The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Pavel Popov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of EarthLink Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From hfischer@demon.co.uk Thu Jul 20 03:48:05 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!demon!hfischer From: hfischer@demon.co.uk (Hugo Fischer) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Jul20.034805.3524@demon.co.uk> Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 03:48:05 GMT References: <1995Jul18.072905.9607@earthlink.net> Organization: Demon Internet Services UK NNTP-Posting-Host: demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1995Jul18.072905.9607@earthlink.net>, ppopov@earthlink.net (Pavel Popov) writes: > Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.
