I would have absolutely no problem controlling a softsynth with my Motif ES in a live band situation. I run FL studio as a host and it has yet to crash on my laptop. I have flp files that are set up like registrations are setup on an arranger. I can recall them in an instant.

Still, in a live situation, there aren't many sounds I really need that the ES won't do for me. I would not really want to use the soft synths at all in a live solo act. Just too much else to focus on.... I like One Man Band, and would even consider using it as an emergency backup, but an arranger board still seems to be much better navigation wise.
