Controlling the KPA with Boss GTx series foot controllers

I used my GT8 live once, the only thing it did was change rigs in performance mode, but a little confusing was the fact that the GT has 4 patches per bank while the Kpa has 5 per bank (performance).

So patch 5 bank 1 in the kemper was patch 1 bank 2 in the GT8

I guess you could use the wah pedal, but the stomp on and off, I don't think so. Even if possible you would have to chose changing patchs or stick to one patch and use the pedals to switch fx's on and off.

Cedico, also see my reply in your other thread

Cedico, using a Pod HD500 or a GT100 unit to control the Kemper is just wasteful expenditure: the only people doing it are the guys who already had one lying around.

If I needed a midi controller TODAY, I would just go for a Behringer FCB1010, which is much cheaper than a GT unit or a POD. It also has more control of the Kemper. You might have to spend another 13 pounds on the UNO for Kemper chip, but that's it, one of the best controllers out there and used by the majority of users out here, I think.

But if you have to stick with the GT5, it should be as simple as programming four slots per performance, then sending the appropriate programme change messages from the board to the Kemper in order to switch performances. I have a really simple midi controller and I am able to do it, so no fear.

Why not sell the Boss GT, get an FCB plus eprom and save some money?

You're welcome.
This solution has established itself as a de facto standard for the profiler (until the Kemper controller arrives of course ).

Hi,
I've forgot to ask you a question... after buying FCB1010, what about the 1 or 2 years guarantee... if I buy the EPROM to install it within the FCB ?

Cédric

AFAIK changing the eprom doesn't necessarily void the warranty, but I could be wrong about this.
And BTW it would be hard to tell if the unit was opened if you put the stock eprom back in a warranty case.

Yes, the labels have nothing to do with the eprom. It's just a bundle for the glow in the dark labels.

use one patch for your sound without wah, and a second with your "wah actived" and change the midi control of volume pedal in the gt

i use a gt3 as foot controler for a strymon timel (my kpa come next week but tested with a kpa). the midi control with the gtx is very basic. if you put wah on your volume pedal, it work for all the rigs (not wah for a rig and volume for another rig)

sorry for my english, i m french...

donc avec les gtx : tu sais changer de rig (+1), tu peux affecter le on/off d une commande midi (c#) aux switchs ctrl externes (celui du gtx nest pas top pour ca, parfois ca coupera, parfois non), et tu peux affecter la wah sur la pedale dexpression mais ce sera pour tous les rigs (donc pas un volume sur un rig et une wah sur l autre rig)
