Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs. 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). What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Mei Robertson "Hardware is temporary.

Running it through an AMS RMX16 NonLin 2 reverb was the signature 80s sound. -- Emi Girard Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
