The LinnDrum (also called the Linn LM-2) is a drum machine manufactured by Linn Electronics as the successor to the Linn LM-1. It was introduced in 1982 at a list price of $2,995. Approximately 5,000 units were sold between 1982 and 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Linn Electronics LinnDrum at Vintage Synth Explorer )〕 The Linn 9000 was the successor of the LinnDrum. Its high-quality samples, flexibility and affordability made the LinnDrum popular; it sold far more units than its predecessor (the LM-1) and its successor (the Linn 9000) combined.〔 Roger Linn re-used the moniker on the LinnDrum Midistudio and the Roger Linn Designs' LinnDrum II. The LinnDrum was used on countless recordings throughout the 1980s, including international hits such as a-Ha's "Take on Me" and Tears for Fears' "Shout." When Linn Electronics closed in 1986, Forat Electronics purchased their remaining assets〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Forat Electronics - History )〕 and offered service, sounds and modifications for the LinnDrum. The LinnDrum was pre MIDI, but Retrofit Kits were offered by JL Cooper〔>〕 and Forat Electronics.〔 ==Features== The LinnDrum has fifteen 8 bit 28 kHz ~ 35 kHz digitally sampled drum sounds: bass, snare, rimshot, hihat, crash, ride, three toms, cabasa, tambourine, high and low congas, cowbell, and clap. Like the LM-1, it provided a sequencer for programming rhythm patterns, a built-in mixer and individual output jacks for each sound. The LinnDrum improved on the LM-1 in many ways including: the addition of crash and ride cymbal samples, five external trigger inputs and the ability to replace built-in sounds with new sounds on EPROM chips. The LinnDrum sampled sounds from 28 to a 35 kHz sample rate. Also, the LinnDrum was $2,000 less than the LM-1. One drawback: on the LinnDrum only the snare, tom and conga samples can be tuned, whereas the LM-1 allows every sound to be individually tuned. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LinnDrum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
