(i'v got the Novation, the Edirol and the Monome and they are each one of them very specific) -I was wondering, would i really enjoy a Faderfox for my Ableton use ? Brian well, will all that gear you must be in control.

I tend to adapt to the project. MVPs in my studio: * Korg padKONTROL -- yeah, fewer pads, but fantastic velocity response * Faderfox: super tiny, terrific to use, very Ableton-y * Novation ReMOTE SL -- because I love keyboards * Edirol PCR-M1 -- my do-everything, drop in a suitcase when you can't carry anything else * Really liking this new KORE * Most excited about the Monome I'm building For gigs, it's nice being adaptable in this way, just personally.

I use regularly an EMU XL7 Command Station which IMHO is the best you can get. And I do music with it as well. Real cheap nowadays seconf-hand on eBay, and it's a keep.
