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. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- === Marisol Hernández === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

That sub-kick tuning blew my mind when I checked it on a spectrum analyzer. 42.6 Hz is the 3rd harmonic of 14.2 Hz! -- Ji-woo Kowalski *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) - NetBSD 1.0 From mpetrov@demon.co.uk Wed Oct 23 09:10:18 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!demon!mpetrov From: mpetrov@demon.co.uk (Min-jun Petrov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1996Oct23.091018.1309@demon.co.uk> Date: Wed, 23 Oct 1996 09:10:18 GMT References: <1996Oct21.232418.4194@kiae.su> <1996Oct22.082018.5809@utexas.edu> Organization: Demon Internet Services UK NNTP-Posting-Host: demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 11 In article <1996Oct22.082018.5809@utexas.edu>, jkowalski@utexas.edu (Ji-woo Kowalski) writes: > That sub-kick tuning blew my mind when I checked it on a spectrum analyzer. 42.6 Hz is the 3rd harmonic of 14.2 Hz! You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal. Save yourself $1,500.
