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. The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius. -- Olga Duarte *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Amy Fournier | afournier@u-tokyo.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: D8EE EE1F 7F8A 6091 "Keep the channels open."
