some people do real time processing with stuff like spark or pluggo, they
just run the track in whatever sequencer and just add some DSP...
alot of people simply hit one button that initiates things/a track and then
pretend to look like they are actually doing somehting, when they aren't
doing anything/or are doing very very little to alter what you are hearing.
I can think of quite a few idm performances i've seen that consisted of
this.
lets please not lead this into a discussion as to what constitutes a
"performace", idm live, blah blah..
