Since nobody I know except sound engineers and the like us the word 
'mains' like that, and as you also mention a 'high quality' amp, I'm 
going to assume (wrongly, naturally) that that is the sort of setting 
you will be operating in.

All the functions you need can be had through MIDI, with some extra 
hardware. Several companies produce MIDI lighting packs, and MIDI sound 
mixers. Just about any software will do, but make certain that if your 
gear requires SysEx messages, your software can produce them. For more 
specific information about a MIDI system of thsi magnitude, 
rec.music.synth is probably a better group to ask in.
