Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- === Tomas Schneider === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Purdue University Engineering Computer Network "We don't sign stars. We build them."
