That's the whole point of having an x0x..

Is doable good enough for live use?
You'll be hard pressed to admit this.
Live use for techno is completely different than the intended use of a
prophet 08, which is and always will be a lead *keyboard*
That's veeery different from techno lead sequences, basslines, drums, ...
Both in the way of what sound timbres are expected, and in the way of
how you want to edit them during a live performance. The 08 is not a
performance tool for someone doing techno, and definitely couldn't be
the main machine in a setup.
