MIDI FADERS Control - multiple tracks

I am looking into way to control recorded sequences on my Korg PA arranger.

What I want to specifically achieve is – select many tracks for example: Drum/Perc track, Accomp track 1, 2, 3 and tie them to a Master Fader.
I want to fade anywhere from 2 to 6 tracks – fade out the levels and fade them back in at same time.

Will an external Fader such as Korg nanoCONTROL2 work? Or is there any DAW for example Reaper, where I can β€œtie” 2 or more Faders to a Master Fader and use the Master Fader to fade in/out the volume levels?

At present moment, I can fade in/out one track at a time using the slider or the wheel on my keyboard.

You can do fade-in/-out with nanocontrol. As nanocontrol has no Midi-out but simple Midi-over-USB you additional need a Midi-Host (maybe a laptop), to be connected between nanocontrol and Pa-keyboard.

Laptop yes

I am using a Laptop to interface with my Roland JV 2080 unit to control the faders. Now I am guessing it would be how I assign the CC0XX values to Midi In channels.

I have been told I can for example assign CC077 to track 1, 2, 3, 4 and fade one track which automatically fades other tracks assigned to the control Channel value.

I have not tried it. Will REAPER work ?

Reaper does allow grouping of tracks. That would then allow volume adjustments by group. I have not used that function myself; but a friend uses grouping to apply efx more efficiently. Same should work for volume. Fwiw
