Recently bought a Kemper. Loving it so far. Really suprised by the quality of effects.
I also developed a MIDI foor controller for many devices, called the VC-touch. It now fully supports the Kemper.
In 2018 I worked on the VController, an earlier version of this foot controller. The VC-touch is easier to build.
Hallo have been developing the code a lot further. But some things are not very logical.
1) If I pre-select a performance with cc#48 and 49 I can read the names of the new performance slots correctly. If I use cc#47 I cannot read the performance names.
2) If a slot is empty it will return the name of the first slot. Do You have to check if a slot is empty first. If so, how?
Another option may be to 3D print the enclosure. I know of one guy who did just that:

The enclosure is always the tricky part of these kind of projects. I have a good contact that can laser cut the enclosre. The trickiest bit for me is having it bent.

Full building plans are on github: https://github.com/sixeight7/VController_v3
Also there are some video blogs on the build: https://www.youtube.com/playli…FpLT2szDHuSqDDrjR1xBdHkT-
It is probably best to look for a local business that does sheet metal cutting and bending. Sometimes they are willing to help out an enthusiastic hobbyist
Thanks for responding. To answer your question: yes, the VController is fully programmable. It even has an external editor for PC and Mac. I have been working over three years on it now.
The idea is that the VController works with other devices with minimal programming. Yet, it should read patch/rig names and effect types and names. It already works with a number of devices. But the functionality is always at the mercy of the manufacturer, the number of parameters that are exposed and known through midi.
It is a diy project, only a few people have been courageous enough to build one.
Currently I am developing Kemper support for the VController, a DIY midi controller that already supports a number of devices. This is what the VController looks like:

I actually do not own the KPA myself, but I am trying to develop the software through a number of TeamViewer sessions with someone who does have both the VController and the Kemper.
I have already found a lot of information on sysex commands that can be sent to the KPA. I am familiar with the excellent work of bj devices (https://github.com/BurenkovS/b…vendors/kemper_amps/kpa.h)
But for the VController to work to its full potential, I need to read the rig- and performance names. I have found the information how to read the current rig and performance name, but the VController needs to read them ahead. So I would like to know if I can query the Kemper for the name of specific rigs or performances. That way I can fill the displays of the VController before a rig or performance is selected. Is this possible?
I am looking for a specific MIDI sysex command, that includes a rig or perforrnace number, that will return the name of that rig or performance.
