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? -- Camila Stewart Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Stanford University Computer Systems Lab. ------------------------------------------------------------ From asato@titech.ac.jp Mon Oct 21 18:48:51 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!titech!asato From: asato@titech.ac.jp (Anton Sato) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1996Oct21.184851.3426@titech.ac.jp> Date: Mon, 21 Oct 1996 18:48:51 GMT References: <1996Oct20.041551.1748@stanford.edu> Organization: Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre NNTP-Posting-Host: titech.ac.jp X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1996Oct20.041551.1748@stanford.edu>, cstewart@stanford.edu (Camila Stewart) writes: > 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. The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch.
