I started down this path to get my Airstep and Airstep Lite to control my Kemper Profile Player with the Level III update.
I have tested everything documented here, and it all works with
* Kemper Player Profiler (Level III)
* Kemper Stage (original version)
* Kemper Power Rack (original version)
* Kemper Profiler (original version)

I've read that the [https://www.amazon.com/CME-WIDI-Bud-Pro-performance/dp/B09GS3J3J5/ref=sxbs_pa_sp_search_thematic_btf_sspa WIDI Bud Pro] works but I have not tried it.

These are the settings on the Airstep to make it mimic the behaviour of the Kemper rig buttons one through five
These settings will emulate the behaviour of the Kemper Remote or Kemper Stage.

I did this instead of using CC# 17-22, which map to Modules A-D, because sometimes I use the Kemper Profile Player without the Airstep, and I wanted to use the Kemper Player mapping instead of the Profiler mappings. If I change the Effects buttons 1-4 on the Player, I wanted the Airstep to match.

This shows all the values in a concise table. However, it will be easier to configure the settings in the Airstep app by following the detail in the next section.
