Reply to Midi fighter and free DAWS

Just wanting to know if i can use my midi fighter in a program like reaper with a plugin drum rack sampler.I am saving up for a Z2 and can't afford to buy traktor if it isn't taken out of the price for the z2 (which is bundled with traktor).Any help would be greatly appreciated.any knowledge of what i can and can't do with freeware would also be appreciated.
