Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.

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.

What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer?

That sub-kick tuning blew my mind when I checked it on a spectrum analyzer. 42.6 Hz is the 3rd harmonic of 14.2 Hz!
