Replacing Octatrack as Performance Effects Mixer in Ableton

I am using Octatrack as a performance mixer (EZ BOT template) for transition effects and looping. The rest of the Octa I am not using anymore. I use Syntakt and Digitakt for the sequencer, sampler duties.

The drawback is that the Octa only has 4 inputs and I really don’t need all those other features. I was thinking about using Ableton and a MIDI Fader to replace the octa. Are there transition/master effects and a looper that work similar to what the Octatrack does ? Especially risers and stuff like that ? Thanks a lot !

Can run this in ableton

Sort of.
Get an old APC40 and create your own pseudoctatrack in Live.

I did exactly that about a decade ago before I got the OT.

Never heard of that one. Could really do the trick. And I have and APC40 to do the looping.
