Maschine
Maschine is a unique instrument combining sequencer, sampler, multi-effects and a full blown integrated hardware controller into a simple system. It is created by Native Instruments who are a very well established company in the VST industry. The software runs in stand-alone or as a VST plugin (much like Native Instrument's "Kontakt". The hardware is a controller designed for Maschine, but can also be used as a general purpose MIDI controller. Darren Price (Underworld) shows a great example of how this software can be used in love performance in the above video.
Reason
Reason is a DAW (digital audio workstation) developed by Propellerhead Software. It emulates the rack of hardware synthesizers, samplers, signal processors, sequencers and mixers, all of which can be freely interconnected using the rack toggle feature. You can switch the view to the back of the rack so you can rewire the rack freely. Reason can be used as a complete virtual music studio, or can be rewired into a seperate sequence such as Cubase.
The above video shows The Bays explaining their use of Reason in a live situation. They use multiple sessions of the sampler in Reason and play thei own samples through it, effectively using Reason live.
