I'm after some software for playing live, I was wondering if any of you know of a program, that allows you to chain songs together, and has good midi support.

Take it you've discounted the Hardware sequencer/midi-filer approach?

Its *exactly* what I'll be doing when we start gigging.. I LOVE my PC based production setup but there's no why I'd rely on it for gigging!!!
Any softsynths I used in a track production would either be sampled or I'd re-interpret the track to use my hardware synths...
If you don't have that option.. I'm guessing go for the most solid laptop, o/s build you can absolutely optimised and stripped bare for just music production only....
I remember a guy here who was doing really well working from a PC laptop setup on gigs.. then it went down on him during a show... NIGHTMARE!!!

If you're not already, seek out live electronic acts playing around in your area, go check out their rigs and see how they play them. Get some ideas, experiment...you *can* do it w/out yer whole friggin' computer (or even no computer!), trust me.
if you still wanna go lappy, go mac. I'm a total PC guy but I'm saying, for live, I personally would use a mac!
"One way of achieving this is pasting trhee or four songs together into one midi file premixed."
theoretically yes, in practice?? Possible serious wackness ;-) Might as well play your set off the Winamp jukebox, IMHO.

I'm very strongly considering testing Sonar in a live situation on a lappy. Sonar makes it dirt easy to assign controllers to things (mute groups, knobs, sliders, whatever). We're working on integrating our live show with intelligent lighting and video so I may have only one choice, unfortunately.
FYI, MDFMK used laptops live on their last tour, and I'm sure they'll use 'em again on this summer's KMFDM tour.

All I needed to know bud... I've been keeping my eyes out for a cheapish one for some time now, and I don't think I'll be changing that.. ;)
Cheers

It's the bomb for hardware sequencers. It was an impulse buy I've never regretted.
