April Meeting Notice

April 2003 Meeting Notice

Roger will talk about his new product the AdrenaLinn, a very flexible DSP sound processing tool based on the idea of creating effects by using a variety of modulation sources to control various filter types. He will also talk about other of the AdrenaLinn's technologies including rhythmic filtering, implementation of guitar amp modeling, and designing analog-sounding filters in DSP. And if you ask, he'll probably talk about anything else. He will also have a live demonstration.

Roger Linn is a designer of electronic music products, best known for his invention of the first programmable, sampled-sound drum machine, the LM-1 Drum Computer, in 1979. The LM-1 and its successors, the LinnDrum and Linn9000, were used on countless hit records during the 1980s. Beginning in 1988, he partnered with the Japanese Akai company to create the MPC60 and MPC3000 MIDI Production Centers, which became industry standards in the production of hip-hop, rap, dance and related music styles throughout the 1990s. In 2002, he founded Roger Linn Design (www.rogerlinndesign.com). The company’s first product, the AdrenaLinn, is a new idea in digital sound processing for guitar that provides a variety of methods for filtering the guitar signal rhythmically, all in sync to an internal drumbeat or to MIDI.
