Hey All - just curious - has anyone tried or is it possible, to use the MPC as a midi controller in Traktor? I was thinking assigning buttons could play the track and the q-link faders might be able to adjust the pitch?

Just tried it out very quickly, it's possible.
Just set up the midi out on the MPC to master, connect MPC's midi OUT to PC's Midi IN.
Make sure the selected track is assigned to a midi channel.
Fix your midi settings in traktor and the use the 'Learn' function to assign the pads to the right functions.
You can use the pads to control the app, but I doubt it's possible for the sliders (because I don't think they send midi data). But you could assign one pad to pitch up and one to pitch down.
Just try and experiment a bit with it.
