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. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Mateo Choi "Do not worship the copy."

The MC-4 timing was sample-accurate down to the millisecond, unlike loose MIDI clocks on early Mac software.
