The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. 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. -- Rodrigo Santos "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14.
