So, in short, don't bother because you can do it in the software (Traktor etc.) already.
If you really want to do this though, or want to use an external effects unit like an EFX500 or a Kaoss Pad, do the following. Route cables from the FX Send on the back of your mixer into the Send/Input on your effects unit or soundcard (for software). Then route cables from the output of the effects unit/soundcard back to the mixer's FX return input. You control the amount of the effect in the channel with the same knob you control your filter with. The XfX button on the filter section only controls whether your filters get applied before or after the effects.
