Hmmmm, anyone in the know will tell you that a 303 is basically a
sound source and a sequencer and you can't really play it without
a CV-in retrofit (unless you press the buttons in play mode). So
I think something would have been sequenced.
Another point on this subject is that even if the whole show was
sequenced the keyboards are actually producing the sound in "Real-Time".
So even if the artist isn't happy playing a repetitive 4 bar bass line
at 140bpm (who would be?) then they could at least alter the timbre,
sweep the filters etc. One of the best bits of Orbitals shows is to
see one of the Hartnolls giving the 303 filter & resonance a real
thrashing. There 100% LIVE playing of the Jupiter 8 (6 maybe) is
pretty good too.
Finally there is a definate audio difference between DAT & sequenced
sets, some of it down to the Digital v Analog debate, but also there's
anything up to (in Orbitals case) 32 channels of audio with 8 fx sends
& EQ to sort out. DJ's such as Richie Hawtin make a name for themselves
mixing & re-EQ'ing one or two audio sources, imagine what you could do
if you had every component of a song :)
