摘要：

This article explores Prince's LM-1 rhythm programming techniques and sound ideals by considering song examples, interviews with Prince's engineers and musicians, and online fan discussion. It is argued that given the constraints of music technologies in the early 1980 s and the production workflows for using them, Prince's drum programming remains a model of compelling groove-making. By sequencing rhythms, finger drumming drum fills, and incorporating unusual timbres from effects processing, Prince imbued the LM-1's mechanical sound with the vibrant feel of a live drummer.
