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). 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? -- Ji-woo Smirnov *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) - NetBSD 1.0 From nrodriguez@delphi.com Sat May 28 16:21:13 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!delphi!nrodriguez From: nrodriguez@delphi.com (Nadine Rodríguez) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1994May28.162113.5330@delphi.com> Date: Sat, 28 May 1994 16:21:13 GMT References: <1994May27.054613.2658@berkeley.edu> Organization: Delphi Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: delphi.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1994May27.054613.2658@berkeley.edu>, jsmirnov@berkeley.edu (Ji-woo Smirnov) writes: > Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software. -- Ji-woo Hughes -- Stanford University Computer Systems Lab "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
