Has anybody succesfully paired the Stage with an H9? I have it working through the send / return, but I can't figure out how to have the Kemper Stage tell the H9 which program to activate via MIDI.
Kemper Stage with Eventide H9

afraid I haven’t tried as I am enjoying the simplicity of a completely self contained solution with no need for external devices. However, it should work no problem at all. Have you read the Midi section in the manual?
QuoteTransmitting MIDI Commands to Two External Devices in Performance Mode
MIDI commands can be triggered and transmitted to external devices (maximum 2), whenever a Slot gets loaded in Performance Mode. You can, for instance, use this to switch presets, or to control parameters, of effects devices by other manufacturers that are connected to the effect loop of the PROFILER.
In System Settings, navigate to “Performance Mode: MIDI” page. Please note that this page is only accessible in Performance Mode.
MIDI 347
• Use the soft knobs to assign a MIDI channel to each of the external devices.
• Use soft buttons to determine whether the corresponding external devices are connected to MIDI OUT or MIDI
THRU. The MIDI THRU is not available at PROFILER Stage.
• For your convenience, you can also assign meaningful names to the two external devices using soft buttons.
• Press “Edit”, “Slot Settings” > “MIDI Settings”, then select the MIDI program change numbers associated with the
currently loaded Slot. Repeat this step for every Slot you intend to send MIDI program changes from.
✓As soon as you select MIDI THRU to transmit MIDI commands by Slot the PROFILER will stop forwarding incoming MIDI data to the MIDI THRU.

Use the H9 app. You can assign whatever preset you want to any midi command from the source device. I used to run two H&K Grandmeisters in stereo with an H9 and it was all linked together to the same foot controller. What you won't be able to do is control the KPA and the H9 independently with the same controller (well, not simply anyway. And not with the kemper controller). However if you want preset "X" to load on the H9 to go with preset "Y" on the kemper, that's pretty easy.

Thanks for the replies. I have done all of the steps described with this exception:
• Press “Edit”, “Slot Settings” > “MIDI Settings”, then select the MIDI program change numbers associated with the
currently loaded Slot. Repeat this step for every Slot you intend to send MIDI program changes from.
I'm not sure where this menu appears in the Kemper Stage, but I have not figured out how to have the Kemper tell the H9 to turn on a particular program. I've only managed to get the tempo synced between the two. I believe the step above is what I'm missing.
