Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.

However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs.
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).

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

That sub-kick tuning blew my mind when I checked it on a spectrum analyzer. 42.6 Hz is the 3rd harmonic of 14.2 Hz!

You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal. Save yourself $1,500.
