YEs and no.. there quite a few musicians using synth and drummachines

From my experience, though, most are augmenting pre-existing sequences
by adding/subtracting notes
and by switching, in real time, between different tracks that have been
pre-written.
I could be wrong (and please correct me if I am, Anders, because I want
to be knowledgeable)
but I would venture to say that very, very few are composing sequences
in real time.
I say this as an experienced drum machine programmer. It's one thing
to customize by adding and subtracting
to tracks you've already written but it takes too much time to program
an entire sophisticated drum machine
pattern in real time.
I know there are a lot of programs that have algorithmic changes that
are possible (Stylus RMX, for example), but quite frankly, I think they
can produce interesting patterns but they do NOT, imho, sound like real
drummers drumming.
I'm probably a lot more sophisticated than most listeners but I can spot
those kinds of programs a mile
away when people are using them live.
Okay, edu-ma-cate me..........
