Can the Korg Nanopad, nanokey, and nanokontrol be used at the same time in nanostudio? or MPK25

I feel nanostudio is a pretty easy program to use and has diversity for the beginner such as myself. I am not new to software or recording by any means just to "dubstep" type of music. I wasn't able to find any hotkeys on my computer keyboard to run the drum pad or the synth so I am assuming to do anything great with this program (windows version) I will need midi controls. I have been looking all day and have come up with the nanoseries 2 made by Korg and the akai mpk25. Does anyone know if this software supports the use of all 3 items from Korg or is it just best to run the one akai mpk25?

I'm using the Akai MPKmini which gives pretty much all the control you're looking for (in one device), and it works very well with NS.
NanoStudio only supports a single input device, and if you plug all of these in together then they will look like multiple devices. I think I remember someone solving this, maybe through the use of a free bit of software which merges all the devices together and presents them as a single 'virtual' device. Check out something called MIDI Yoke - I think it's only meant to work on Windows XP or older, but a bit of Googling turns up ways to make it work with Windows 7 (or maybe there's something newer around).
Of course, a single device is simpler than all this!
