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

However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs.
The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs.

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

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
