Great advice…
I recall buying a mini kirg keyboard (nano ontrol maybe) and needinga pc in the middle toget it to work (since the keyboard was USB only)… The CME solution seems like a great idea and I wish it were around back then (sold the keyboard due to the need for ?a PC)… Seems like the CMEproduct does a ton more (and has presets too).
They make great products and their WIDI stuff is right up there (and compatible with some of) Yamaha’s midi-over-bluetooth offerings.
Nice that they are on Amazon as shipping used to be killer. ?Signup on their site to get an occasional discount or pre-order notification. ?
Not the cheapest, but solid quality, IMHO.

My understanding of the DoreMIDI host box is that you can use it to convert a USB controllers signal into 5-pin MIDI so you can use it with a MIDI device without needing a computer. I'm not sure if the DoreMIDI host box can be used with a computer to interface it with the computer for MIDI. I would doubt it, because it's purpose is to connect a USB MIDI device intended for use with a computer, and make it possible to use it with a 5-pin device without a computer.
You can buy something like the? to connect your computer to the QY100, then use a conventional USB hub to connect both your MIDI keyboard and the Nanokontrol to the computer. Within Ableton you should be able to route both the keyboard and the Nanokontrol to the CME U2MIDI Pro (or any other USB interface for MIDI you purchase) to control the QY100.
I happen to own two?iConnectivity Mio devices that do the same thing as the CME U2MIDI Pro. I'm only suggesting the U2MIDI Pro because it's $20 on Amazon, rather than $36 like the Mio devices.
In my home studio I use USB-to-MIDI adapter devices like the CME U2MIDI Pro for each of my older synths that do not have a USB interface built into them. In the "Audio MIDI Setup" application on my Mac I am able to see two "iConnectivity Mio" devices for two of my synths. To know the difference, I was able to rename them "Alesis QSR Mio" and "Akai AX-60 Mio" respectively so I know which synth they serve.
I use a powered USB hub to connect many devices to my computer. I run a long USB cable to another USB hub under my synth rack to connect those devices.
I use MIDI tracks in Cubase to configure MIDI coming from one device, like my USB MIDI controller keyboard, to another synth in my studio. The same ?by creating a MIDI track with "All Ins" and "All Channels" configured, and it will send MIDI from both your MIDI keyboard and the Nanokontrol to the QY100 if you configure it to do so.
I would recommend creating 2 MIDI tracks, and configuring each to route MIDI to the QY100 independently, that way you can control which MIDI channel of the QY100 each is routing signal to in the QY100.

well, i dont know how i could do that without a usb splitter...and the dore midi hostbox only has one usb connection...i currently have the qy100 connected to my macbook...its going into the 5 pin of an audio interface...and got my keyboard to control the qy100 thru ableton...so maybe i can get the nanokontrol to work this way
