He had a big disc with sound waves drawn on it in the same
way that movies use an optical soundtrack.
This allowed him to speed up a loop so much it eventually became 
a tone ( not easy to do well even with digital editing).
A much greater range of pitch than possible with tape loops.

At the beginning of Kontakte part 2 you can clearly hear a sound
slowing from a pitch into a rhythm.

Did he use tape loops as well?
(It just sounds like the big disk and a bit of multitracking to me.)
