Peanut gallery comment: I remember somewhere Carlos stated that to 
achieve those fast ornamented lines on the Moog, the part was played 
at half tempo, an octave down, and with the tape recording at half 
speed.  (As such, when the tape was played at normal speed the desired 
tempo and pitch resulted.)  I don't recall the exact reasons - but the 
Moog modular did have difficulty with the fast playing.  I'm trying to 
remember where I read this - it might have been in the booklet that 
comes with the Switched on Boxed Set.
