Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive?

However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs.
Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.

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

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound.
