How many folk here play live sets with (mainly) live drum/synth synthysis

I`ve often thought of incorporating visuals into my music purely because I am an artist (for want of a better word)
I have a degree in animation and still keenly pursue my visual artistry, however, you can`t do a good job of the music, if you are trying to do visuals as well. It`s simply too much, and the quality of one performance will be reduced to compensate for the other
Jack of all trades, master of none etc.

That`s why we have VJ`s

If there was some interactive plugin like you get on winamp that could sync to ableton, say, then that would be gravey.

That's why one person always manned each perspective part in the setups I've played. We'd sometimes trade up here and there. But, I've never done a Live PA where I was running a sequencer, playing melodies, and doing visuals all at the same time by myself. However, this is actually something that could be pulled off pretty well with Arkaos if one did the proper advance preparation. Everything is controllable by MIDI, with the parameters being assignable.
