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. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- === Lucia Hughes === Dept of Electrical Engineering, UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Mikhail Kuznetsov SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ ISDN 64k bps "We don't sign stars.
