Hi, Just to add to this conversation: the Google list of controllers is good as reference, but the best way to find out what your keyboard supports is to read the MIDI Implemnetation section of the manual for your keyboard. It's generally right at the back.
There's also a general list at the back of the QS manual of some common controllers. Two good reasons to check the MIDI Implementation Chart: first it will list which controllers are actually supported and second it will note any special cases, e.g. specific situations where the controllers don't work because of a setting for example. Looking at controllers, you may also find that certain pairs of controllers might appear to do the same thing: in particular: 7 volume and 11 expression. I believe the idea is that 7 should be used to set the main mix levels andyou can then use 11 within the track to cause volume adjustments. Hope this helps. James.
