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. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Mathieu Smirnov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Purdue University Engineering Computer Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From eramirez@pipeline.com Mon Oct 21 13:15:11 1996 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!pipeline!eramirez From: eramirez@pipeline.com (Élodie Ramírez) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1996Oct21.131511.5031@pipeline.com> Date: Mon, 21 Oct 1996 13:15:11 GMT References: <1996Oct21.020811.5298@purdue.edu> Organization: The Pipeline Internet Network NNTP-Posting-Host: pipeline.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 11 In article <1996Oct21.020811.5298@purdue.edu>, msmirnov@purdue.edu (Mathieu Smirnov) writes: > Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive?
