Do you have any other MIDI device as a reference to test with, other than that Ampero product? I try to avoid, that the Kemper staff is busy chasing a 3rd party issue.
The Rig Up/Down function does exist for external switches.
Functions like Slot 4 and Slot 5 would be very limiting. You can just toggle between two Slots. But these exist for internal switches. Perhaps you can use those for that purpose and leave the external to switch effects.

I unfortunatally dont have any other Midi Device but I heard that the Amero Control should work with the older Kemper units. I will see if I can find one to borrow for testing.
The external Switch options available for the Kemper Player does not fulfill my needs unfortunately.
I need a small Midi controller in the same format with 2-4 buttons like the Ampero Control. Can you advice me to buy one similar controller that works with my Player?
I know about Morningstar MC6 Pro but it has wrong format size for me.

Might try the Tech21 Midi Mongoose with a MIDI-USB-A cable. The Mongoose it one of the slimmest footswitches around, that's why I got it, but looks like it doesn't work with my MIDI cable, as I stated in the initial post. Need to try another adapter cable.

Head, Rack, and Stage models don't support USB host yet. So connecting your Ampero via USB cable to their USB A sockets won't work.
Connecting it via classical 5-pin MIDI cables will work. That has been functional all the time.
And I understood, that your Ampero also worked when you connected its 5-pin sockets via a USB-MIDI adapter to the USB-A socket of the Player, correct?
So I don't think, that gets us any further.

I dont have a Midi to USB adapter so I do not know if that would work.
Yes! I give up...
Our engineering has acquired an Ampero Control and researched it with a USB analyzer. According to their findings that 3rd party product - at least our unit - produces lots of electrical failures on the USB bus and therefor the Player doesn't work with it.
The Player is in line with standards and works with devices that do the same as a USB host (USB A) as well as a USB client (USB B).
It should be possible to use the Ampero with an external power supply and feed MIDI from its MIDI OUT through a MIDI USB interface.

Could you do the same for Airstep?
We cannot certify all foot controllers out there. And then you still don't know, if a 3rd product acquired this year uses the same firmware and chip set as last year. I guess, that's what we have standards for. But perhaps somebody here in this forum owns an Airstep and can check it out:-)
Well guys, the Morningstar MC8 arrived yesterday and it works flawlessly, well worth its value. Currently experimenting with PC# and creating my setup.
Wonder if the future firmware update will feature a Cab Off option for the main out, that would be truly neat, at least from my standpoint. That is being able to send a CabOff signal to the amp on stage and Monitor Out L-R CabOn to the FOH.
Congratulations crivat, for your finally working MIDI setup. And yes, I also would very much appreciate the Cab Off option for the main out. Although I must say, I often hook up my Power Toaster with the speaker of my small tweed and I leave the cab function always on, sounds better to me than without, strange but true.

BAck in the day I also had Cabsim On rigs that sounded very good though one of my 412 cabs; even if this idea is regarded as weird, to say the least, in the end it's all about the sound and not about the method. That's one valuable lesson I learned from Dan Swano, with whom I did three albums. If it sounds good - it's good. Now, being able to replicate a certain solution that sounds good is an altogether different discussion. ckemper , please bring Cabsim Off to Main Out and maybe different Cabsim On/Off options for L & R on Monitor Out 
Up to now you cannot specify the receiving MIDI channel of the Player. But this should never cause the Player not to excute MIDI comands. It only causes, that it is executing comands on all 16 MIDI channels ("Omni"). This feature is planned for the next Player OS revision.
I have the player and mc8 and I'm new to midi, can someone help me set this up to select presets please?

I just set up my mc6 pro. The only way i could get it to work was to plug it into the usb b on kemper. Then its just program change in morningstar.
I got my Airstep Multi Controller working with my Player with the USB C on the Airstep going into USB B on the Player. I've tried the KPA preset in the Airstep app and changing rig works fine but I seem to have an issue with going up and down banks with long presses of the first two footswitches - it just keeps cycling through the banks continuously. Possibly a programming issue and I need to spend some more time with it. I programmed my own presets with functions to toggle effects on or off which works well
Haven't tried an expression pedal through the Airstep yet
edit: I got the Bank up/down working in the KPA preset - had to change the long press CC value to 0 instead of 1. Works nicely

USB-C (Device) from the MC6 Pro to the USB-A of the player works perfectly.
