Doing some research for a suitable pedalboard for the Kemper, I was thinking of the Line6 Shortboard mkII since I like the size and the features.
But since it's only sending either its own protocol over the R45j cable or Midi messaged via the USB port, something has do some translation here.

Then I ran into the Kenton Midi USB Host, a small box that will translate midi messages to/from a Class Compliant USB device to standard Midi DIN.

Wouldn't this solve the issue?
(of course, if the KPA could listen to midi over the USB port the Kenton would not be necessary...
