LinnDrum II - Roger Linn & Dave Smith 16 Years, 4 Months ago
The BoomChik is now called LinnDrum II
http://davesmithinstruments.com/products/linndrum2/

There 2 models the analog version and the digital version!

I wonder what the differences are on the digital part of both machines?

Isn't the digital sample based and the analogue does the actual synthesis?

I'm hoping the digital machine offers synthesis as well... if not, I fail to see why it is not an MPC...which they both said they are not making. If the digital machine does offer synthesis...I hope it is more elektron than electribe.

There will be two models: the all-digital LinnDrum II and the LinnDrum II Analog, which adds a 4-voice analog synth and 27 dual-function voicing knobs.

Yeah ie gives no real data on the digital machine. Another few months of waiting for a few lines of info.

Because I actually prefer the digitalness of the MD to the analog of Jomox... so I'd like for the digital side to have as much capability as the analog side of the analog linn.

To me it looks that the digital version is just a stripped down version of the analog one!

Re:LinnDrum II - Roger Linn & Dave Smith 16 Years, 4 Months ago
from what i understand, the two versions are like this:

  • 1 All Digital with Sample playback

  • 2 Digital and Analogue (IE version above but with 4 Voice analogue synthesis-and Evolver type bits and pieces) and 27 extra knobs


it seems like the best option is to get the Digital + Analogue one. so that way you get the best of both worlds. personally, i still need to hear a lot more to really get jazzed about either unit. i'm very much intrigued though. i've been a Linn fan for the longest...every since i touched a MPC60.

staying tuned!

just saw: http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/products/linndrum2/

still staying tuned. i'm with JS on this one. i am not immediately enamored with a analogue drum machine. i may change my opinion as details come out but the Jomox analogue boxes never real did much for me either.

anyway, staying tuned...still
