I like to use my Nord Electro for "standalone" gigs (piano, wurly, organ) but would like to use the Receptor for more advanced shows. Trouble is, the Electro doesn't allow much in the way of Midi (e.g. only transmits on one channel expression pedal is locked on CC 11) and from what I understand, the Receptor's mixer doesn't allow remapping of controllers or things like key ranges etc. Is there any kind of plug-in that acts like a midi controller for setting up "performances" so that I could control several instruments with one expression pedal. Also be cool to control the B4's drawbars with the Electro's drawbar buttons, but of course those CC numbers are locked as well. Thanks for any input.

I used B4 with Electro by using the midi learn function on b4 to assign all controllers needed. However, when in organ mode on electro, to use those controllers you lose pedal sustain functionality, i set the receptor not to receive bank messages and switched to a piano preset on eletro to regain sustain functionality when needed.
