Let's talk about the drum production on SYNTHESIS. Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record.

Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.
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.

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

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
