Most times you can spot the "self configuring" devices by their lot of buttons 
and the big display, which the nano series hasn't.

Careful! These are two different things:

 First is controlling which event on which midi channel a certain hardware 
knob/button/fader outputs.
 The second is how applications react to receiving midi events. Some apps have 
this configurable via gui, some only via config-file, some have this fixed at 
compilation time. But all react to midi in general, you don't need a keyboard 
with faders, you can also "play" these events from a sequencer...
