The Player offers the Tranpose in its Rig Settings.
This can be controlled via Sysex: controller MSB 4, controller LSB 4, value range 28-100.
The format of the Sysex comands is explained in the dedicated KEMPER PROFILER MIDI Parameter Documentation .
Hey Burkhard, thanks so much for this tip here. I was just able to get my Morningstar MC8 to control rig transpose values on the Player, which helps me cut down on a few redundant transposed rigs I have loaded on it. 
I definitely agree that this function needs to be looked at. I think it's more important to protect reference pitch from changing mid-show than the ability to make quick reference pitch changes.
I don't intend to hijack your thread, but rather, support it, with what I believe is a related issue I experienced at a show (Rack & Remote) and reported to Support in mid-2022:
If the tuner's Reference Pitch knob gets moved (accidentally and without the user's knowledge) and then the Remote is used to deactivate/activate the tuner, then the "OK" soft button intended to confirm any Reference Pitch changes is bypassed and the new reference pitch automatically goes into effect.
For such an important function like this, I believe any new Reference Pitch confirmation needs to be rock-solid. The "OK" soft button to lock in a new Reference Pitch value IS a good plan, and I think that makes a lot of sense- but only if that step is unable to be bypassed.
I’m not using an Airstep controller it is a Luminite Graviton M1, it has USB A and C ports, the C port is designed to be midi port but that could be different on others.
I have USB A port on the Kemper Player to USB C port in controller.
The controller has the option set for'Device to Computer' selected in the M1 USB Midi settings selected.I don’t know if that is unique to the Luminite M 1 or other devices offer that kind of functionality also.
Is the M1 working well for you for selecting rigs, bank up/down, etc.? I believe I read a post from you about that controller previously and it looks exactly like what I'd want to try with the Player.
get a midi footswitch and jump through rigs. no need for morph, unless you do a slow or controlled morph. which can also be don with exp pedals sending cc#. say a, tech 21 midi mongoose or a morningstar.
My understanding is that the morph function isn't available via MIDI on the Player, but I hope I'm wrong about that!
Ah damn…no transpose. That’s kind of a dealbreaker….and I already ordered it 🫣
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but transpose is accessible via the Rig menu on the Player.
So feature differences from the Head/Stage;
- No Stereo out XLRs- No Looper
- Only One Volume/Morph Pedal- No FX loop
- No screen (will be interested to try out the tuner without a screen)
- Support for only two FX pre / two FX post
- Only 10 banks with 5 slots per bank- No dedicated performance up/down
- No browse/perform. Just set it up and go
- No Profiling
- Very high power requirements
+ Bluetooth and Wifi Audio
+ It looks like a forced FX spillover (hardware enforced?)
I'm still pumped, and one is headed my way. I can't wait to see if I can add it to my workflow. I'm primarily concerned about the limited FX slots. I tend to run compressor, eq, and multiple stages of overdrive in front. Then Delays / Reverb in the back. Maybe 2024 will be the year of simplifying my sound, though. If I can figure it out, It will be much easier to take around with me.
I'm glad to see the small form factor, and I know it'll sound great, but so far, I'm mainly trying to wrap my head around the differences between the Rack and this since I'd plan on using this as a backup/fly rig. This list looks like a good starting point. Another few differences:
- No Morph
- No Parallel Path or DLY+REV Routing
- No Natural Reverb (replaced by Easy Reverb)
And more on data compatibility from the Player manual (page 137):
It is possible to import and load Rigs created on other PROFILER models. This includes the use of more than 1500 factory Rigs available in Rig packs, as well as close to 20000 user Rigs in Rig Exchange.
The Stack, with its Amplifier and Cabinet modules, is fully compatible, and all types of PROFILEs can be used. The effects in modules A, B, DLY and REV are migrated, if the effect types are available in the Player. Otherwise, modules are set to “Empty”. Exception: Natural Reverb gets replaced by Easy Reverb.
Any Effect Button I-IIII assignments of Stage and Remote, contained in the Rig, are migrated accordingly. The Player has no dedicated Effect Buttons, but treats these as virtual nodes that can be assigned to any of its foot switches, or triggered via MIDI.
Features not available in the Player are ignored. This includes Parallel Path and DLY+REV Routing. In the Player, all modules of the signal chain are placed in series.
Input presets can be imported, including the settings for Input Noise Gate and Clean Sens.
Output presets include the sources (Main Output, Monitor Output, USB), output links (Main Output, Monitor Output, Headphones Output), Monitor Cab. Off, and output filters, as well as all settings related to KEMPER Kone. Since the Player’s set of inputs and outputs as well as its signal chain differs from other PROFILER models, it’s worth creating dedicated output presets for the Player.
Stack, amplifier, and cabinet presets are fully compatible. You can also import cabinet impulse responses via Rig Manager.
Effect presets are also fully compatible, if the effect type is available in the Player.
There are no limitations when transferring Rigs from a Player to any other PROFILER model. You can also upload these into Rig Exchange. Effect presets, amplifier, cabinet, and stack presets stored on a Player are fully compatible with any other PROFILER model. Input and output presets created on a Player are lacking a few parameters, e.g. Distortion Sens. If you import such a preset into another PROFILER model, these missing parameters will be set to their defaults.
A device like this is my #1 request from Kemper. For me, it would serve as a backup for my rack rig and as my primary rig for fly dates when I’m carrying minimal gear.
