Updated to the new Beta version this morning which came out end of last week. I can now select a specific channel for he player to receive midi commands. Works perfectly. Well done!!

I am using the Boss ES-5. I purchased a $20 dollar USB to midi cable on amazon and sending over program changes (moving to any patch in the player) and controlling things like Delay Mix, Detune amount, etc can all be set up to work just fine.

I received this back from Kemper support this morning..."yes, that parameter is missing in the current PLayer OS, but is already prepared. Please watch out for the next Player OS, which will probably be version 10.9.6 and be published soon. The parameter is in System Settings in Rig Manager "MIDI In Channel".

Once this is in place, I think it will be much easier to do an evaluation. Currently with "omni" only, you can watch Rig Manager when you send a group of midi commands and see the player jump from patch to patch as it responds to every PC command. My current solution was to have my 3rd command contain the patch I need to land on.

Thanks everyone for the help. I caved and bought a 6 foot usb to midi adapter and it works really well. Was able to keep it wrapped up so not too bad under the pedalboard. The next thing we need from Kemper is potentially partnering with someone to make a smaller cable and more importantly, put in the functionality to select a specific MIDI channel for the player to receive on rather than Omni.

Well I ordered a few cables. Will see if it works. Programs coming out of the SDE3000 make me nervous. I love the sound of that unit but have struggled with ease of use from a patch creation standpoint. Thanks everyone for the help. I shall report back.

Thank you for the help. Would be awesome if this works.

Thank you for the quick reply. Can you tell me more about that? The Boss unit only has the 5 pin Midi connections on the back.

Really enjoying the Player. Have built a pedalboard with a Boss switcher. I am currently running a Midi cable from the Boss switcher to an Eventide H9. From the Eventide H9 another midi cable goes to my Boss SDE3000-EVH. I am looking for a cable that will run from the Midi out of the Boss unit to the USB of the Player so I can change the patches on all of those units simultaneously. Through extensive google searching, all I can find is 5 and 6 foot USB to midi cables that are completely impractical for a pedalboard as I would have to coil it up. In other words, it would take up a lot of space. I reached out to Kemper and they suggested I try the forum. Has anyone tackled this issue yet? Thanks in advance for the help.
