Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.

The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs.
Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.

What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer?

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