Vintage Linn LM-1 Drum Computer made famous by Prince, Human League, etc

We buy, sell & trade vintage analog synthesizers, but you probably knew that already. Here's an improvised performance on an original Linn Drum Computer LM-1 we recently sold to a well known musician. The cover's off as I was doing a final inspection and test before shipping it out. These Linn sounds were all over 80s synth records, especially Prince and Human League albums. We've got another LM-1 in stock that we will probably put on the market soon. If you look closely, you'll see a vintage Emu modular synth in the background. We love our modular synths. Enjoy, and email us anytime at minime123@onebox.com

I've seen several people use gloves when working with vintage stuff. is that to protect the instrument?

@madefortv2 the others are just imitators.

This is awesome! I grew up listening to my dad's records of stuff like this. Now I'm nearly 31 and I still love it. Can you do Tony Banks' "Mama" drum pattern from the Genesis album?

[123synthland]

WOW..just think about it...just about every track on the 1999 album has this sound and just about every song on Purple Rain as well. Unbelievable.

First few minutes remind me of Vanity 6's "Nasty Girl".
