However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. 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). Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Andrei Müller Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Stanford University Computer Systems Lab. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tmoreau@berkeley.edu Sun Apr 23 18:25:14 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!berkeley!tmoreau From: tmoreau@berkeley.edu (Tomas Moreau) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Apr23.182514.6959@berkeley.edu> Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 18:25:14 GMT References: <1995Apr21.192514.2993@stanford.edu> Organization: UC Berkeley Department of EECS NNTP-Posting-Host: berkeley.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1995Apr21.192514.2993@stanford.edu>, amuller@stanford.edu (Andrei Müller) writes: > Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive? > However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal.
