i think sampling is all he used them for.

how do you trigger a loop w/a turntable? well, i thought of one way, but it
would be pointless... i'm sure he used decks for soundsources (loop fodder,
scratching, etc.--i'd be really surprised if he sampled someone else's deck
stop in "changeling").

my point is that w/the proper program, you could do the whole album w/a hard
disc recorder--which is what i think he did.
