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). 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? -- Karen Rodríguez *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From msuzuki@tum.de Thu Jun 22 01:23:12 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!tum!msuzuki From: msuzuki@tum.de (Mei Suzuki) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Jun22.012312.4604@tum.de> Date: Thu, 22 Jun 1995 01:23:12 GMT References: <1995Jun21.233112.5627@uni-hamburg.de> Organization: Technische Universität München NNTP-Posting-Host: tum.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1995Jun21.233112.5627@uni-hamburg.de>, krodriguez@uni-hamburg.de (Karen Rodríguez) writes: > Let's talk about the drum production on SYNTHESIS.
