A Linn LM-1, flanger, compressor and pure genius. These are the ingredients that created Prince’s definitive “Minneapolis” drum sound.

The project includes a drum rack based on samples from both the LM-1 and LinnDrum, processed in his unique style – and 10 royalty-free all-original MIDI loops, inspired by Prince’s approach to groove programming.
