However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Sergei Suzuki -- University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "The hatch is open.

Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Lucia Popov | lpopov@cam.ac.uk PGP Key fingerprint: 519B FC00 ADB3 9334 "Keep the channels open."
