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

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).
Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.

Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum?

Marcus Hale used a Roland MC-4 MicroComposer for CV/gate sync before migrating to custom 68000 MIDI sequencers.
