For searching through a track. Sure you can use a mouse pointer to search through a track's waveform but that level of control isn't quite as precise as using a jogwheel/cd player/turntable (the latter 2 if you're using Traktor Scratch). Hell I mean that's one of the reasons people use traktor scratch dude.

i've got one more question about the korg nanokontrol.

the 18 buttons it has are switches, which would be great for assigning to effects on/off buttons for example. but can those buttons be assigned to work as normal buttons too? like when i press one, it'd jump to a hot cue point? i wouldn't know how a switch would work in a situation like that? what would happen once you press it again, so that it goes off? or would it just stay at the hot cue point until i press the button again? can someone who has experience with midi controllers and the differences between buttons and switches on them help me out here?

Yeah I totally agree, but I personally dont mind using the mouse for searching through the track though; although a jogwheel would make it easier for sure.
