    I am making the switch from FL Studio to Ableton Live because it suits my workflow. There are only a couple features missing that i used heavily in FL Studio. A google search also does not help, that´s why I am asking here.

    The thing i miss most is FL Studio´s Control Surface. In FL i can have a Window with knobs that control knobs inside of plugins i want to automate later. Does Ableton have something like that? Can i use Fl Studios Control Surface to control Plugins in Ableton? Here is a picture:

    Yes, it's called audio effect rack or midi effect rack.

    Maybe consider a third party plugin like waves studiorack, it's free.

    Thanks for your answer! In my understanding the effect rack is for adding multiple effects, and not controlling different effects on different channels like the Control Surface? Or can i make effect rack do that?

    It has a macro section, you can map and control any parameter from the plugins in the rack. Don't know if that's what your looking for.

    There's an M4L device called Map8 in the Max for Live Essentials pack.

    Even though it's listed as a Max Audio device you can load it on a MIDI channel. You can load as many as you want. You can map to any channel in your set. And you can map any plugin paramater that has been Configured in Live.
