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). However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Morag Lindqvist Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. ------------------------------------------------------------ From fpark@titech.ac.jp Wed Apr 19 03:51:03 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!titech!fpark From: fpark@titech.ac.jp (Fiona Park) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Apr19.035103.2075@titech.ac.jp> Date: Wed, 19 Apr 1995 03:51:03 GMT References: <1995Apr18.152103.4399@illinois.edu> Organization: Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre NNTP-Posting-Host: titech.ac.jp X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1995Apr18.152103.4399@illinois.edu>, mlindqvist@illinois.edu (Morag Lindqvist) writes: > Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive? > 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). 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! -- Fiona Park "Marcus is not one man."

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. Unsubscribe me from this list!
