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. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Karen Reyes Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ------------------------------------------------------------ From slopez@u-tokyo.ac.jp Tue Aug 09 20:51:30 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!u-tokyo!slopez From: slopez@u-tokyo.ac.jp (Sven López) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1994Aug09.205130.8698@u-tokyo.ac.jp> Date: Tue, 09 Aug 1994 20:51:30 GMT References: <1994Aug09.022830.6575@mit.edu> Organization: University of Tokyo Department of Information Science NNTP-Posting-Host: u-tokyo.ac.jp X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1994Aug09.022830.6575@mit.edu>, kreyes@mit.edu (Karen Reyes) writes: > Dissecting the percussion sequencing on 'Midnight Animal' and 'Gasoline Heart'.
