As a Minnesotan, I am obligated to like and sub just for that amazing intro cover of The Beautiful Ones. As soon as I heard the drum pattern I went "No freaking way!" Came here after the first video on the HR16 and you talking about the Linndrum upgrades, this is FANTASTIC to follow up with!
Just repeating what others have said, but I would definitely invest in a chip puller and leg straightener tool - I paid around £20 UK for both. Even with those you still need to be very careful - and try to check visually that all the pins are lined up before pushing the new chip into the socket. The way I use the chip puller for the larger ICs is to start the process exactly like you did with a screwdriver, then when the chip is about half way out, use the puller to lift it out, trying to keep it level with less risk of bending any pins. I have 2 HR16's and very tempted by the Linndrum sound set - thanks for a great video.
You can lay the chip sideways with the pins on the table, then very very slightly push the chip, and bend all the pins at the same time, and they’ll stay striaght
@@StarskyCarr The people selling these EPROMs should be straightening the pins before they send them. It takes literally seconds, with the right tool, and it's not even an expensive tool. It seems to me they're just asking for trouble by sending them out the way they receive them.
I've been working on a bunch of custom EPROMs for the HR-16 over the past few weeks, but it's not exactly straightforward. Ideally, you should be able to load your 1 MB of 8-bit mono sample data into the software editor and hit 'Create Bin File.' Unfortunately, it’s not that simple! You have to load each of your 40+ samples individually into separate slots, with the largest slot being 70 KB and the smallest 1,006 B. It's a real pain in the arse! 😂
Little tip using HR16 - record a pattern at a conventional quantisation. Then change quantise right up to 64ths and overdub the snare (for example). The combined snares, with one being slightly out, creates a great 'flam' effect which is useful for fills and double strikes. Still got my HR16 and love it. Haven't used it properly for years but the LINN EPROMS sounds like a great idea and could give it a new lease of life. Thanks for the video.
Starsky, after watching your video I decided these samples were better than the Linn ones on the PROMs I got years ago so I just ordered this set from the same supplier. Now I can upgrade my upgraded ancient HR-16!
The Linn seems to inspire Prince tracks i see. I like it. Thank God for technology. Gives you access to everything for so much cheaper. And to think, i had an HR 16. I want one again after watching this video unless i can get an actual Linn for the price of the HR16. lol
swapping the eproms is still much easier than a battery change on a HR16, thats what I have done today. Not to mention the resurrection of almost every single button. After my shipment arrived with a HR16 in unusable condition yesterday, no patterns, no pad or button response, not even start-stop, I was pretty sure that this grey HR16 from 87 cant be fixed anymore. But I made it work again(although I really hate soldering and I am not good at it) ,and even a sysex dump with factory presets worked out rather easy, actually I had just to play the sysex file with a midi cable inserted, surprisingly it was not necessary to adjust any midi setting. These eproms come from an ebay shop based in italy, I assume? Nice Channel, gonna subscribe now!
Hi mate, I always take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting anything inside any device. Its always a good idea to have a backup plan. But good job with repairing the broken pin.
Cool video, Mr Carr. Changing EPROMS... A little adventure. I remember when I changed the EPROMs for a new OS on my EPSm, I must say I was stressed, you're always on the edge of a pubic hair with these centipedes! 😁
Hey Starsky, there's a good chance I tested that machine at the Alesis Factory in Burbank around 1988-89. I worked there as a tester with my friends in KORN/LAPD . we and other Hollywood musicians got jobs there to test these and other stuff like the quadraverbs and those mini compressors and other stuff. I can't remember my #, maybe it was 144 or something. but I tested hundreds of those things . at the time, we hated them, because they sounded so fake. I was in a punk band and so it was torture to play on those hahah. later I changed my tune and became and electronic freak hahah.
I've upgraded chips on a few of my synths, I'd recommend gettiing a chip puller and leg straightener, they aren't too pricy and make this a lot easier.
Who knows… and the snare is sampled at 6 pitches, but not too deep, and the rim at 2. Strange choices but I guess whoever made it had to make a decision and went with whatever was most useful to them.
instantly went and snagged one off eBay for less than $150 off eBay bc of this video! but the EPROMS from that seller on eBay atm is currently all sold out so gonna have to wait sadly!
dorothy parker hell yeah :D i immediately was singin even if i could not. i heard red corvette and a track from the black album and one i can not recall the name
I had an HR16 back in the day and I hated it. Terrible terrible sounds. Whenever I hear a record from that era that uses the stock sounds in an obvious way I cringe. This is an amazing look at what could (should?) have been.
The sound of the outputs of the HR16 will be unique. That is probably why the Linn samples also sound different in an Alesis HR16, apart from the sample quality. Just keep the original roms. You never know if someone makes a hit with them.
This was great. I own an SR16 which died years ago. I don't remember when I found out that Prince used Linn sounds. I've had a blast loading the sounds into Reason's drum modules as well as my MPCs to replicate that Minneapolis Sound. Thanks for doing this. Love your work
I thought the HR16 version sounded better than the VSTi version, even if it's not the same as a Linndrum. just listening , not judging if it sounds like a Linndrum especially.
