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. Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- === Mike Petrov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Astrid Stewart "Hold for relay."
