I found Reaper a lot more versatile and reliable (and cheaper - in fact Zero $$ if using Reper for it's original purpose anyway) for this than the dedicated software I tried, (OK: I did not yet buy/test the new masterkeyboard-software combinations by Native Instruments and Alesis that seem to be just great, and usable for this purpose without needing a lot of configuration). For this, I use SWS "LiveConfigs and I did some small special purpose JSFXes.
A friend of mine uses Reaper for live playing all available SWAM instruments with a real Wind Controller ("EWI"). For him, I did a set of JSFXes that allow to control "LiveConfigs" (and other Midi Instruments' sound switching) via keyboard shortcuts in a very versatile way (including setting up set lists for a gig; see ->
http://www.bschnell.de/patch.pdf ).
Another friend of mine is about to start to sell a Midi to DMX (and other interfaces) hardware box ("ADMX2"), bundled with a lot of JSFXes that allow Reaper to be used for very sophisticated and easily synced to a music production stage lighting automation (and much more cool stuff).
Reaper decently rocks !
