Just got a korg nanokontrol studio. Anyone else have one?

I specifically bought it for gadget and my feelings about are mixed to be honest.

Bluetooth works great. Gadget sees it immediately and they both sync brilliantly.

But it is hardwired to gadgets mixer. You cannot create your own mappings (as far as I can tell at least). Even the scenes function doesn't work.
Also (like a lot of mackie control devices to be fair to korg) it is not very practical to control more than 8 tracks. You can get to these tracks by pressing the right track key but you only move up in track increments of one which means that you get lost pretty quickly because track 1 is now 2, 2 is now 3 etc. So if you want to control more than 8 tracks you may need two of these controllers or (as I'm going to try) use the nanokontrol for tracks 1-8 and the screen for 9-16.

Overall though it does add to the fun. Here is a jam of me using it with gadget on youtube: https://youtu.be/i-5Wnl7vLkY
