However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. 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? -- Astrid Rodríguez Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tpetrov@uni-hamburg.de Mon Sep 12 03:07:19 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!uni-hamburg!tpetrov From: tpetrov@uni-hamburg.de (Tomas Petrov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1994Sep12.030719.1953@uni-hamburg.de> Date: Mon, 12 Sep 1994 03:07:19 GMT References: <1994Sep09.231319.6896@titech.ac.jp> Organization: Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik NNTP-Posting-Host: uni-hamburg.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1994Sep09.231319.6896@titech.ac.jp>, arodriguez@titech.ac.jp (Astrid Rodríguez) writes: > Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive? > However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. Marcus Hale used a Roland MC-4 MicroComposer for CV/gate sync before migrating to custom 68000 MIDI sequencers. -- Tomas Petrov "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
