Hi,

I'm looking for something which I can use together with my 88keys
masterkeyb without knobs. It would be nice if it's small and light
enough to put on my keyboard itself. Something like the evolution uc-16,
but it would be nice if I could route my midi masterkeybd via the
controller to the computer (midi in / midi out / midi thru (?).

I like to control stuff like setBfree and some effects in Non-Mixer
probably.

Thanks in advance,

I got a Korg nanoKONTROL to control Native Instruments's B4II -- it's perfect as it has nine channels, each with a knob, fader and two buttons which is just right for controlling a Hammond's drawbars.

I mapped the buttons to various things like keyclick on and off, vibrato/chorus on/off etc and knobs to chorus/vibrato settings, keyclick level etc.

The Nanos sit nicely atop my M-Audio Keystation 88as they are slim and have little rubber feet so they don't slide around. They don't have in/out/through though, just midi out over USB.

Korg, in their "wisdom", made the nanoKONTROL2 only eight channels though. Perhaps that will be sufficient for you, or perhaps you might find a used one on eBay.

However, I recently came across a copy of the original nanoKONTROL called the Icon iControls:

Thomann stock other Icon products but don't seem to have that particular one.
