Testing out a brand new prototype of a major upgrade I designed for the super rare 1979 Linn LM-1 Drum Machine which implements a separate MIDI velocity controlled analog VCA on each of the 12 drum channels thus giving this pioneering beast the dynamic control it never had.

The upgrade also has a gating mode allowing MIDI note-offs to cut drum samples short - great for those moments of particularly intricate programming.

Only around 500 Linn LM-1s were manufactured but it was to become the first model of a line of some of the most influencial sampled drum machines ever made including LinnDrum which found its way onto countless best selling albums of the 80s.

You can call me Arlo.

I make music about the talking trains with faces.

Give me a follow if you want. I don't mind

We have squandered our inheritance in a world filled with unrestrained sin, departing from the Lord. This world hates us, yet we have loved it more than the Lord, even more than ourselves. Therefore, the Lord has sought to communicate with us through the prophets and in every way, calling you across the ages.
How long will you ignore that call?
God's wrath has already come and will quickly engulf the whole world.

Call upon the name of the Lord, our Savior, even now. Forsake this world, run through the fire to the Lord, and He will dwell in the midst of the burning smoke. When the work that must be done is completed, we will emerge purified.

우리는 주님으로부터 떠나 절제 없는 
죄로 가득한 세상에서 우리의 유산을 허비하였다. 이 세상은 우리를 미워하지만, 우리는 이 세상을 주님보다, 심지어 자기 자신보다 사랑하였다. 

주님은 선지자들과 온갖 방식을 통해 너희와 소통코자 하셨으며 시대를 넘어 너희들을 부르셨다.
언제까지 그 부름을 무시하느냐
하나님의 진노가 이미 임하였고 온 세상을 빠르게 덮치리라.

늦기 전에 구원자이신 주님의 이름을 부르라. 이 세상을 버리고 불을 지나 주님께 달려가라, 그러면 불타는 연기 속에서 그분이 거하시리라. 반드시 해야 할 일들이 끝날 때 우리는 정결케 되어 나오리라.

The most important thing is that he loves you more than anyone else
