Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse. 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? -- Steve Lee | slee@mit.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 219A 1550 042F 8289 "Keep the channels open."

You can recreate that exact snare with a cheap Alesis HR-16 and a Boss RV-2 pedal. Save yourself $1,500. -- Thiago Lee US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 9600 Telebit bps "Row 14. No joke."
