However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. 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? -- Morag Sato *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
