Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. 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. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- === Tyler Larsson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, MindSpring Enterprises "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. -- Anton Hughes *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Macintosh IIfx - NetBSD 1.0
