Here, the inventor recalls how his creation pushed Prince, Stevie Wonder and Dr Dre to the top of the charts, but left him at the whim of shady businessmen. Every Monday night, Roger Linn drives from but soon got distracted by the rock’n’roll heard about the invention of computers, a his house in the north Berkley hills down to the revolution. Combining his passion for guitars and development that eventually spurred him on to Caffe Trieste coffee shop to soothe its patrons technology, the 14-year-old Linn took an after- form his own company, Linn Electronics. with mandolin renditions of traditional Neapolitan school job at a guitar shop in Hollywood, where “A friend of mine took me to The Computer songs.

I was convinced that Linn, you see, isn’t only a mandolin virtuoso. “They were happy with the sound but at there was art inside that box and I was the one That’s just his hobby. What he’s really known for that stage, I hadn’t learned how to make things that had to pull it out. It was on that computer is inventing the world’s first programmable, digital reliably,” Linn recalls some 35 years later. “I later that I wrote my first drum machine programme.” drum machine.

It BEATS, TIMES & SPLICE effectively gave the producer the means to make beats, sequence instruments and sample new sounds all in the one machine. “I had noticed that people were starting to sample big chunks of other people’s records,” the inventor says. “I thought it was odd that they were using a machine that should be used for drums and just looping a segment, you know, basically standing on the shoulders of giants. Instead of creating every note they took all these little snippets and arranged them in provocative new ways.” Over the next few years, hip hop artists like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Pharcyde and Gangstarr traded in their SP12s and moved up to the MPC 60 in an attempt to make their music more than just loops. Unfortunately Akai’s sales didn’t immediately reflect this trend, and Akai let Linn go. It was a bad move. As hip hop and dance continued their cultural ascendancy, the MPC lent its distinct human “groove” to more chart hits. Realising that they had made a mistake, Akai persuaded Linn to come back to design a more powerful MPC. In 1994, they launched the MPC 3000, a machine that basically doubled the power of the 60 by adding more memory, sample space and Pushing all the right buttons: Linn with his first MPC in 1987 effects.

  • A Study of Digital Samplers in Two Eras
    On The Significance of Interface Design A Study of Digital Samplers In Two Eras A thesis submitted by Bjørnar Ersland Sandvik In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master’s degree in Musicology Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo November, 2016 Adviser: Ragnhild Brøvig-Hanssen II Acknowledgments The process of completing this thesis would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of people. First of all, I wish to thank my supervisor, Ragnhild Brøvig- Hanssen, for taking a genuine interest in my work, and being so generous with her time, guidance, and support. Her contribution has been absolutely invaluable, and I have appreciated our conversations, her detailed and constructive comments on all of my drafts, and her general encouragement throughout the process. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to present a draft of this thesis at the 10th Art of Record Production conference at Drexel University, Philadelphia in November 2015. I would like to thank the organizers of the conference, as well as the other participants for valuable feedback, inspiring paper presentations, and interesting conversations. A special thanks go to my co-student Emil Kraugerud, for being such a great travelling companion, and also to Associate Professor Hans T. Zeiner-Henriksen for joining us on a memorably day of sightseeing in New York. In addition, I want to thank the rest of my co-students for interesting conversations, important lunch breaks, and not least our short-lived but magnificent weekly ritual of celebrating “kakefredag” (cake Friday) at the university.

The print advertisement for the Side Man showed a quartet featuring an accordionist, guitarist, organist, and an attractive piece of furniture about the size of a hi-fi. Inside its wooden exterior, the Side Man relied on vacuum tubes and a motor driven wheel with electrical contact points to generate its sounds.
