The CC1 control is commonplace in most VSTs as a dynamic control, whilst CC11 is frequently used in orchestral libraries as an “expression” control. Other libraries, like those from Spitfire Audio (as seen in the video tutorial) assign CC values to a wide range of other parameters. The Platform Series are better served for laptop and mobile use, and like the larger QCons, can be expanded with up to three fader expanders for a maximum of 32 channels.There are three main versions of Ableton Live: Intro, Standard and Suite. Although Intro and Standard are both powerful, Suite offers extra features, such as 70GB of library sounds, in contrast to Standard's 10GB.

The Platform M+ uses MIDI data to send commands to each DAW, which means that it can also be used for a range of other applications, including as an expression controller for virtual instruments and other plugins within DAW projects. This makes the Platform M+ a versatile solution to those who would primarily use it for DAW-based work but also want to be able to use it for adding realism to instrument libraries in their projects.
