Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. 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? -- Tyler Kim US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 19,200 bps "Row 14.

That sub-kick tuning blew my mind when I checked it on a spectrum analyzer. 42.6 Hz is the 3rd harmonic of 14.2 Hz! Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns. -- === Bill Martínez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, UC Berkeley Department of EECS "The hatch is open.