OK I did a screen shot, and it looks like 1134 and the date looks like 2 or 7 -24-89 and that looks like my crappy chicken writing. I think I tested that one. I was def there then, and does look like my writing. 1134 does ring a bell. It just shows how meaningless time and space is. and now it's a hot rodded Linndrum . if it was February, 24, that was a Friday. if it was July that was a Monday. And the owners of that factory (they were outsourced from Alesis ) were completely insane people. I could tell some stories on that experience.
@@StarskyCarr hey your "broken" version sounds a lot better hahah I know a lot of the industrial crowd loves the HR 16 sound, but I like the Linndrum sound better
Thank you for this follow-up video, Starsky. It helps address a recurring question I posed before, if the HR-16 is a machine with EPRIMs or a hard drive. Thank you for demonstrating how you can interchange the EPROMs. You have now got as many classic sounds from those early Linn models as you could possibly want and all the controllability of the LM-1 and the 9000 at your fingertips through the HR front panel. That almost suggests that you could also try getting an Oberheim Prommer to burn your own EPRIM chips (as you would for the DMX) and insert those custom chops here. Correct me if I’m wrong, however. What would also be great is if the hardware inside the machine and its chassis could be amended to add additional outputs the way you have on the classic Linn models. 9:40 “She wore a raaaaaaspberry beret!”
Since there are over 40 sounds across two EPROM, I believe the OS chip swap was needed in order to address the start & stop points of each sample correctly. So while you can indeed interchange EPROM or create your own, you're either stuck with the points fixed in the firmware, or you've got to rewrite the firmware to accommodate a different sample set.
This video came at a perfect time as I was looking on the same site to buy the linn EPROMs. I have a question and not sure if you or anyone knows . It seems like the strellis eprom kit that he stopped selling had these sounds but also potentially another chip to convert them into 8 bit samples th-cam.com/video/JSkNH9Vm3XY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s7r7fGjIs-QSXABs . I saw the vintagesynthparts website sells an 8 bit converter I wonder if the combination of that with the linn EPROMs if I can get even closer to the linn sound ?
Yamaha model, DTX multi 12. I love the RX5 samples that are uploaded to it, and I was just wondering a few seconds ago if these same samples were available to upload to it. I haven’t tried learning the process for sourcing samples online and transferring them to a drum machine.

@@crochambeau OK, so they had a drum machine AND a sequencer in the same form factor? That makes sense. I coulda swore so many friends had the sequencer. Memory is hazy, but pretty sure some ran other drum machines OFF the sequencer.
Nice vid, I've got the chips for the CR78, in the early 80's I had access to the 808, which was better than my DR55, and TR606, now I use a SR-16 and SR18, along with HR-16 with CR78 chips
There's a nice mod for the 707 than has a bunch of other classic drum machine samples + you get to keep the 707 sounds, shame the 707 has suddenly shot up in price... wish i bought one when they were giving them away a few years back
Have had mine since I bought it new as a teenager back in the 80's. Always found the sounds a bit cheesy but still glad I held onto it because it was the first bit of kit I bought.
I got new sounds for my drumtraks, got a eprom puller (pretty expensive) and still messed up one leg. But i repaired thise before with a parts of a metal brush soldered and it works. I done a few like that over the years. But last time i did use a component leg. But someone here talks about a leg straightening device. If it is not a dump plastic 3d print thingy, i might need one too
I love my stock HR-16 & HR-16B, but I've got to admit the Linn sounds achieve a sonic fingerprint that is unreachable with a bone stock unit. Tempting, yes.
@@crochambeau to be fair after I posted I remembered doing exactly that. Powered it up and got gobbledygook- took another look and I’d bent 2 over. Gladly they didn’t snap. Definitely worth having a chip remover tool (cheap 3D printed thing will do)
I often use a screwdriver to start lifting a chip, because you can be a bit more sensitive with the screwdriver than the puller tool. I have found the puller tools are sort of all or nothing - you insert them then pull and nothing happens, then you pull harder and eventually the chip releases and flies out of the socket - bending several pins in the process. If you ease the chip out very slightly with a screwdriver at each end, then use the tool for final removal it seems to work better. Might feel like a faff - but it's not really if you've done a few.
I don't think that sounds like a linndrum. What does is the MFB Tanzmaus. I loaded the Linndrum samples into it and pitched the samples down, its a mini SP-1200 that you might be able to buy today...of course now that I posted this the prices will no doubt go up!
@@toslinked they say that about the old MPC’s and it’s nonsense then too. I think the reason is back in the 80’s to get an instant reaction from a sample felt ‘tight’
I think it’s more to do with how it pitches them… as it drops it reduces the sample rate… or down from 24k to 12k on the original 8 bit samples that sound really lovely and crunchy- listen to the demo vs the vprom near the end.
Haha I know 😀👍I did think about getting some cheaper pedals (for example Prince famously used the Boss BF2 flanger - probably because it’s purple! - that’s only about £100) but then I realised I’d be buying more stuff I’d never use again. I do have some old rack mount cheap stuff but it doesn’t work on camera - just looks like black rectangles. I guess I could’ve labelled them .. 😂
