Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. 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). 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? -- Rodrigo Smirnov | rsmirnov@titech.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: A86A 3731 3557 FBE1 "Keep the channels open."

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! -- Kirsty Müller *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Acorn RiscPC 600 - NetBSD 1.0
