Traktor can send midi out for the modifier state, and El-wire can be hooked up to a sequencer to drive it with a midi command. This is totally feasible right now.
*note: I have TTXs which give me a digital readout of the pitch. Switching between decks might become complicated if your TTs don't provide a digital pitch readout so that you know approximately where to "Reset" the pitchfader while switching between decks. I am currently looking into the option of having a dual strobe system synced with Traktor's "tempo fader" output, or separate program track the rotation speed of the platter and turn on an LED when the platter speed reaches a value corresponding to the midi-output of the "tempo fader" from tractor for the deck you are switching to, but that is a lot more hassle than just remembering that "Deck A is pitched down 3.7%" and replacing the fader in that position.
Step by step for Tractor:
Step One: Go into Audio preferences and set decks C and D to receive the same input as A and B. Now your CV controls decks A/C B/D.
Step Two: Set a global modifier to a button, have the modifier "direct" the value of itself from "0" to "1" on button "press" and set it to "direct" the value from "1" to "2" on the button "invert". Duplicate the controls and reverse the function so that modifier toggles between values "0" and "2" with a "hold state" at value "1"
Step Three: Set the same button to "direct" deck A to "Relative playback" if the modifier value is "0", "internal playback" if the modifier value is "1", and "internal playback" if the modifier value is "2".
Step Four: Set the same button to "direct" deck C to "Relative playback" if the modifier value is "2", "internal playback" if the modifier value is "1", and "internal playback" if the modifier value is "0".
Step Five: Duplicate steps One-Four for decks B/D
