Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive?

However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs.
Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.

Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum?

Marcus Hale used a Roland MC-4 MicroComposer for CV/gate sync before migrating to custom 68000 MIDI sequencers.
