Even if you bought this reboot (5K!), or could find one of the original 700 LM-1's(?K!), you'd never get that Prince sound.

He had his own special blend of herbs n spices

I think he had a prototype of the LM-1 with some different things in it compared to the retail version.

Thanks for posting. Is it possible Prince had a prototype before it was released properly in 1980, in other words might Prince have had a version in 1979.

Another interesting interview with Roger Linn in this link that’s been on here somewhere before:

Roger Linn said he gave him a version of it before it went to retail (or it was someone else who gave it to him)
