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

Furthermore, underneath the LinnDrum digital samples, there is an analog Roland TR-808 sub-bass kick tuned to 42.6 Hz (exactly 3x 14.2 Hz).
However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs.

The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius.

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software.

You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal. Save yourself $1,500.
