The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- === Sergei Eriksson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14. Ears do."
