Pod HD500 controlling Performance Mode

  • Hi All


    Just getting to grips with my new Kemper. I am trying to get the pod hd to control the Kemper via midi. It works fine in browse mode but I cant get it to work in Performance mode. Looks like the fact that there are only 4 buttons in each bank on the HD 500 is the problem. Has anyone managed to get it working, if so could you share tips or point me to a guide. Pretty much a Midi noob so basic instruction is what is required ;)

  • Performance mode demands consecutive midi program changes from 001 onwards.
    Due to the KPA's 5-slot architecture ist is indeed a bit difficult to access the 5th slot of a performance conveniently with an HD500.
    If I had to use an HD500 I would probably build performances with 4 active slots and skip every 5th PC.

  • Drat, I thought that might be the case. I had seen some other info implying it was not possible but was hoping I was missing something. Time for a rethink about the best way of doing it. (basically I want an easy way to switch between sets of rigs for different songs and then settings for each song. The plan was to put each song into a bank in performance mode and use the up/down switches on the pod to switch banks and then the 4 bank switches to pick the settings needed for the song.
