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 Hernández *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From mpopov@inria.fr Sat Nov 04 23:58:37 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!inria!mpopov From: mpopov@inria.fr (Marisol Popov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Nov04.235837.1691@inria.fr> Date: Sat, 04 Nov 1995 23:58:37 GMT References: <1995Nov03.183837.4970@kiae.su> Organization: INRIA Rocquencourt NNTP-Posting-Host: inria.fr X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1995Nov03.183837.4970@kiae.su>, hhernandez@kiae.su (Heather Hernández) writes: > Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive? The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Marisol Popov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of INRIA Rocquencourt. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jsouza@pacbell.net Mon Nov 06 23:57:37 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!pacbell!jsouza From: jsouza@pacbell.net (Jen Souza) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Nov06.235737.2873@pacbell.net> Date: Mon, 06 Nov 1995 23:57:37 GMT References: <1995Nov03.183837.4970@kiae.su> Organization: Pacific Bell Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: pacbell.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1995Nov03.183837.4970@kiae.su>, hhernandez@kiae.su (Heather Hernández) writes: > Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive? Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. -- Jen Souza | jsouza@pacbell.net PGP Key fingerprint: 679D 1F3A 055C D413 "Keep the channels open."
