Problem Perform Function

    Just installed version 2.0.0, the "perform function" has been activated, is fantastic but has a problem, in every performance there are 5 slots and within each stlot you can enter a rig as desired, and until everything is right, the problem create if you do not have available a foot controller with 5 pedals in a row (as in my case Boss GT-10) that has 4, the slots are assigned to the signals midi program change, then the slot 1 corresponds to the program change 1, the slot 2 corresponds to the slot program change 2, etc. Unfortunately, from what i've seen on both the manual 2.0 and on the same kemper there is no way to assign at will the program change to the slot you want, there is no possibility of switch off the slot 5. So, at present for me unfortunately useless perform function.:(

    I don't want to sound harsh, however you can't say there is a problem with perform mode because of a limitation within your foot pedal which isn't really a dedicated midi controller it's an effects unit which has midi output.


    I'm sure there are more important things for the kemper team to work on rather than bending over backwards to accommodate the kemper to your pedal.


    Hope that doent come off as rude, I just feel that you have to expect to live with a certain amount limitations of your boss pedal or purchase a dedicated midi pedal or wait it out for the kemper fc.

    I don't know if the GT-10 has it but, I have the Boss GT-100 and it has a "Program Change Map" where you can map which PC changes go to which. This is what I plan to do to get around the 4 switches.


    To give myself a fifth "switch" I plan to program the PH.Loop Pedal to the CC# for the fifth slot on Perform Mode, which will give me the same lineup as 5 switches.


    I haven't tried it yet but, it should work in theory. :P


    I plan to work on it tonight if I can. If the GT-10 has the same functionality then you would be golden but, I'm not familiar with the MIDI capabilities of that unit.

    one of the functions of this forum, is to highlight the team's Kpa problems that are encountered using the Kpa, then of course they and only they will decide what problems to solve and which are not.
    What are problems and which are not.
    this is a forum and everyone is free to express their opinion


    Beyond my case I believe that can decide which midi channel assigned to each slot, and be able to exclude a slot, make the kpa a machine more flexible

    Yep, as far as I know, the GT-10 also has the "program change map" function. Guess I'll be tryin' that out as well
    Still Myramyd, would be nice to know if it worked out for you or not ;)


    Cheers

    It is also the GT-10 has the "Program Change Map" in the
    case of the GT-10 the pedal to program would be the
    "CTL1" which is just after the "4".


    What I am able to understand is that the "CC#54" is what
    allows within the KPA to select the "Slot 5."


    The problem is that the mapping of the pedal "CTL1" in
    the GT-10, and the pedal "Phrase Loop" in the GT-100,
    ranging from "CC#1 >> CC#31 and CC#64 >> CC#95. So for us it is not possible assign the "CC#54."


    this is what I came to understand

    Sorry, you are correct about the CC# on the Boss stuff. Also, the assignable switches won't "latch" with the KPA so, if you want to enable a stomp for example, you would have to hold down the switch. Even though it's well documented on this forum, I had forgotten that. ;(


    Also, the Program Change Map doesn't work on my GT-100 for some reason. I messed around with it and no matter what I did it wouldn't use the map instead of the default.


    Between those two, I'm not sure the Boss stuff will ever be ideal for using Perform Mode. I will most likely go the Behringer FCB with KemperUno route in the near future.


    Slightly disappointed but, I guess the setup and convenience will make up for it.

    Hi all! First time poster here.


    Im feeling this pain aswell. Its frustrating becuase it is soooo close to work out really well. I have the boss gt-10 as a back-up unit in case the kpa would break during a tour/show. Now, if it would serve as a functional midi-controller aswell it would really be perfect! I love performance mode and its easy editing, but its the old "close but no cigar"-scenario when you cannot reach that fifth slot in performance mode.


    It would however be fully operational if the kpa would let the user set the cc# for reaching that fifth slot. The caveat is that the current fixed cc#54 for reaching that fifth slot is not possible to send from the gt-series, i dont know why? As mentioned, the CTL1 & CTL2 have a gap in their assignable cc# between cc#32 and cc#63. BUT, making the fifth slot cc# configurable on the kpa would make a lot of the current boss gt-series work great in performance mode, and my guess is that there are quite a few of those users out there?


    Take care // Anders
