I disagree with this, a live PA can use a sequencer, but mostly only to sequence a loop, where each track has it's own instrument, and can be muted (turned off) induvidually, thus allowing a whole tune to be remixed and manipulated in real time, meaning a great deal of spontenaity within the performance.

This isn't always the case. Ableton allows audio loops to be muted/unmuted, and therefore doesn't need to run a sequencer (I think I'm right in saying this), but the loops are all presequenced audio from a computer sequencer such as SX (or hardware).

It would be nigh on impossible for the solo artist who has produced the music in the computer to be able to play the music in a traditional sense (ie with keyboards and v-drums etc), and so some sort of sequence must be used, so basically a loop is generally used and remixed on the fly.

Still, with that in mind, each set can differ emmensly between performances, with all the filtering and volume control that a modern setup allows, an awful lot of work can go into a performance, and it gives the performer alot more flexibility over the music compared to djing.

I will actually stick my neck out here and say that I think it could be the future of electronic music in general, but that's just my opinion! :lol:
