wasn’t uncommon to send each drum sounds to fx units or guitar pedals. The usage of algorithmic
gated reverbs of that era was also part of the sound (think AMS RMX16 or Eventide harmonizer).
Most of the rare LM-1 machines were usually modified to suit the artist needs, increasing pitch
range, adding external triggers & changing stock EPROMS samples wasn’t uncommon. Still, the
characteristic stock sounds of the Bass, Snare, Claps, Rim shot and Hihat were always present.
The coolest thing was that each and every sounds of the LM-1 were tunable and as they were stored
in EPROMS chips, they can be replaced by other EPROMS with different or custom made samples.
The Linn LM-1 was controlled by a Z80 processor and featured a built in sequencer. An urban legend
goes on for a long time about the LM-1 having a special groove and even a kind of secret
randomization built in…This is plain false, as Roger Linn himself have recently stated and debunk the
myth, the LM-1 groove only comes from the low resolution of its sequencer, which is, 48 PPQN (see
LM-1 Sequencer section)
This emulation is based on reverse engineering and old datasheets; it uses a C++ custom core with
modeled AM6070 DAC, Oscillators, counters, OPAMPS & Filters.
The product has been assembled through the SYNTHEDIT framework using the very last version,
Mostly custom C++ coding and some third party licensed code where nothing fancy were needed. It
will be ported to OSX at some point in the future.

Thanks to all the nice people that started to use VLINN and support my projects and to proud
owners of original Linn LM-1 Units who have sent me some recordings to make tests.
A special thanks to Roger Linn (LM-1 Creator) & Paul J Whites (Electrongate.com).
