Great piece of gear. Unfortunately, it formed the basis of every god-awful Stock/Aitken/Waterman record of the late 80's - Kylie, Sinitta, Rick Astley, Sonia, etc.
A question, was this the drum machine used by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in Janet Jackson's "Control" Album. I am currently in an argument with someone who claims that it was an LM-2. I read Keyboard Magazine that states that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis used this one.
@reggiebrown37 do you have any citations on this? I just want t prove someone that Control wasn't an LM-2 but a Linn-9000. I believe you, I just want hard copy proof.
@DHTSciFiArtist Yes. The article from Keyboard magazine is real. You can go to Forat's site and you'll see the interview with Steve Hodge who was the engineer at the time.
by the way, on the yahoo linndrum group a dude published a command line based program to work and convert the sounds for the linn9000, floppy disk work, formatting . . . cheeers !
Great piece of gear. When it was introduced i watched a demonstration (i think by Roger Linn himself, but i'm not sure) showing the great versatility of real time recording variable hihat decay times, and i was hooked. But it was too expensive for me to buy it at that time.... those were the days ...

Good machine But a YAMAHA RX5 will do it all even better at a fraction of the price seond hand.

@fender1000100 No it won't. There is no sequencer on the RX5, it is doesn't have pressure sensitive pads or sampling.

@DHTSciFiArtist This is the machine. They used this on majority of their projects in the late 80's.

Linn 9000 can sound like a LM1 or LM 2, as there are disks containing those samples for the 9000.
I Have these disk with my Linn 9000, and i'll post a video of that soon.
