Hi, I'm using the lastest version of Cubase 11 (Win10, 64bit) and the latest Kemper OS (8.6.6.xxxxx) on my Kemper Head.
Cubase sends MIDI messages to my Kemper to change the sounds. For every song, I use a separate bank. So I can use 5 sounds for every song - what's enough for me.
Until now I changed the banks and programs on the Kemper with MIDI-programChanges which worked pretty well.
With the songs of our new album we have a total of 29 songs. This means I can not address all the sounds with programChanges due to the limitations of MIDI.
So I switched to ControlChanges (#47 for the bank and #50 - #54 for the program). But now I run into problems: Sometimes my Kemper hangs, sometimes the change does not happen and when I stop in Cubase, the Kemper changes to a false program.
Does anybody uses a similar setup and encounters similar problems? Any ideas are welcome to solve this!
Little remark:
Maybe it would be better if the Kemper changes the programs in a bank with just one ControlChange that varies the values (for example uses always ControlChange #50 and value 1 is program 1, value 2 is program 2 and so on). This would minimize the problems with MIDI chasing in DAWs - meaning to follow the song and automatically set the right sounds on any position in a song.
