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. -- Brian Petrov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of The Pipeline Internet Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From sfischer@demon.co.uk Sat Jan 06 17:17:19 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!demon!sfischer From: sfischer@demon.co.uk (Steve Fischer) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1996Jan06.171719.1808@demon.co.uk> Date: Sat, 06 Jan 1996 17:17:19 GMT References: <1996Jan05.163019.4907@pipeline.com> Organization: Demon Internet Services UK NNTP-Posting-Host: demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1996Jan05.163019.4907@pipeline.com>, bpetrov@pipeline.com (Brian Petrov) writes: > Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.
