How's the nanokontrol powered this way, via the midi master keybd?
And the nanokontrol has micro usb right? Could you give a link to the 
cable that works? :)

Are the knobs of the nanokontrol 'rotary knobs'?

You can only assign the nanokontrol to the software, you can't restore 
certain settings presets with certain settings for midi values (e.g. a 
certain slider in setBfree)?
