I think it's playing some of the arpeggios in the centre channel (if that's 
the right plural), but I'm just listening to the track now.
It also does a little solo during the middle eight ("Love is all, love is 
you") and then again towards the end.

There's more Moog on 'Here Comes The Sun' (that high-pitched whistle) and 
apparently it was also the source of the wind noise on 'I Want You'.
I'd always thought it was doing the "farting" noises on 'Mean Mr Mustard' 
too, but apparently not.

Right. Most of the tracks had evidently been conceived before the Moog 
arrived, so it was only adding colour. Plus George must have got some of it 
out of his system doing the Electronic Sound thing.
