Kemper Profiler Player USB MIDI OUT

  • Hello Gents,

    My Guitar player and I recently acquired the Small Kemper Profile Player. We are trying to make it work like the Rack Kemper we use on tour. On tour we have all rig changes done via MIDI through Logic since we are using backing tracks. Is this device capable of doing this since it only has USB MIDI? Or is this a feature not included? Would be convenient for Fly in dates.

    If so how do we go about doing this? Any info will help.

  • Connect USB cable to your computer and Player. Your computer should recognize new MIDI device. You can confirm this by opening Audio MIDI Setup (CMD+Space -> type Audio MIDI to find it). Go to Window -> Show MIDI Studio and locate Player. Once you make sure device is detected by MacOS and is active, go to Logic and on MIDI track (most likely of type External MIDI) which you used to control KPA Rack, change MIDI Out Port to Player (even better create separate track for Player, so we can use both Player and Rack from the same project). Choose MIDI Out Channel - use different number for Player and Rack - to avoid accidental rig changes.

    That should do it although you'll have to of course adjust / create new MIDI PC and CC messages for Player.
