Full disclaimer, I know NOTHING about MIDI. The only time I’ve ever used it is when I had to program my Mini Amp Gizmo to control the changes on my G-System. And that didn’t require any MIDI knowledge.
What I’m wondering is, is there a way to have the Kemper automatically change performances (and also switch to a specific slot in that performance) whenever I select/touch a song in my set list app? I’m currently using an app on my iPad called “Set List Maker” and it states that it is MIDI compatible. So what I’d like to be able to do is, whenever I tap a specific song in our set list in Set List Maker, have it automatically switch to whatever Performance and Slot on the Kemper that I need for that song. I’d also be willing to switch to another set list app if that makes all of this possible.
Is there an easy way to do this? Or am I better off just scrolling through all my performances by foot? I know that I could set up the performances in order of our set list each night, but that wouldn’t work for me for two reasons. First, because it’d just take way too long to do on the Kemper (and I’m not going to haul around a laptop and deal with Rig Manager’s glitches before every gig). Secondly, there are many times throughout the night that I use the same performance and slots for multiple songs. So I don’t want to duplicate the same performance over and over again. That seems
redundant.
So if there was a way that I could assign on the iPad in Set List Maker, whenever I play “x” song, I touch that song in the list of Set List Maker and it automatically loads slot #3 of performance #2, and then any time I play “y” song, I touch that song in Set List Maker and it loads the correct patch for that.
This would also give me the ability to switch performances/slots via foot if I wanted as well. Having this kind of a setup would be a HUGE help for me. So if anyone out there knows if there is a way to do this (even if it means getting a different iPad app that can hold set lists) I’d be very thankful!
