Midi Keyboard Live Situation - Help!

[stev]

Hi,

I currently use a borrowed 67key midi/usb keyboard live and am looking to buy one. I use it with a couple of softsynths in standalone mode. My question is this: Say for instance in one song the keys are running through Massive and then in the next song they are running through Reason (or some other synth): - Is there a way to flip between programs without having to resort to using a mouse and closing/opening programs????? Can a midi keyboard be programmed to do this? Or could anyone suggest the best way to do this live? There are sounds specific to certain songs that could not be easily replicated by trying to do them all in one synth, if you get me.

Hopefully you can help. I realise this has nothing to do with Pro Tools but I'm an Mbox user and you've helped me with stuff before. Thanks

Steve
