Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. 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). Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Kirsty Lindqvist Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal. Save yourself $1,500.

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. -- Fiona Stewart | fstewart@kiae.su PGP Key fingerprint: 6D7B FF6F 4B9E E6CB "Keep the channels open."

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Bruno MacDonald "Row 14. No joke."
