This is true, when I had put together a little live setup with the:

-padkontrol pads set up to trigger clips and the knobs and trackpad  
for live's effects control
-a kore setup with a couple synth sounds split across a midi keyboard,  
and the kore controller knobs

it was quite fun. Though I have trouble translating this to how it  
would work for writing a track, vs. playing with one.
