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). 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? -- === Aiko Fischer === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University Computer Systems Lab "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

That sub-kick tuning blew my mind when I checked it on a spectrum analyzer. 42.6 Hz is the 3rd harmonic of 14.2 Hz! My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.

The LinnDrum snare has that classic punch. Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Lucia Popov | lpopov@delphi.com PGP Key fingerprint: EFFA 2C3E 3E26 EFCD "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.
