The LinnDrum Midistudio (also known as the Midistudio) is an electronic musical instrument designed, but never produced, by Linn Electronics to be the successor to the ill fated Linn 9000: an integrated digital sampling drum machine and MIDI sequencer. The Midistudio is essentially a rack mount version of the Linn 9000 with some improvements. It was debuted at the 1986 Winter NAMM Show in January for a list price of $5,990.〔 It never went into production because Linn Electronics went out of business in February 1986. Apparently, one prototype is in existence and was placed up for auction in 2008. * (For Sale: Roger Linn's original prototype MPC from 1986 ) * (Auction on VEMIA listing the Linn MidiStudio - Auction details... Published on : 12/04/2008 - Here's the one and only prototype of Roger Linn's Midistudio... ) ==History== The LinnDrum Midistudio and the LinnSequencer used the same flawed operating system used in the ill fated Linn 9000, released in 1984. Chronic software bugs〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Polynominal )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Total Trash. The Linn 9000 Home Page )〕 led to a reputation for unreliability and contributed to the eventual demise of Linn Electronics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Polynominal )〕 The similarities between the LinnDrum Midistudio and the Akai MPC series, starting with the Akai MPC60, leads many to perceive a family resemblance. From a strictly chronological standpoint, the LinnDrum Midistudio did come after the Linn 9000 and before the Akai MPC60 and might well be called a step in the evolution of the Music Production Centers of today. At the time of writing (2015), many products, mostly software, bear the name "Midistudio". But in 1986, the LinnDrum Midistudio was, perhaps, one of the very first to brandish that moniker. 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 Midistudio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
