The most powerful live-oriented host you can get for free is Live Professor, my go-to program for gigging. The catch is that it’s a public beta, but the latest version is quite stable. MIDI and audio routing is flexible, it handles tons of VST plug-ins, and mapping MIDI controllers is easy as pie. Its strongest feature is the Cue List, which lets you turn synths on and off, change presets, and do other MIDI functions, PowerPoint-style. Meaning, you can pre-program events and cue them with a keystroke, e.g., programchanging your entire virtual rack for the next song by hitting the space bar.
