Can I use the Traktor Kontrol X1 Mk2 for controlling Traktor effects, when playing vinyl as THRU through Traktor Pro?

As I want to switch between vinyl releases (using the THRU mode) and vinyl timecode (both in Traktor), will I still be able to use the X1 Mk2 for effects when I play actual vinyl?

One possible problem I can imagine is that because the effects within Traktor are BPM-synced, effects become out of sync when the effects are applied to the THRU mode played vinyl (if possible at all). anyone having experience with this kind of setup?

This is what i know:

• Traktor FX are syncd to Traktor Master Clock.
• Master Clock can be slaved to a deck which is set to Master, either manually or automatically.
• A deck set to THRU cannot be set to Master.

This is what i imagine doing to have it your way:

• Set Auto Master Mode to OFF.
• Enable Master Clock TICK.
• Remap one or more of your now basically useless Endless Knobs (Loop, Browse) to control Master Clock Tempo, Master Clock Pitch Bend and TAP functions (for the latter i would experiment with the Knob Touch control assignment).
• Use the new controls and your headphones in conjunction with the audible TICK to align the Master Clock to the tempo of the tracks playing through your decks.

Edit: I imagine you can still manually set the timecode decks to be Master. But i am not sure in this regard, since i don't have experience with timecode setups.
