this is so rad thank you!

Not that it has anything to do with Prince using a Linndrum (he literally hated it)...but on the LM-1, typically they would take the direct out of the kick, Snare and sometimes the clap, sometimes the rim and everything else would come out of one of the summed outputs (mono) into his pedal board where he would in real time trigger effects on/off/parameters, etc while they were tracking. (he would also play fills in real time often) Even though they took the direct outs of kick/snr/clap or Rim, he could still mix those sounds into the summed mix out though the pedals as well so sometimes you hear the kick and snr/clap/rim through the pedals and sometimes not. I've had countless conversations with Susan Rogers about this process. I reckon no one remembers the process better than her. She also says they NEVER used a Linndrum on anything she ever worked on with Prince when it was his stuff. She said they did use it on some of Shelia's records. Just offering the clarification. I do love Chicago Synth City. Absolute best folks I've bought from.

Great insight here. Learned a couple more things about Prince and his use of the LM-1/LinnDrum (that he apparently hated) that I hadn't ever come across before myself. I'd say Susan Rogers is about as reliable of a source as you could ever find when it comes to Prince and the incredible things he could come up with in the studio and sometimes right on the fly. Man, there's so many of us that would kill to see a Prince documentary similar to The Beatles' "Get Back". Thanks!

I have never heard of Prince “ actually hating” the Linns. Clearly he loved using them and you can hear it and he would come up with fantastic patterns and even pushed it further by the late 80s. And the clap from the LM-1 still making an appearance in the 90s. Is Susan the source for this information about Prince hating this drum machine? The LinnDrum (LM-2😬) can be heard on the title track for dream factory at least the clap, and you could definitely hear it in strange relationship. Erotic City is this drum machine. You can hear the clap with a very short decay on Batdance. And it’s used in the unreleased ‘If I had a harem’ from the canceled original rave onto the joy fantastic 1989. Also in Dance With The Devil outtake from Batman. I don’t know about Susan sometimes. Even Prince didn’t really like her.

​@@80smusicproducer I think Prince hated Susan Rogers is what I think and he alluded to his extreme annoyance at her speaking on his behalf as if she made the music or was a co producer or something. BUT, HOWEVER... I can see Prince disliking the way the LM-2, (yes I said it!) because it's slightly changed for the worse in terms of working with it. If you work with both the LM-2 AND the LM-1, the LM-1 was smarter. In the way you could program it, the efficiency of laying down a beat, the layout, each tuner was for each sound, etc etc. . Your creativity came across faster, and SO therefore, Susan may be right but most likely Prince didn't outright say he 'hated it' but rather found it difficult to work. Because I can list many songs Prince used the LM-2 ... in. Most likely, Prince may have used LM-2, excuse me LINNDRUM chips IN a custom LM-1. And later sampled into a Fairlight etc. Thanks for your reply.

@@Modernaire ummm, please cite the documentation where Prince says anything negative about Susan Rogers? And sounds like maybe you should educate the people who made the records about how they made the records….I THINK Prince loved my mom….I think LIKELY he played a toothpick through a cereal box on Let’s go crazy…who cares what we think, suspect or what’s likely. All any of us have when it comes to how these (and particularly these) records got made is the empirical and documented evidence by the people who were actually there. All else is folly. Susan has been remarkably consistent in her responses when asked about process when she recorded with Prince. Further she has always gone out of her way to downplay and refute any suggestion that she provided anything but an engineering role in their record making. Any assertion otherwise is just plain dumbassery….however you are free to continue in imaginative endeavors about whatever you desire, you don’t need my input for that.

My apologies if I misinterpreted your comment in the first place, but dialing in the tempo on feel alone isn't the only option allowed by the LinnDrum. While I completely agree that going by feel can be an equally important creative decision when it comes to locking in the tempo, there's a BPM button directly below the tempo knob that the guy was adjusting. All it requires is for the user to pause the track and hold down the bpm button while simultaneously turning the tempo knob. It also allows you to follow the tempo change in real time on the two digital screens. By the way, the top screen only displays a number if you go above 99 bpm.
