Budget LFO tool + more
The more I use this tool the more I love it. It's fantastic for ducking and stutter effects and can also be used as an envelope shaper or gate. It also gives you the option of creating individual envelopes for low, mid, and high bands. It's a super useful utility plugin, a must-have for me.

My go-to keyboard controller
I have this right behind my keyboard, front and center at my workstation. The keys are semi-weighted and feel very natural. It also includes some pads for drum or sequencing input and a handful of programmable knobs that are perfect for mapping to your macros in Ableton.

Not the easiest thing to set up but it makes a tremendous improvement to your workflow.
It took a lot of searching online to find the proper drivers and more importantly, the initialization process in order to get this thing working as intended. That was a huge drawback but now that it's working with Ableton it makes things so much easier to deal with. Moving faders and knobs on screen is kind of a pain. The knobs, faders, and buttons makes the process much more natural and quick. Having transport controls, mute, arm, and solo buttons on the deck is a huge plus. It's small and light which makes it easy to transport. I dig it, a pain at first but it was worth the wait and work.

Great sounding, but buggy as heck.
I've had a tough time with this synth. I had it installed when I was primarily using Studio One 3 and it crashed often while loading causing studio one to skip it on load. I've had even less luck with Ableton, and currently, I'm unable to reinstall it due to their strict licensing process, so it's a dud for me.
