Would not go with the Soundtower PlugSE. I have spent enormous amounts of time to get it working in Ableton 10 (and also Reaper, same thing)...it still is "off-line", even though it reacts to parameter-changes both ways, but requires loopback routing (midi from PlugSE to ext track which is in turn routed BACK to the PlugSE track!!) to get any midi notes/parameters recorded. I have had long mailing-sessions with support, but so far no solutions that work. If anyone in the community has a solution to the PlugSE not being able to be "ON-LINE" I would be most grateful.
The Soundtower Editor, on the other hand, comes "on-line" immediately with the same settings.
Off to try the CODEknobs now, then ;-)
