Best auto-filter plug-in?

I'm looking for a basic auto-wah plug-in to use with Live - would like something with more control than the Ableton plug (threshold, envelope controls, maybe even a wet/dry mix...)

Something for general mangling too...

What are your favorites?

My favourite filter plug for the computer (for its kick ass sound) is definately the "Crayon" filter available FREE at betabugsaudio.com.... it is not an "auto filter" per say, but will lives envelopes anything is possible... here is a blurb about it:

Crayon Filter is a multi-band filter plug-in. The band controls allow you to add a type of filter to the output of the signal. You can engage up to five filter types at once (one of each type). Low Pass attenuates high frequencies, giving your sound a "dull" feel. Band Pass attenuates both above and below the cutoff frequency, for a "thin" or "nasal" sound, High Pass removes low frequency signals. Notch removes just a small band of frequencies from the signal. Peak boosts a small band of frequencies in your audio...

Not a very inspired blurb but sonically this plug in rocks...

have you tried the Kjaerhus Classic Auto Filter?
it has most of the options you have described,
and the presets are also quite usable.

I think the Kjaerhaus classic is pretty good.

Filterscape will be out for PC in the near future (check Urs' forum at KVR)!
Very excited about this one.

Then Zebra for PC?!? May we all be so lucky!

Cheers.
