Ya, you could just create and not perform, but that could be said of any artist.
A good show will involve the producer actually creating the track live. So they have their soundboard, and whatever instruments they use and they build the music. So they'd have one set of controls for the base line, and another for symbols, vocals or whatever. But you can inject personality into the performance by varying the track quite a bit. Guys like the Chemical Brothers are masters at live performance and working the track to the audience.
