LinnDrum LM-2 with Tuning Modification

I modified my LinnDrum so all voices could be individually tuned, which was an acknowledged limitation of this Linn model. It's a similar mod that some have done to their TR-707. I think it really expands the sound of the LinnDrum.If you want to do this to your LinnDrum, go to the Yahoo LinnDrum group and go to the files section.

Hi - yikes, that sucks. Hopefully it was working before it got shipped?Anyway, if you have a voltmeter, what I'd do is start checking the voltages on each of the boards to see if they're what they should be (+5V, GND, etc). You can get the service manual from the LinnDrum Yahoo group which should specify the right voltages in various places. You've already checked one ribbon cable, but I'd check and double-check them all, make sure none are flipped. There's more, but I'm out of characters!

Nice video. You seem like you really know what you're doing. Maybe you have a tip?I just got shipped a LinnDrum and it seems to have some how been damaged during its trip. Nothing lit up when I turned it on . Opened it up, one ribbon cable was loose, pushed that back in. Tried replacing the fuse, taking out and replacing the semi-corroded leaky batteries. Still exactly the same. Just the slight vibration I think from a capacitor when I turn it on... Nothing else. Any ideas? Thanks.

Billy Jean did used a drum machine, and it was the Sequential Circuits Drumtraks, which is very similar to the LM 2 - all sampled sounds.

This machine kicks ass! Not used on "billie jean" but many Prince songs from the 80's.
