LinnDrum Essential 80s Beats part 2 (Korg Electribe) - Harlem Nights

[RipleYYY]

pity you putted the name/title of the songs, its quite easy to find them, as a blindtest ;)

[BillieJean900]

i so want these drums as wav

[MRKraft89]

Great to see someone with the same 80s passion like myself. I just wonder, what's that snare/synth-drum in Princess - Say I'm Your Number One called and which machine does it hails from? I have a real vintage Linndrum LM2 and it doesn't have that sound. I alwas thought it was a simmons synth drum.

check out my art of noise remix :)

[punctuationmarc]

Do you know if a drum machine was used on Careless Whisper, or was that "live played" acoustic drums.

[pblkn]

i've got the old green one. is there any difference on sound quality between mk1 and 2?

can you upload there drum sounds anywhere on the net?

thxxx

[cjfb87]

LOVE THE SOS BAND

[jwesley1879]

@cjfb87 spot on, isn't it--the best one IMO

[TheStudeo74]

i own the LM2, sorry to have you all excited about it ;o)

[TheStudeo74]

"They hated the LM-1 and LM-2" :o) Well...why would they go to the 2 if they hated the first one ? where they that silly ? Anyway i don't really care, it just makes me smile when i look at and use my machine knowing what fingers were on it, i feel the same than when i walk into an old castle !

@TheStudeo74 Again As I said,, I read an article of Keyboard Magazine from 1987. It interviewed J and J and they said that Janet Jackson's "Control". In one they explained that the fingersnap sounds on "Funny How Time Flies" was a gated Linn-9000 sidestick. The sounds on "Control" was duplicated by Babyface on his albums. Oh yeah, he was another heavy user of the Linn-9000 using it from 1986 to 92. He used it in all his albums in that time. It was because of J and J he got the Linn-9000.

[DHTSciFiArtist]

@TheStudeo74 OH and if you do have their Linn-9000 drum machine. I want to see a video of it. I will not change my position until I have seen it. I will against state that I read a keyboard magazine article on it and It was talking about one of their songs. It was Janet Jackson's "Funny How Time Flies". It stated that the finger snap sounds was a Linn-9000 sidestick which was heavily gated. I am going to search the article and show it.

[rdproductions01]

does that ES1mkII have all that sounds by default?

[kingofkeyboards]

your small series of videos is what made me go online and IMMEDIATELY buy one of these KORG ES-1 mk2 samplers. found a whole batch of linn drum samples online. wap em in the machine and now I feel like I'm back in 1985 :D great videos!

[maccagrabme]

The interesting thing is I can name these songs in a second or two as they are so distinctive, how many beats in today's music are instantly recognisable?

[blktenor]

lol @ Princess. Good video.

[dazz396]

where do you get the linn drum sounds? (new to the synth/drum machine game)

[bissia]

Did you use the tribe default sound or did you first load he Linn samples? If so how? Step by step? MIDI dump? I admit I'm curious to get these sounds and some seam to be already in the ES1. THANKS

[VIRGOLEGACY]

i thought some of these songs were actually done with real instruments not just a linnd drum machine

[ballroomblitzkid1994]

I wish I had one of those nifty drum machines.

[HypeRhymz]

you kinda messed up with the hi hats on Prince's kiss. but if that was your creativity talking, I dig it 100 percent. very nice song choices by the way :)

[heroknaderi]

jan hammer

[simonphilipsmusic]

@heroknaderi didnt Jan Hammer use a kawai r100 for crocketts theme?

[Mattyuk1]

I'm loving this. 10/10

[dudo101]

nice but the Sounds from Tears for Fears "Shout" actually came from a E-Mu SP 12 ;)

[endlandmusic]

the drums from the early albums, produced by jam & lewis are from a linn 9000 ( bd & sd heavy compressed with short gated reverb ) and a tr-808 for the percussions etc.

[harlemnightsmusic]

It was an alternate snare EPROM for the LinnDrum, you can find the sample at electrongate

[DHTSciFiArtist]

@harlemnightsmusic

Uh Uh, Janet Jackson's entire second album "Control" was done in all Linn-9000. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis used the Linn-9000 in all their songs from 1985 to 1991. The used the Linn-9000 in the SOS band song "The Finest" , in Alexander O'neal's second album in songs like "Never Knew Love Like This". and "Sunshine"

[TheStudeo74]

@DHTSciFiArtist

I own Terry Lewis & Jimmy Jam's LinnDrum !

Modified with the Forat Midi interface + very distinctive eproms

Sorry couldn't hold...

[DHTSciFiArtist]

@TheStudeo74 you might own one of the few they used but I read part of a keyboard magazine that stated that Control was primarily Linn-9000. They hated the LM-1 and LM-2 very much and switched to the DMX until Control was being made and they used the Linn-9000. The Linn-9000 was also heavily used in most of their productions up until 91 or 92.. They switched to MPC-60 around 90 or so.

[pmsan29]

You are the man.

I wouldnt mind having and MK2 either.

[TR0jAX]

Would you say it were exact the same quality, or maybe better when you upload those samples to your ESX ?

[harlemnightsmusic]

Hi Siegfried,the ESX sounds rounder, fuller, but the ES1 has that lo-fi 'punch' that imo does match the Linndrum better. Also the fx are different on each machine

[TR0jAX]

thanks for that useful info, but dont call me Siegfried its not my real name :)

[Analkalle]

awsm

[TR0jAX]

Very nice 5 Stars again, what a pity you dont want to share the samples :(

[harlemnightsmusic]

Not yet, sorry.. But there are good ones readily avaible if you google around :-)

Thx

[TR0jAX]

Is there a reason why you will not share ? Anyway, on Monday I will have a real LinnDrum ! :)

[nvanzoeren]

Great job on programming!!
