Live Performance Software for Mac

I’m looking for live performance software. Ableton Live does what I need done, but at $450, it seems like purchasing a new car to have a place to sit.

I need it to trigger mp3 files, loop them, and change the file based on MIDI input. Is there something out there for Mac that does this? I’ve spent far too many hours researching this already. Help me out, internet! kevin@incompetech.com

 

UPDATES!

Reaper Only has actions assignable to 30 regions. So… no go there.

Logic I might be able to write my own from scratch using Scripter and the ESX24. I do not want to do this.

Mainstage I’ve not seen anyone do this in Mainstage. Possible?

Ableton Live 9 Intro Doesn’t have enough scenes.
