No he almost certainly won't have hand edited binary/hex patterns to input his music.
He will have coded his own system to input the music patterns. Perhaps even captured from MIDI devices such as a piano keyboard?
By 1990 it is possible that he didn't even use an Amiga to compose his work. It would have been a lot faster to use a 486 PC and cross assemble.

he was using midi even in the ZX Spectrum/C64 days so I assume it would be the same with Amiga format. Probably mix or some sort of midi sequencer with simple synth (aka Future Composer etc) and sample playback (pure speculation though). He was very good at writing his own stuff.
