Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Mathieu Ito Zyxel U-1496E @ 9600 Telebit bps "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound.
