Let's talk about the drum production on SYNTHESIS. 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).

The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound.
