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. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- === Natalia Campbell === Dept of Electrical Engineering, European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
