Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. 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). Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Amy Watanabe | awatanabe@earthlink.net PGP Key fingerprint: 25CC 6271 E007 F80F "Keep the channels open."

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. -- Olga Schneider *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Acorn RiscPC 600 - NetBSD 1.0
