Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Hana Andersson | handersson@ox.ac.uk PGP Key fingerprint: 4BFA CB66 7598 E37D "Keep the channels open."

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. -- Emi Dubois *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Pentium 90 (OS/2 Warp) - NetBSD 1.0
