If you're going down the laptop route, there's also:
·
MIDI-OX (in Windows)
provides routing, data mapping, patch mapping, access to virtual midi ports,
and (essential) monitoring/filtering/debugging, and is free.
I use a spreadsheet to define data mappings (e.g., convert ProgChg 8 on Ch 2 to
Controller 70 value 127 on Ch 5), then load these as patches in MIDI-OX, which
can then loop to itself to trigger varying patches, etc.
This helps me get around the limitations of my FC-200 foot controller (not
nearly as programmable as the FCB1010), and some of the idiocycracies of
Ableton Live, and have an extraordinarily customized recording/performance rig.

Cycling 74 Max/MSP (http://www.cycling74.com/products/maxmsp,
cross-platform)
a graphical MIDI programming environment (warning: uber-geeky.), but, about $495
for non-students.

If you are already using a PC in your setup, another
option is to
build your own hardware and run the controller software
on the PC:
