Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. 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). The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Katrin Andersson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Bruno Kim Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Demon Internet Services UK. ------------------------------------------------------------ From lgarcia@ox.ac.uk Thu Nov 16 16:38:05 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!ox!lgarcia From: lgarcia@ox.ac.uk (Lisa García) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Nov16.163805.4374@ox.ac.uk> Date: Thu, 16 Nov 1995 16:38:05 GMT References: <1995Nov13.053505.5138@mit.edu> Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: ox.ac.uk X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1995Nov13.053505.5138@mit.edu>, kandersson@mit.edu (Katrin Andersson) 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.
