There are midi files here to get you started:

Any linux sequencer like seq24 and rosegarden will play those. I've
never seen a midi file for 'Ricochet' , that'd be kool. Lots of synths
of that era had built in sequencers, and analog sequencers then also
did exist, so they used that I believe when possible.
