well.... your question's not really different, but live performance w/
laptops is totally doable. (imho)
for loop-base try 'live' - i don't use it, but folks say it's really
cool, and i've heard interesting things from folks using it.
for synth/controller base, try 'reason' - what can i say, it's a $10KxN
studio in a computer. you can even turn the rack arround and do manual
cabling on the instrurments and sound deck. if you would like to improv
with it, set a loop point to 1-4 measures and play into it w/ a
controller, use the mouse / mute-solo btns etc to edit on the fly (wish
they would cut that stop recording on select delete 'feature' in the
next release...) super duper program from people that are snowed in most
of the year it seems :)
there are *so* many programs out there. look arround!
