I'm trying to set up midi automation for rig switching, stomp toggling etc. Our band has a clicktrack and synths running along from a laptop so I'm trying to program the midi commands in Ableton Live.
My first impressions are that everything works as expected except for continuous controls like volume (cc#7). Looking at the page in the Kemper's system menu that shows the values of the volume, wah and pitch pedals as black bars, I can see the volume bar moving when dragging the automation line up and down "manually" (ie., using a mouse or trackpad). But when playing back a pre-programmed volume change -- say, volume at maximum, then steadily decreasing to zero -- the Kemper's volume doesn't follow until it's zero.

In the example above, the Kemper would do nothing until the third bar, where it would suddenly go silent and show the tuner. Am I doing something wrong? This is the first time I've tried to program an external device via midi so I might be. It works perfectly well with the volume pedal on my FCB1010 (with Uno4kemper).
Something else I've noticed is that the Kemper adjusts its tempo to the midi signal, but it doesn't remain steady. While testing, I had a track running at 74bpm in Ableton Live, and the Kemper's tempo fluctuated between 73.6 and 74.4. It's accurate enough for my purposes (timed delays, mainly) but I was just wondering what was going on.
