Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Hugo Dubois *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. -- Nadine Oliveira *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
