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! -- === Lars Martínez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Public Access Unix of New York "We don't sign stars.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Graham Johansson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
