Thanks for the answer, I am very grateful to you, but this is not enough for me to understand how to get Ableton to communicate with my Kempere.
Thank you and good evening

Hi Robrecht I kindly ask you for help !
I would like to understand how you set your Ableton to make sure that you communicate the midi changes to our legendary Kemper .... Perhaps I have to set the Kemper's menu setting so that it communicates appropriately with the Kemper? I thank you right away if you want to give me help!

Display MoreI've created a setup to automate rig and effects changes in my Kemper via midi, sent from Ableton Live.
It's possible to automate CCs in Ableton Live directly, but not very practical: you have to go dig for them inside a MIDI clip and manually switch between the different CCs you want to edit, so it's very hard to get an overview of all the automation going on in a song.
That's why I've created a dedicated Kemper controller in Max For Live that more or less mimics my old FCB1010's layout and functionality (but with a "Kemperish" look). If anyone's interested, you can download the latest version here.
Just drag it into a midi track (that points to the correct midi output and channel, of course)!

As you can see, there are toggles for stomps and effects, buttons for the five slots within a performance, up and down buttons to go to the next or previous performance, 26 numbered buttons for direct access to specific performances, dials for delay and reverb parameters just like those dedicated knobs on the Kemper, and sliders to mimic the expression and volume pedals.
The best thing is that all of these buttons, toggles and dials represent named parameters that can be automated in the channel's arrangement lane directly. In turn, they operate the relevant CCs (so you never need to worry about CCs anymore).

When I started this, I'd never worked with Max For Live before so it took me some time to figure everything out, but it's definitely a very powerful tool.
Update (March 2017): After not using this device for a long time (because my band stopped using Ableton Live for playing, um, live), a question on the Kemper Users Facebook group reminded me of it. I've now updated it by adding a morph slider! I've edited this post and replaced the screenshots by more recent ones.
Hello, please someone can help me?!
how can I to set Ableton to send slot changes to my Perform kemper ??? I would like to leave the kemper in PERFORM Mode and change slot simply with a midi track made on Ableton.
thank you!
