Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. 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. -- Raj Eriksson SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ ISDN 64k bps "Do not worship the copy."

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
