Hi Doctadro
I use B4 ll and a novation sl 37 thru midi, it's very easy to set up. You go in to B4 ll setup menu, in the controller assignment you can see the controller and its midi control number.
Then assign the controller on the hardware to the midi control number you wish.
There Are a bug in B4 ll on receptor, in the expert menu in B4 ll, you see a button in reverb named pre/post THIS BUTTON SHOULD ALLWAYS BE TO THE RIGHT (POST) .
If not receptor will lose audio and you have to reboot.
After I learn this trick B4 ll works great on receptor.

Jespero, maybe it's coincidence, ecause I always keep the reverb turned off and use one global one in Aux 1 instead, and perhaps the switch happens to be in the correct position, but I have never had that problem.
Doctadro, I use an Axiom 61 to control the upper manual and a Prokeys 88sx for the lower. No control on LM drawbars, dammit, but control over every parameter I have interest in from the upper. B4ii is quite flexible in its setup options, you should be able to make any keyboard work fine, providing it has enough parameters (but any keyboard with EIGHT sliders just misses the point - eiight is a great binary number for computers of the eighties, but in a 64-bit world, the cost advantage of those 8-bit chips is pretty miniscule...
