"The classic drum machine and sequencer combo that Roger Linn created. This is the precursor machine to all the famous workstation style rhythm centers like the MPC-60, MPC-3000, SP-1200, and so on. The number of fantastic hit records recorded using this guy as the brain is too numerous to list. Some of the most famous might be "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive or anything recorded by Stock Aitken & Waterman (SAW) in the 1980s.

This particular Linn 9000 has an updated display that is quite visible. It has one of the latest OS versions from Linn, 5.17, and it also has the later power supply which has a cooling fan apparatus to keep the unit from overheating.

It's in good physical condition. The only issues I know of are the disk drive doesn't seem to be working, and the hihat pad used to not work so well. However, I just tried it out and didn't notice any problems. Given an item of this age, I can only offer it as-is, but it's working just fine right now except for the disk drive.

The good news is you can still get FULL SERVICE for Linn 9000s through Forat Electronics. If you're into that 80s sound, this is the drum machine for you no holds barred..."
