Reply to Traktor Kontrol X1

Ive just bought an X1 from another community member (thanks AboveDat!) and its due to be delivered in the morning so i'm understandably pretty excited!! I was hoping to run it along side my Digital Jockey to control decks C & D, mainly for triggering loops and Hotcues etc but ive searched this community and cant really find anyone else using it for this of a similar purpose.

So i have 2 questions:

1 - is this a reasonable use for the X1? and

2 - how do others fit this piece of kit into their set ups?

Appreciate your comments
