Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. Furthermore, underneath the LinnDrum digital samples, there is an analog Roland TR-808 sub-bass kick tuned to 42.6 Hz (exactly 3x 14.2 Hz). The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Dmitri García *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch.

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software.
