Regardless, with its laid back groove, constantly changing hi hats, and crunchy, 80s drum sounds, the LM1 is an organic machine that oozes funk. Its sounds were also most likely stolen by other drum machines of the era, including the Drumtraks, 707, DMX and more. Upon its release, the sound immediately became ingrained in pop culture, most notably by Prince (who was often mistaken for using the Linndrum) and followed by legends like Michael Jackson, Gary Numan and Roger Troutman. It was the first drum machine to introduce record quantize and shuffle, which was a major accomplishment at the time. Introduced in 1980, the LM1 was based around 8 bit, 28kHz digital samples of a drummer (who is unknown!) passed through analog filters.
