I vaguely remember reading somewhere that they worked with some company in the 90's to develop a device that synchronizes the instruments so that the beats line up every time. So the short answer is: Magic.

My question is, what software do they use on the Macs. Are the Macs just driving midi instruments in their setup? I heard they use a Nord Wave, does it get driven by the Macs in real time?

I know, I know just enough to be wrong on lots of points. I'm pretty new to this kind of technology...
