[RWP] Configuring Reaper with Korg Nanokontrol2 control surface

[Patrick Perdue]

I also had the same problem when using my Motif XS as a control surface 
in Reaper when I tried it about a year ago. Eventually, I will probably 
get something like a BCF2000 and dedicate the NanoKontrol to controlling 
plugins only, but at the moment, I'm in New York City with a portable 
rig, and just wanted something small to use.
