Yes you are right the Yamaha BC3 is no longer made.

The TEControl BC, there are two models: USB only and USB + MIDI DIN

The Kronos and the TEControl USB model work together, there are some users here on this forum with this combination.

I'm not sure that the PA3X/PA900 is a class compliant USB host like the Kronos. If it's not as I suspect, the USB-only TEControl device won't work.

The MIDI DIN connector of the other TEControl model will instead connect straight into the MIDI IN port of the PA3X/PA900 and will definitely work, provided you enable reception of external MIDI CCs and assign it to something meaningful.

Good luck!
