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 kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Pavel Sánchez | psanchez@inria.fr PGP Key fingerprint: 9323 0932 7BBA 2780 "Keep the channels open."

You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal. Save yourself $1,500. -- Liam Nakamura *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. -- === Astrid Souza === Dept of Electrical Engineering, MindSpring Enterprises "The hatch is open.
