It's kind of annoying but I am guessing probably the solution lies with Korg not Cakewalk.
I also guess that is Korg issue. "Real" Mackie device has endless encoders (they send +1/-1 only when turned right/left), Korg has normal knob (it physically produce continuous value is some range, normally mapped to 0-127). And so to emulate Mackie, Korg should somehow convert 0-127 to +1/-1, and from your observation they are doing so right in NK2. That problem does not exists for Faders, which are continuous on Mackie (with better resolution and motorized, but that is not so different).
In any case, you can get more out of Korg using my plug-in (see the signature) then using Mackie emulation. I have seen success reports, but there is no ready to use preset. Someone has to be the first... Begin with "Startup preset" (there is a video), it will not take long (and cost you nothing). You will instantly get basic functionality (including ACT dynamic mapping for controlling effects/instruments) and can add advanced features (LEDs, unusual commands, etc) later (I can help with that).
My personal favorite features for simple devices are several different modes for Knobs. Especially "instant curved" mapping combined with "endless imitation". The effect is almost equivalent to having real endless encoders, without catching first and without big jumps. The same knob with Shift can be used for the final fine tuning.
If you add any phone/tablet to the setup, you can have "hi resolution touch sensitive display" which work in cooperation with NK2 (show parameter/track names, values, operation mode as well as extra controls).
