Performed. (And a college professor told me she recorded at half speed.)

The sequences of the time weren't like a midi file is today. I'm used to hearing the repetitive sequences in 1970s music that were a few bars long; if there's any kind of example of programming a Moog to play something more than a few bars, I'd like to see it.

IE: Something like this only appears to play a few bars on repeat: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SequencerCBM--moog-s... It's not capable of playing an entire song.



Thanks for the added details. Yes I'm familiar with those early sequencers, I believe that the idea was that you would use them for a musical phrase and then put them together as a longer sequence on tape. Roughly similar to clip mode vs song mode in a modern DAWs (but much more limited).


That might be possible.

Its been years since I listened to Wendy's "Secrets of Synthesis," but I don't remember her discussing long sequences or techniques like you describe. The implication is predominantly live keyboard performances.
