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.
