This is possible to set up on the Mac using a free application called MidiPipe. I use it on my computer running Ableton with an APC40 attached to hijack some of my MIDI signal from the APC40 and route it back out over an M-Audio Uno USB to Midi cable that goes into my Audio 8 DJ soundcard which is plugged into a second Mac running Traktor Scratch Pro. In this fashion, the top right 8 knobs on my APC 40 control some additional things in Traktor that aren't readily accessable on my custom Kontrol X1 device mapping in Traktor (like filter, master clock tempo and a few other things). Meanwhile, everything else on the APC40 continues to control Ableton for layering of loops on top of my Traktor DJ tracks and using Ableton Live FX on top of all my various audio channels.
