Slate online had a fun article about the score for this movie from the early 80's. The Composer, Brad Feidel said:
"Terminator was very difficult,” said Fiedel, “because I was using many different synths and sequencers and because I didn’t have MIDI available on many of them I had to sync them by hand. This is why the main theme is in a very odd time signature. The looping of the Prophet-10 was just a little short of a complete measure.”
Some years later, the article points out, Fiedel was asked by Henry Mancini for a Lead Sheet because he wanted to include the Terminator score in a project he was planning. Feidel didn't have one since he went straight to Film so he asked a Jazz friend, George Kahn, to come up with one. The result was in 13/16.
