Yes, it is meant to bridge the gap between master keyboard and PC. Not 
to bridge the gap between the nanoKONTROL and your master keyboard.

To connect your keyboard to your PC.

Master keyboard --> USB MIDI cable (eventually with an USB extension 
cable)  --> PC
MIDI controller (nanoKONTROL) --> (USB extension cable) --> PC

But what you probably want is a USB MIDI controller with MIDI in (like 
your BCR2000) that is portable. Afaik no such thing exists in the price 
range you have in mind. And using your BCR2000 is not an option?
