Yeah, of course it's generic midi.
I think especially for Ableton you cannot design the perfect controller... people have so many different workflows, even with different layouts you cannot make everybody happy. I suppose the live-users with unlimited layout possibilities moaned very much about the layout and on top you have very much competition nowadays... that could have lead to the decision not to go the "dedicated for Live"-route anymore.
BTW: What did you use the joystick on the lv2 for? Navigation or fx?

Re: Faderfox USB 3rd generation
I use it with the beat repeats, for the filter, say, you loop the master, 'boom tsivbak tsi boom tsi bak tsi", then with the joystick you filter that loop to the subs, then slooooooowly move it up to the highs... mmmm coolBTW: What did you use the joystick on the lv2 for? Navigation or fx?
even stronger when there is a bit reducer or distortion , you get that euro rave hardcore disto filter tweakability in no time, even from a simple house track
for the rest of your post, I agree there is lots of competition, but for me its a big -1 for faderfox...
the LV2 was REALLy great, and I was REALLY curious about a supposed LV3...
anyway I can still get a 2nd hand LV2 if I want a 2nd unit. and, running on batteries with standard midi cables is also IMHO a great +1.
USB...
now with all that USB devices we all need to travel with Hubs

The chances of getting a cheap LV2 will never be better than in the next few weeks
