- At GearFest '15, synthesizer pioneer Roger Linn sat down with Mitch Gallagher to talk music and electronic instruments. Technical Grammy award-winner Roger Linn invented the LM-1 Drum Computer (the first sample-based drum machine) in 1979. He later designed the Akai MPC60, which combined a sampling drum machine with a real-time MIDI sequencer. His guitar effects unit, AdrenaLinn, has been used on hit recordings by John Mayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2014 he released the LinnStrument, an expressive MIDI performance controller.

I love this guy he made music easy for me to understand I wonder what else he has in store with that incredible mind
The Akai MPC 60 is one the most ergonomically friendly sampling workstations, if you have enough room for one.
This man is a human treasure. Thank you, Roger Linn.
being a roger linn fan is a given, im a fan of mitch as well, he conducts the interviews so wel
i like that he thinks of instrument design
with a musician mind
Me too!
does this guy even know how much he changed the world ????does anybody know????
Thanks Mitch and thank you for everything Roger!
This guy is my hero. Well him and Dave
Great job interviewing as always Mitch! It was also nice to see Nick Shenckel being shown the Linnstrument. I seriously want one, my wife won't let me have anymore keyboards, and this is a game changer
You sir are a legend.
WOW. 2 absolute Legends.
Amazing mind, thank you Roger Lynn. Thank you Mitch and Sweetwater!
Honestly its because of prince that the linn lm 1 became popular
awesome stuff
Roger Linn's story was included twice in Mark Vail's book, Vintage Synthesizers (2000). I've read it numerous times, but it's definitely cool to hear him talk about it in real time.
Funny enough, but what he says about guys like Brian Eno wanting to upload their own sounds when the LM-1 was being made would come to pass in the aftermath of Linn Electronics folding, when E-Mu came out with the SP-12. Of course, E-Mu wouldn't have created the SP-12 if Roger hadn't designed the LM-1 and Oberheim Electronics hadn't come out with the DMX (which does at least include interchangeable sample chips). There was only a short timespan between technological advancements.
What he says here about the compelling instrumental voice being missing from mainstream pop music is increasingly true. This is from June 2015, and my comment is posted on the second day of 2018.
Great interview!
Thanks for watching, discotechwreck!
I remember Roger linn. He left a lot of people high and dry when he filled bankruptcy after a lot of us purchased his Linn 9000.
On the other hand, if more people had bought the Linn 9000, it might have been the Roger Linn MPC instead of the Akai MPC !
@@davidespinosa1910 its the roger linn mpc, he made the 60 & the 3000. the only one that were beast.
Well, I think you can pretty well guess he didn't WANT to file for bankruptcy.
The Legend himself
Nice guy!
Yep, he's a certified sweetheart.
Zawinul played very realistic strings on his Prophet 5.
Major to say the least!
Did I miss it, or was NOTHING said about Prince...who made this drum machine his bitch?
👍👍
Roger Linn and Dave Rossum, two white guys who influenced the history of hip-hop.
the roli has a step up on the linnstrument
Essentially identical op but one is physically more like a keyboard and the other more like a fretboard.
roli is stuck in the past and your slides/bends only work in coarse quarter tones vs fluid, seamless pitch movement. look into the xenharmonic world, and realize that the 12 tone piano layout will soon become defunct and outdated.
does anyone else notice how listening to roger linn works as a sleep aid, similar to bob ross.
If you close your eyes and listen to him, especially certain words and phrases sound very much like actor Jeff Goldblum!
