Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. 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). Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Andrei Lee -- Public Access Unix of New York "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
