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? -- Mei Stewart Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
