So I'm building up a new midi cable for switching my kemper live. Just wondering do I need all 5 pins soldered up or just the middle 3?
3 or 5 pin midi cable?

The MIDI Standard uses just three pins. If all the gear you are using conforms to the Standard, three pins is enough. The Kemper uses three pin MIDI.
Some manufacturers use the other two pins for foot controller power, and there have been a couple of instances of using them to get MIDI OUT and THRU from a single panel connector.
