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. Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Joachim Souza "Marcus is not one man."

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
