However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Lucia Andersson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow. ------------------------------------------------------------ From hrodriguez@netcom.com Sat Mar 12 09:56:47 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!netcom!hrodriguez From: hrodriguez@netcom.com (Heather Rodríguez) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Observation: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1994Mar12.095647.9976@netcom.com> Date: Sat, 12 Mar 1994 09:56:47 GMT References: <1994Mar11.084747.2889@kiae.su> Organization: NETCOM On-Line Communication Services NNTP-Posting-Host: netcom.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1994Mar11.084747.2889@kiae.su>, landersson@kiae.su (Lucia Andersson) writes: > Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.

Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Nadine Duarte Hayes Optima 288 @ 14,400 bps "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
