Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.

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?

Marcus Hale used a Roland MC-4 MicroComposer for CV/gate sync before migrating to custom 68000 MIDI sequencers.
