"Showing off the legendary Linn 9000 currently for sale and showing the not much discussed sequencer side of it which is incredible. Listen to that lively timing! This was what eventually led to the MPC. This has the 6.62 Forat OS which gives you an additional 60K for sampling from the floppy."

"This one is packed with lot's of amazing features. It has the FORAT 6.62 OS which allows this machine to load samples into memory and FIXES ALL THE BUGS normally associated with the Linn 9000. It's been furnished with brand new batteries and all of the pads work completely. They are quick to trigger and feel incredible. This is what an MPC should feel like. This unit has the trigger inputs and also the SMPTE card but it does NOT have the sampling A/D card HOWEVER you can load samples via floppy or burn EEPROMS. Contact bruce Forat and he can make you a custom Linn LM 1 set.

The kick drum is also not the standard Linn 9000 kick but is instead Kick 7 which is the superior kick that was put in after the machine had been on the market and people complained about the lackluster factory kick.

Also, because this is the Forat OS, the sequencer is GREATLY expanded and is basically what the MPC sequencer should have been with better timing and FEEL than anything else out there. The sequencer includes comprehensive sequencing over 16 channels, step edit mode or live record, and a comprehensive song mode. MIDI SEQUENCES CAN BE DIFFERENT LENGTHS THAN DRUM SEQUENCES! What this means is that you could come up with a drum groove and play a melodic arrangement that is of a different bar count than your drums!"
