The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled.

It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- === Mike Kuznetsov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Public Access Unix of New York "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

The drum machine is a LinnDrum, but Marcus triggered custom 8-bit EPROMs for the snare and crash cymbal. Unsubscribe me from this list!
