There are a few different types of live PAing. You've got an Ableton live arrangement/dub, or something like Stewart Walker where he uses an MPC + his other kit where he will have most of the patterns sequenced in advance, but he'll play some of them live on the MPC pads, and then trigger the sequences from the MPC as well (although I vaguely recall hearing he's using a laptop now)? Herbert will have most things pre-sequenced, and then he'll sample the sounds live. Then there's an entirely different level of liveness where almost all of the music is created on the fly a la Ayro and John Arnold, or Shawn Rudiman, where they play multiple instruments or machines in real time, have the seuencer take over for some of those parts, then move on to something else, only relying on a few bits of pre-arranged material. I'd say this last type has the most bang for the buck for sure. That Sendex show I was talking about on Sunday was sort of a cross between Stewart Walker and Shawn Rudiman styles maybe. Oh, and I was corrected after my last post that he actually had an 808 as well if anyone cares.
