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).

Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum?

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends.

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!

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