Let's talk about the drum production on SYNTHESIS. Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record.

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.

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

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends.

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.

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