I wanted to say you’re getting in to Prince territory and you said it at that moment. Pretty funny that musicians ear saves all the sound in the synth brain. Good demo
I love this. Linn sounds coming out of a DX. It's just so... Novel. I'd love to have this as a sample set, or if I repair my DX then make it myself to share. It's just the kind of thing nerdy electronic musicians would love. If I get to that point I may also do it with my Wendel samples from SamplesFromMars. Why not? I love this kind of weird obscure music tech stuff.
I have a full sample set of this and more here audiodesire.com/ and if you do get around to repairing the DX check out my other video which will show you how to burn the eproms ruclips.net/video/isg79kopf9c/видео.html
Listening to this demo, I wonder if Yamaha took those same Oberheim EPROMs in the RX5 and its successors. I’ve created custom kits on my DTX Multi 12 with those RX tones (which I think Yamaha’s people uploaded directly from their own sound library), and the sounds are synonymous with those from the Oberheim chips.
Never had a Linndrum myself so can't comment on the actual differences in sound between the two! The Linndrum has more channels (simultaneous sounds) so I reckon it wins just from that alone. The DX has 8K roms for most sounds whereas the Linndrum has only 4K for quite a few. DX has pitch control on all the channels (Linndrum only has pitch on some). So the DX does have a few advantages if you're looking at either of those aspects.
On the prince sounding patterns, how did u get the hats and toms to quadruple is that in accord to a double time bpm n 16quantise or is it like 94 timing and a normal bpm
I normally make the beat with quantise set to 1-16 then I set the quantise to 1-32 to play in those quick rolls on the instrument buttons. You don't have to be very accurate as the quantise will correct it and if you miss one you can do it again after it loops around.
the kick was the same and the cymbal was the same in later DMX models - at least that's what I can tell by looking here www.electrongate.com/dmxfiles/eproms.html You can also put any sound from the DMX in the DX
It's not that hard - I have a video tutorial here that takes you through the process ruclips.net/video/isg79kopf9c/видео.html Linndrum uses 4kb 2732 chips I think (have a look at the writing on the chips in the machine to see what they are) so you'll probably be editing sounds to be 4096 bytes. Have fun!
It's a Robin Whittle job from the 90's that was in it when I got it (I'm in Australia). I have the manual scanned here drive.google.com/file/d/1TUMkqqKrxhy-C-W8_A-PFyoQwhhqiUxN/view?usp=sharing He's still around - site is www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/ Let me know if you want some detailed photos
@@juztinmullinz thanks for the info. The MIDI implementation looks extensive. I don't need more photos, but am curious about the operating system EPROMs. Are they both 2764 types?
Hey! Please tell me as a beginner songwriter. I don't know much about this and wanted to ask. What are the reasons (besides collecting) why people take old drum machines if there are vst counterparts like the Audiolounge AL D1 AU or there is a big difference in sound. I really like the sound of old drum machines, but my wallet says it doesn't see the difference :) (Google Translate)
I don't think there's a big difference in sound - you can use samples or apparently this is pretty good www.alyjameslab.com/alyjameslabvlinn.html I think using a computer and vst's is quicker and gets more polished results for most music but I use hardware because I just don't enjoy working on the computer. I also enjoy tinkering and fixing up machines (including computers).
@@juztinmullinz thanks, you dispelled my doubts about the sound. If not everything is so simple with analog vintage synthesizers, then drum machines can be safely replaced with samples.
There are plenty of great sounding analog synth vst's as well these days - but again I'm just not a big fan of programming synths on the computer. The sounds can be great either way so use whatever inspires you and what you have available.
Why drive a classic car (pricey, hard to source parts for, a lot of work to maintain) when there are great modern cars to choose from? More emotion than reason! 😉
I used to have both Oberhiem dx and linndrum. Nowadays they cost of lot of money on the second hand market. You can easily get good enough samples on new machines like mpc’s & vst’s.

Great programming!!
That's a great sample pack thank you
wonderful machines
Scrittie Politti!
Yes. Very groovy 😌
Getting System vibes from this
1:40 I can hear you are my system by the System 1983
Will you can add some mini moog bass like david frank
profound rythm programming

greetings anyway to get a tutorial on how you made the chips? been curious to try this out since i cant find a damn prommer! respect!
Yeah next time I am making some I'll record it
@@juztinmullinz you are the man!

Is this better than the linn drum machine

No way

@@juztinmullinz Amazinnnnn I’m making payments on one now it will be mine by December
I just need the lm1 kit or the usb thing you have and roms
@@Uncannycannyp I have a how-to up here now - ruclips.net/video/isg79kopf9c/видео.html
When he pitch his drum sounds from linn drums for his other projects he put a reverbs on his production
I have an Oberheim DX, the sequenzer does not work. Who can repair it????
LM-1 and LinnDrum?they diffirent?tell me something thanks!
Yeah LM-1 was the first Linn drum machine in 1980 and then a couple of years later the LinnDrum came out
@@juztinmullinz thanks!!!!
What is the difference in sounds between the DX and DMX. Does the dx have any of the exact same sounds as the dmx?
the kick was the same and the cymbal was the same in later DMX models - at least that's what I can tell by looking here www.electrongate.com/dmxfiles/eproms.html
You can also put any sound from the DMX in the DX
How long did it take to learn how to burn eproms? I have a linndrum and would love to start burning my own chips.
It's not that hard - I have a video tutorial here that takes you through the process

I’m interested in the MIDI interface in your DX. Is that something you designed yourself, or is it commercially available?
It's a Robin Whittle job from the 90's that was in it when I got it (I'm in Australia). I have the manual scanned here drive.google.com/file/d/1TUMkqqKrxhy-C-W8_A-PFyoQwhhqiUxN/view?usp=sharing

@@pjwhite42 yeah they are both 2764 and labelled DX13MA2 and DX13MB2 (with date 27-5-87)
There are DIY MIDI kits available. LookMumNoComputer installed one in his DX.

Can I buy lm1 chips from you, A prince nerd but I like the price of the dx better, making payments on one now
Those old drum machine cost alot of money but i get a sample from akai mpc
