So to answer my own question. The answer is NO.
Once you read past the slick marketing, the API and the hardware design makes it impossible to use the MIDI portion of the MK2, except for uses I can't seem to grasp in three pieces of software.
To quote enttec:
"The DMX USB PRO Mk2 has an inbuilt MIDI port that allows you to connect hardware MIDI devices to some specific lighting control software
For this special MIDI port to work, you will need the optional Midi breakout cable and be using one of the following programs that support this feature:
- D-PRO
- liveShowsoftware
- QLC+"
