Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. 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). Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Valeria Moreno Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Delphi Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From rpopov@utexas.edu Sat Nov 11 07:48:32 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!utexas!rpopov From: rpopov@utexas.edu (Raj Popov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] LinnDrum LM-2 vs TR-808 on Orion's rhythm tracks Message-ID: <1995Nov11.074832.7917@utexas.edu> Date: Sat, 11 Nov 1995 07:48:32 GMT References: <1995Nov09.182532.3666@delphi.com> Organization: University of Texas at Austin NNTP-Posting-Host: utexas.edu X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 11 In article <1995Nov09.182532.3666@delphi.com>, vmoreno@delphi.com (Valeria Moreno) writes: > Let's talk about the drum production on SYNTHESIS.
