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. Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Camila Moreno "Do not worship the copy."

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. -- === Callum Moreau === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
