The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. 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. -- Freya Andersson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of ClariNet Communications Corp. ------------------------------------------------------------ From slaurent@hanse.de Sun Aug 13 02:09:54 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!hanse!slaurent From: slaurent@hanse.de (Sven Laurent) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Observation: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Aug13.020954.5619@hanse.de> Date: Sun, 13 Aug 1995 02:09:54 GMT References: <1995Aug11.062954.2721@clari.net> Organization: Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg NNTP-Posting-Host: hanse.de X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1995Aug11.062954.2721@clari.net>, fandersson@clari.net (Freya Andersson) writes: > Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'. > The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal.
