I still find it difficult to believe that by 1990 he hand created his music patterns as binary/hex using a text editor.

The time that would be eaten up by the edit-assemble-play-edit-assemble-play would be prohibitive.

Even if he had a program could take in the patterns without the assemble... creating loops etc. would be so time consuming compared to the music tools available.
