If you are more into live performance/DJing and you like to use Live then this may very well be a site for you. Isotonic Studios offers Max4Live scripts for Live that add extra performance features to controllers such as the APC and Launchpad. We don't use these in our setup but well worth a look in for any performer or Live user. |

Native Kontrol aims to provide scripts that can "supercharge" your Ableton controllers by adding a host of high end features. There are scripts available for Launchpad, APC, MPD, Push and more. These scripts offer both studio and performance features and can even allow some controllers (such as Push) to work with other DAWs. Well worth a look. |
