Hey Sparkle,
Thanks, am looking for motorised faders though, tactile and feedback stuff.
Am liking the takeover control thing of the Euphonix and Mackie Control.
@ Rave, I was asking you cos they dont support ableton or list it on their site. so, as someone who uses it regularly I figured you can give me better insight than the marketing materials. . .

I slipped into a daze, whilst I was there I heard the most startling music, it was at once familiar and alien, reassuring and unsettling.

Yeah, the tascam thing looks interesting although possibly it's on it's way out. .
Ok, so rave, i am checking out the videos for the Euphonix, but it's all Logic which was why i was asking you about how it works with live.
Does it work in the same way as in the video? i.e. can i use it to load up a plug without using a mouse, then edit parameters?
Sorry to keep bugging you about it but you are the only source of info, they dont sem to support live so I am curious abou how it woks. I tried phoning them today and they weren't ery much cop, the guy i spoke to didn't know much about ableton
From your earlier post it seems that you are just using it for the flying faders. . .
I am also wondering how it would integrate with 3rd party plugs, I use Sonalksis and the URS channel strip pro for eq. Am thinking that the mackie might be a better option for integration. . . Off to try and find more info. . ..
PS thanks for the advice so far, much appreciated. .

On my side..
I tried different kind of controllers since Live 3 !
The first one was a Digidesign R1 MIDI controller, without any possibility of MIDI assignement (only on Channel 1, every knobs are assigned on the basic MIDI implementation chart) : it was great because the faders were 100 mm long and it's rock-solid ! But you have to plug a power supply and there's no USB port ! Maybe one day, I have to circuit-bend it (if anyone have suggestions, or anything about this possibility)
After that, I used a UC17 which is great for Live gigs (especially as DJ-styled behaviors) but less controls as expected.
Then, a Oxygen 8 (great also) and a Alesis Photon 25 (great knobs but no MIDI output available on Mac)
I used once a BCR2000 that crashes my Mac all the time so I sold it on the web. Since then, I'm a bit angry about Behringer's devices...
And then, I like my Bitstream 3x (but it's pretty hard to program) because it's rock-solid, plenty of knobs and faders, features like arpegiator or MIDI LFO, a joystick... Just Great !
And the last one : a MPD24 just for drums and keyboard features... Not bad.
If you're looking for something cheap and practical, have a look on Ebay on Novation K-Station (yeah : it's a synth) as both sound generator and pretty good MIDI controller. I tried it in my studio and it works so well...
