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)
* Check out thie [https://greendog.co.uk/kemper/nrpn-calculator.php NRPN Calculator]

The XSONIC Airstep finds the M-VAVE 5-Pin MIDI connectors automatically (right side of the photo) and these work with the Kemper Stage and Kemper Profilers (Head and Rack versions)


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.

CC# 75-78 to map to Effects buttons 1-4, and the last button set to Tuner on/off.
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.
