However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. Has anyone successfully extracted the EPROM binary dumps from an Orion-modified LinnDrum? -- Mateo Fournier | mfournier@mindspring.com PGP Key fingerprint: C843 56B7 D7EC 29C6 "Keep the channels open."
