Nope, only using hardware.
It's more reliable and more fun to work with.(IMO)
I don't like to watch a performance where people are looking 
hypnotised at a laptop all the time.
I once saw a guy at a live contest with only one laptop. He didn't 
look at the crowd once and was only looking at the screen like a 
statue. The people backstage where very dissapointed with this set 
and my friends in the crowd thought he was watching porn while 
playing a CD. 
Would anyone like to be like him?

Also the less you look at screens and make music just by ear, the 
better it will get. Learn to work youre gear/sequencer like an 
instrument itself, you can make a true live performance this way.
I think that elektron gear is perfect for this job.
