While it's possible to drive samples somehow, it's incredibly 
improbable someone would use a Control Voltage based 
sequencer to conntrol samples. Let alone risk doing so reliably 
in a live context. 

Also wouldn't you think EML would have used the fact PF used 
their gear for their marketing somewhere sometime if it was 
used on any kind of regular basis?

There just has to be more of a mistake than just the sampling 
one. Like that gear belong to an openning act, or someone 
thought that pic was cool, kept it and then years later guessed 
where it came from.
