However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Heather Karlsson | hkarlsson@cern.ch PGP Key fingerprint: 797F 4287 9305 8D3E "Keep the channels open."
