you would only be able to use the efx on the master channel not the individual ones... how about buying pro so you can use the plugins available and geting a midi controller like the akai lpd 8 to control them, it's probably $250 for a second hand efx or $150 for an upgrade to pro and $100 for an lpd 8

How would I go about hooking up a korg kaossilator pad quad to my mixtrack pro????

if it is a midi controler you would just need to hook it up, but I suspect it is an audio effect much the same as the efx, so probably only the master channel... if you want to go down the touch route, i suggest waiting for the icon icreativ as this is a midi controler with leds for visual feedback albeit not as pretty as korgs...

Is there any way I could use a Novation Launchpad as one controller and the mixtrack pro as another? Like using 3 channels in vdj or traktor?

I'm not sure you could run and send midi to two different programs at the same time (traktor/vdj), as one of the atomix staff told me a while ago that vdj would take all the midi signals, but I was asking about a dmx lighting program...
if you just want to use multiple controllers that isn't a problem, it just needs a file made up to tell vdj how to treat the incoming midi messages called a definiion file.
there is already a mapper made for the launchpad so 80% of the work is done for you the other 20% is just changing the mapping to what you want the unit to do, but considering there are 2 leds (3 colors) under each pad it could be a bit complex at first if you don't figure ot the basics.
finally I have to say it... you need to have pro to use another controller alongside your MTP