Some folks dismiss this idea, saying it would be too expensive to manufacture in Germany to have a Tonex-level MSRP, but I don’t think it should be that inexpensive; perhaps just a little cheaper than the Stage as an alternative form factor. Currently, I have to go outside of the Kemper ecosystem to get that, and I’d much rather stay consistent with my tones and programming.
One issue I see with this one is that the Performance mode is heavily built on 5 rigs per bank, so I think they’d have to squeeze that fifth switch on there somewhere to stay compatible with their existing products.
Hey there,
Earlier this summer, I ran into an issue with my Rack & Remote at a show. I already submitted a support ticket regarding this, but I wanted to post publicly about it as well as a heads up to other users to be on the lookout for this.
If the tuner's Reference Pitch knob gets moved (accidentally and without the user's knowledge) and then the Remote is used to deactivate/activate the tuner, then the "OK" soft button intended to confirm any Reference Pitch changes is bypassed and the new reference pitch automatically goes into effect.
This video that I uploaded to Dropbox displays what I'm talking about: https://www.dropbox.com/s/78ijyyrd55m1…ooting.mov?dl=0
For such an important function like this, I believe any new Reference Pitch confirmation needs to be rock-solid. The "OK" soft button to lock in a new Reference Pitch value IS a good plan, and I think that makes a lot of sense- but only if that step is unable to be bypassed.
One thought about this and the popular "Kemper Mini" idea that users float around (which I would love to have as a backup rig and as a backpack rig for fly dates, similar to the FM3/HX Stomp): the new Kemper iOS editor app seems like a potential step in that direction to me.
Sure, you could edit parameters using Rig Manager on an iPad with a Kemper Mini/Kemper Rig Player that doesn't have all the physical editing controls available on-board, but an iPad is still an "additional gig item" to some folks, while ALL players (that use iPhones, at least) would always have their iPhones with them at a show.
I realize I may be reading too far into this, but that seems like it would be a really great usage of the iPhone editor app.
A “mini” offering is the only thing I’m missing from the Kemper hardware lineup. I would love to have one I that I can leave in a backpack as a backup to my rack & remote rig instead of my Atomic AA6. (Thankfully, I’ve never had to use my backup because of an issue with my A rig- that’s with many shows since 2013.)
However, I’d really love to have it for one-off fly dates and certain throw-and-go festival gigs. The Stage is impressive, but is way larger than what I’m personally looking for in this context.
From a sales perspective, a “mini” is a great way to get the existing customer base to purchase additional hardware.
Hi, I'm posting this on behalf of another user who's not on these forums. I've been giving him Kemper tips as he's been diving into his relatively-new Stage.
I told him about how much I like using Kemper's transpose and that I typically put it in stomp A, but he told me that when he compared stomp A versus the Rig section's transpose setting, that he had two different results.
He says: "205 is with a stomp and you can hear a kind of tremolo effect. 207 is with the rig transpose."

I certainly hear two different results here; any thoughts as to what the culprit could be? Thanks in advance for any tips in the right direction.
This same issue happens to me occasionally on my Profiler Rack but I think this is the first time I’ve seen a mention of it here. I've mostly noticed it when I’ve left my Kemper in performance mode with the tuner/mute engaged for a long period of time and then come back to it (for example, leaving it muted after soundcheck until showtime). It’s happened a few other random times during shows too, but never in the middle of playing, and thankfully, my fix is as simple as turning the chicken head knob from performance mode to tuner mode, then immediately back to performance mode. Hopefully, that takes care of it for you, too.
Just some background for reference:
-When this happens, the input LED acts normally, but the output LED is completely off.
-This affects both the main output (FOH) and the headphone output (my IEMs).
-I’m on the latest OS; this has happened as far back as I can remember, though, so it’s nothing new that’s been introduced recently.
-I have a Remote and Mission EP1-KP connected. Those seem to behave normally when this issue occurs.
I’ve been using the IK Multimedia iRig BlueTurn with my iPad Pro for the past year- it works really well for me and is easy to see on stage.
Cool, thanks for your response. I was hoping to use the FX loop to avoid running power and cables up to my pedalboard (just a Remote and expression pedal), but I'll try to figure out a good plan.
Hi, I currently use the stereo aux in to route my monitor mix through my Kemper (then run out the headphone jack to my IEM transmitter). This means I only use one channel on the FOH board while keeping guitar in stereo in my ears.
Is there any way that I can keep this setup AND add a mono effect loop for a Digitech Freqout I have on the way? For example, using the XLR return jack? I've never used the Kemper effects loop; my apologies if this has been covered previously.
Thanks for your time. 
Skoczy described the current process perfectly.
I created a thread in the Feature Requests forum a few years ago and am still hoping for changes in how snapshots are handled
Ability to replace/store as/rename snapshots and section presets (Input/Output settings)
Agreed! I send the Kemper main out XLR to our board, run my monitor send from our board into the Kemper aux in, and run from Kemper headphone out into my wireless in-ear unit. This way, I get guitar in stereo in my ears while receiving a mono monitor mix from our board (so I'm only taking up 1 aux send from our board).
I'd like to be able to run an active speaker on stage for guitar stage volume, but with this routing, the aux input (my monitor mix) is audible through both my in-ears AND the active speaker on stage (I only want guitar in this speaker).
This feature would be great!
It's been over a year, so I just wanted to give this another bump in case any new users want to chime in about this idea.
I still think the Snapshots feature would be even better if we had the ability to save/name each one to correspond with the song/recording session each was used for! In the meantime, I have to type in any tweaks into my Pro Tools track notes.
