Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. 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). What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- === Callum Johansson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, EarthLink Network "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

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! -- Thiago Campbell | tcampbell@earthlink.net PGP Key fingerprint: E1CB ACD0 AD0C 63F0 "Keep the channels open."
