why are you so concerned about having XLR?Where ever I played since I play Kemper (2015), the men on the desks offered XLR to connect.
Never got quarter inch cables.

Therefor I have to set morph of the gain in every single used rig.
About 100 performances (2 bands) with its rigs.
That's not a workaround, that's a lot of work!
And what happends with parameters I already morph? Will they also change if I use the pedal?

That has as much to do with the standard connectors audio desks use than anything else. There's a reason Kemper included both XLR and 1/4" TS main outs.
The only viable, no compromise option I can see to get you exactly what you want is a stereo pedal into a stereo direct box, out to FOH. An XLR equipped volume pedal just doesn't exist.
Obviously, do what is right for you. Your music, your gear.
But the amount of extra cabling you'll need is nuts. 2 longer runs from the Profiler to the pedal in front of you, 2 from the pedal to the direct box and then 2 more from the direct box to FOH. That's not only complex, but introduces a bunch of new places for stuff to go wrong.
If you're concerned about sonic changes with placing a pedal after the guitar but before the input, I think you should look at one of the Lehle pedals. It isn't just a volume pot stuck in the middle like an Ernie Ball. There's a reason those things are $300+.

Thanks. But that's not XLR.
Just get 4 XLR-TS adapter cables.

The first setting is global, just set the volume pedal to Pre-
Morphing will indeed affects all parameters

There are converters either way so shouldn't be a big issue although more failure points..
Im still not sure why you need it i.e. what you are trying to do, but I may have missed that.
TBH I've never understood why people need hundreds of performances as it causes lots of issues, balancing rigs and anything you want to apply globally - I'm in 3 bands and use 4 performances but hey that's personal choice.
Not sure if you can use "lock" here as a global setting??
As mentioned earlier, its unlikely you will get a software change as to me its a pretty unique requirement.
Hope you find a solution.

Another possibility is to use the 1/4" Outs with a 2 channel DI box. I have an 8 channel DI in my studio rack and it's very handy for my keyboards and looper pedals that don't have XLR outs. I have another 2 channel in the closet for playing out (I'm way too old for that anymore).
Something like this will work...
-
Use the Monitor Output on your Profiler, set to Monitor Stereo on a Head or Rack. Use an expression pedal to control the Monitor Output volume. Connect the TS Outputs to DI boxes.

This may work. Setup for my Toaster is clear, but how to setup my Stage for live use?
Unfortunaltely if I do so, I cannot use the monitor out anymore, which usually goes directly into my in-ear.

Use the Headphone out to feed the In Ear

That's nice!

I wonder if some stereo unit with midi control of volume exists?

Although this has been discontinued - a MIDI capable expression pedal could do what he wants and have zero impact on the signal chain.
