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. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Dmitri González US Robotics Courier V.34 @ ISDN 64k bps "They will send a copy in my place."

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch.
