Does anybody on the forum have any experience using any of the Korg Nano devices with the Receptor? I am particularly interested in the NanoKontrol surface as a master controller for channel volume, effects, bypass etc. It would be great to have something that tiny for quick set-up, flexible control, and rig streamlining. I am currently using an Axiom Keyboard controller and Trigger Finger combo, but I find myself wishing for more faders and buttons. (I must have some serious control issues) At this point I run the Axiom as a USB device and power the Trigger Finger off of USB while using it's MIDI out (damn this 1 USB MIDI device limitation!, as well as a occasional FCB1010 usage (which is annoyingly large and difficult to pack). If the NanoKontrol drivers are compatible with the Receptor it would mean having to run the Axiom with a separate power source and outputting from its physical MIDI output. That may be adding more cable mess than it's worth for a few more faders. The bulk of my Receptor use is in situations where I am improvising for dance class accompaniment, which calls for some major flexibility.

I just bought the Korg Nano Controller. I haven't tried to do too much with it yet, but I can tell you that I was able to control B4II on Receptor with it. I set it up on my Mac and just plugged it into Receptor and it worked fine. I haven't tried to control any Receptor Mixer parameters - didn't really buy it for that. BTW plug it in to Receptor before turning Receptor on - it did not seem to work hot plugging.

The nanoKontrol actually works fine with generic USB MIDI Device drivers since in its default setup it only uses MIDI CC's. In theory, it should work fine...

Do anyone was able to use NanoKontrol transport to Start/Stop Reaktor 5 on Receptor. I am searching over the internet but still cannot find proper MMC parameters to do that. For example my Doepfer LMK4+ is working fine with Reaktor transport but cannot find information what kind of real message is Doepfer sending to Receptor.

I got answer from Doepfer support:
Doepfer does not send MMC but midi realtime message only.
I think it is for example: to start sequencer it sending the following message
Timing Clock - 11111000 ( 24 by quarter) plus Start - 11111010
