Yep. That tells the Kemper "Use performance number <whatever>"
The others tell it what slot to use.
Good luck dude.
I was doing this kind of automation on my Atomic before I got the Kemper. It's a game changer for me. I'm too clumsy to tap-dance.

Thanks so much man! I really appreciate your help. If over the next few days of doing this I have more questions can I post here?
Yep. I'm around pretty often.
I noticed a few posts back that you mentioned the Kemper doesn’t always change immediately but instead needs you to manually load the preset. I suspect that you are changing bank in these cases and have the System Menu set so that the KPA holds the last Rig until triggered. Just change the setting in the System menu.
Ok thanks so much! I really appreciate that! Does anyone have a kemper midi map? Like what CC number correlates to what?

Ok last question. Is there any benefit of using a device like a midi sport? I'm going to be using 2 kempers on different global channels but if i understand that right I can just connect them through the thru option?
Also so I have to set the cc50 to 127 in order for the patch to switch properly? Does that make sense looks like this?
Yes- you should be able to connect the via a 'thru' option.
That said - I *don't* do this. In the rack I have an MTP AV that serves as a midi merger/distributor- so every automated device on our midi network gets it's own port. This way cable failures are isolated to their devices. (Ie,if the cable to the first Kemper fails the second will still switch). It's just piece of mind redundancy I picked up from my lighting days.
Ok perfect! Can you answer the question about 47 and 50 and the value of 127?
I think its ANY value.... I set it to 127 cos it is easier to see

This should get you into performance #2 patch #4
No, it would select whatever is in slot 1 of that performance. It's control, not program change.
Sorry, yeah, slot one, but performance #2
Actually, it would be slot #1 of the currently selected performance. That's why you send CC47 = <performance number> before that.
That's why you send CC47 = <performance number>
Thats not right. To get to performance number "n" you have to send "n-1" on Midi CC47. Which means, if you send a value of "1" like Tmustard89 did you will end up in performance #2
OMG, of course. Totally forgot that. Good Catch.
Display MoreHi! To turn stomps/effects on or off, you have to use Control Changes in your midi track.
CC#17--20 = stomps A--DCC#22 = X
CC#24 = Mod
CC#27 = Delay
CC#29 = Reverb
Setting the CC to zero turns the stomp/effect slot off, setting it to any other value (1--127) turns it on. I'm not familiar with Cakewalk Sonar, unfortunately, so I don't know how it works for CCs.
Now for your more specific question: keeping the transpose effect on for an entire song, while changing rigs. You could do different things.
* You could program your MIDI track to turn the transpose effect on every time you change rigs, but that seems risky (you would have to time it precisely so that the rig is changed before the effect is turned on, but it has to be quick enough so you don't hear it...).
* You could lock the slot where you put the transpose effect. That way it becomes "global", completely independent of rig changes, as if you had a separate transpose stomp box next to your Kemper. You can turn it on and off independently (using CCs or your pedalboard), and even if you change to another rig, it will stay the way you set it.
The disadvantage is that if you want to use that slot for other effects in other songs, you'd have to unlock it again during the set. Locking/unlocking is not something you can easily do via MIDI.
* You could make a copy of your Rig "Crunch" and your Rig "Clean" for that specific song, and store them with the transpose effect already ON. That way, the moment you switch to those rigs, you'll already be in the right key. The Kemper has room for hundreds of rigs so you could even make specific rigs for every song (especially since it will all be automated so you don't have to remember which foot switch to press!).
Oh and your advance question! Yes, switching to another rig via your pedalboard will kill the transpose effect (unless you switch to a rig that also has a transpose effect set to ON, of course). The only way to prevent this is by locking the transpose slot.
hey there,
I have a (Stupid) question: I programmed the channel change in cakewalk. I worked perfetct.
As a fallback I still want to use my Floorboard to change sounds. Therefore i bought a midi merger in front of the keper midi in. Also works great.
But the problem is: when I have a program change done by the midi track, lets say at 1.00 minutes to a clean sound. And the i press to another sound on my floorboard (lets say crunch sound) it directly switches back to the clean sound, as if the program change from the midi track permanently sends the change till the next „real“ change from the midi grack happens.
Any Idea how to solve this?

When you send the CC, are you sending it at one place, or several? Seems like it is continuously transmitting the CC number.
A good idea would be to use the Midi OX utility to verify this.
There should be a way to just send the CC once, rather than constantly, but I'm not familiar with Sonar.
Hey there,
Well in cakewalk i just send the even at a certain timestamp, e.g. 1.00min.
I am not familier with these midi tools. If this helps, here is an example of such a file:
