Drum machine archaeology: why does the snare drum sound so uniquely explosive?

Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.
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?

Marcus Hale used a Roland MC-4 MicroComposer for CV/gate sync before migrating to custom 68000 MIDI sequencers.
