Just so everyone knows, it is a common mistake that Prince used ONLY the Linn Drum and LM-1. This is untrue. He also used a Oberheim DMX drum machine.
Actually he used it more than people think. And I will go out on a limb to say he used the DMX on the particular songs the original poster was asking about.
It actually came out before the Linn Drum, and it has very famous (signature) feels to is sequence rhythm grooves, of which Prince used alot.
Like the Linn Drum(s) it used samples of real accoustic drums and percussion.
But its sequencer in certain groove choices is what gave you that signature "Prince" feel....
Crazy too, because it is a hell of alot cheaper than a Linn. But that is because it is a more "hidden" gem not many know about or care to know about because their friends didn't tell them about it, so it "ain't cool man" -- LOL -
Go figure
