Fifteen 8-bit acoustic drum samples (at a then hi-fi 35kHz), up to 12 playing at once, each with its own tuning, pan and level slider, plus accent. The sequencer was ahead of its time: swing, quantize, real or step entry, 56 user patterns, 42 presets, 49 songs. Swappable sound EPROMs let you drop in alternate kits. Fifteen individual outputs feed it straight into a desk. A genuine slice of music history that still grooves like nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe 80s Sound:\u003c\/strong\u003e The sampled kick, snare and hats heard across an era of hit records.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 Sampled Voices:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real acoustic drums at 35kHz, up to 12 sounding simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer-Voice Mixer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dedicated tune, pan and level for every drum, with accents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClever Sequencer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swing, quantize, real\/step entry, 56 user and 42 preset patterns, 49 songs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwappable EPROMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop in alternate Linn (or 808\/909-style) sound chips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 Individual Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Send every drum to its own channel at the desk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAS USED BY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrince, \"I Would Die 4 U\" and other Purple Rain-era tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea-ha, \"Take On Me\" (widely credited to the LinnDrum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaft Punk, \"One More Time\", for its crunchy LinnDrum hi-hats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fixture of 80s pop, R\u0026amp;B and new-wave production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: its close sibling, the earlier Linn LM-1, is the machine behind The Human League's \"Don't You Want Me\", Michael Jackson's \"Thriller\" and Prince's \"1999\".\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Widely credited as the drum machine that revolutionised 80s pop and R\u0026amp;B production, the LinnDrum's sampled kit is woven through the decade's biggest records. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reverb.com\/p\/linn-linndrum-lm2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead more at Reverb.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e LinnDrum (Linn Electronics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982 to 1985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roger Linn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e sample-based drum machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 8-bit samples at 28 to 35kHz (bass, snare, rimshot, hats, crash, ride, 3 toms, cabasa, tambourine, hi\/lo congas, cowbell, clap)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolyphony:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 12 simultaneous voices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatterns:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56 user, 42 preset, 49 songs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSequencing:\u003c\/strong\u003e swing, quantize, real\/step time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 individual plus mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSync:\u003c\/strong\u003e DIN sync (pre-MIDI), 5 trigger inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Linn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49720804540655,"sku":null,"price":85500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/linndrum-1.jpg?v=1781117565","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/linndrum-the-drum-machine-that-defined-the-1980s","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
