Ok, I already replied to another thread off-list, but I guess it's time to  
write to the list again and that Rosea says what he exactly wants to get.
IIUC connecting a nanoKONTROL to the masterkeyboard is not what he wants.  
Also not connecting a nanoControl to the computer. I think I've got an  
idea of what he wants. First off all a more advanced device than the  
nanoKONTROL and second ... I'm uncertain what exactly is the reason for  
the MIDI in out thru question mark ... I've got several ideas what he  
might want it for, not only the thought about the cable, but why guessing,  
if we can ask?
