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). However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Morag Ramírez | mramirez@kth.se PGP Key fingerprint: 1AD6 8551 5F67 4668 "Keep the channels open."

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. -- Liam López | llopez@cam.ac.uk PGP Key fingerprint: 1ABE EB60 E35E 1863 "Keep the channels open."
