Community members LPPanther, michalangelo, letdownagain, ArmoredMexican, graveguard, lpliveusername and SasstielExperience worked hard for over two months in order to bring the demos to life. Justin, Hahninator and bruh009 also have contributed to the analysis of the content. Artwork was created by DCrecelius. | |||

Essentially, people are still finishing turning all of the sounds and samples into sequences. After that, the job would be to put all of the sequences for each folder or song together to make a 10 - 60 second demo. The only problem is, we don't know how long Mike intended each sequence to run for or the order (e.g. 8 bars in a row of sequence one, 2 bars of sequence two, return to sequence one for 4 bars . . .) so they would only be guesses. | Essentially, people are still finishing turning all of the sounds and samples into sequences.

Before we get to the download links, we'd like to inform you that none of the demos seen here are complete songs and (besides some voice samples) none of them have vocals. They are simply seeds, early ideas for what the songs would eventually become. Hence why most of them are so short. Also, some of the project files didn't contain a song view, only sequences (patterns), so what you'll get for some of them are simply the sequences being played one after another. This is the case for 'Al_Intro,' 'Invader,' 'Ugh,' 'Hemispheres,' 'Jungle Gym,' 'Return,' 'Mirrors,' 'Slammie,' 'Humanoid,' 'Midnighs,' and many of the A Thousand Suns demos. 'LA' and 'Atari' were left as various tracks because they were special cases where each one of their sequences had a different tempo. | Before we get to the download links, we'd like to inform you that none of the demos seen here are complete songs and (besides some voice samples) none of them have vocals.

Due to requests, we've decided to include a bonus disc containing the demos released as part of the Linkin Park bundles for Stagelight. Thanks to those samples, we are able to get an additional taste of unreleased demos included in the other 4 discs such as 'Apes,' 'Spirals,' 'Lorax' and 'Casino' as well as full-length versions of 'Bruiser' and 'Space Station.' Unfortunately, we only have the samples available in mp3 format. The lossless version comes with the full songs (first 6 tracks) only.

The ''[[Hybrid Theory]]'' demos are mainly from the ''MPC 1000 Backup/MIKE MPC'' folder which consists of projects created with .snd files. It is an old file type that needs to be converted to wav in order to be open by regular media player softwares. These are some of Mike's earlier beats and it looks like he might have done some conversion at some point, which is why there are .wav duplicates of some of those samples in the ''Xero Current'' folder. There's also a lot of samples used across multiple tracks, arguably from a similar time period, pre-Hybrid Theory. They probably date from around 1997-1999 - given the presence of samples from "Coal", a demo from 1997, and the presence of Chester's vocal samples. The fact that there is no digital master of the ''[[Xero]]'' tape, indicates these demos are probably post-cassette demo. | The ''[[Hybrid Theory]]'' demos are mainly from the ''MPC 1000 Backup/MIKE MPC'' folder that surfaced on June 18, 2019 which consists of projects created with .snd files.

The discovery of those demos revealed working titles that had never been seen before for some songs. "Emo" is a fleshed out demo of "She Couldn't" that runs about 5:24 minutes, which is quite long for an Linkin Park song, created after Chester joined the band as evidenced by the appearance of the "Chazaaah" sample. "Siamo" is the Hybrid Theory EP version of "High Voltage", "Rendezvo" is the original long version of "Technique" and "SKY2" is very similar to the beat on "Crawling". | The discovery of those demos revealed working titles that had never been seen before for some songs.

Running a trial of Akai's MPC Desktop software, fans were able to read the project files and see what samples are in the same set. The software is able to understand the .snd files and play them back at the right speed, e.g. Mike MPC 2.snd sounds like a drum break from "Cure For The Itch" in the software, but plays back at the wrong speed in Audacity. Additionally, the samples are edited to a certain length, but can be reset to be longer by altering the start/end times. Typically there's an .APS file and an .ALL file that go together with the same name. By loading the .APS files, it's possible to view the song mode and export what is in the song view. The .ALL files can then be used to load the MIDI data/sequencing and to see the BPM for a track - for example, "Oh No" displays 95 BPM. The sequences will load with no sound, so in the track view each sequence needs to be associated with a program in order to be played. There may be instances where there is no song view or there are unused sequences (patterns); and some songs need to have samples manually relinked. | Running a trial of Akai's MPC Desktop software, fans were able to read the project files and see what samples are in the same set.

"Tuff" doesn't have an .ALL file, so fans were able to load the samples but not sequences or songs and there's no point in exporting the individual samples as they are already in the folder. Other projects that contained only a collection of samples (even though those have an .ALL file) are "Beatbits" and "Drumz". For "Return", "Midnighs", "Swish", "Al_Intro", "LA" and "Ugh" there are no songs, only sequences. Since "LA" has 4 different BPMs, it was left as 4 different files. Some projects contained more than one version of a song. There are alternate versions of "Sad" and "Siamo" and two different projects for different versions of "Stick N Move" and "Hurry". A third version of "Hurry" seemed to exist, however only the .ALL file is available. | "Tuff" doesn't have an .ALL file, so fans were able to load the samples but not sequences or songs and there's no point in exporting the individual samples as they are already in the folder.

It is unclear what's the use of the binary files in the root of the ''MPC 1000 Backup'' folder, but it's unlikely that the samples inside the ''Xero Current'' folder were designed to be sequenced and exported together as there are no project files inside it. The folder contains loose samples of "[[Esaul]]" (''ESAULGUI'' and ''ESAUL_1''), "[[Part Of Me]]" (''noo_alar'' and ''partalar''), "Oh No" (''OHCYM1C'', ''OHCYM2'', ''OHCYM3'', ''OHKICK1'', ''OHKICK2'', ''OHKICK3'', ''OHMANSON'', ''OHSN1'', ''OHSNAR1'' and ''OHSNAR2''), "[[Pictureboard]]" (''PIC_2'' and ''PIC_3''), "17" by Smashing Pumpkins (''pmp_piano''), "[[Pods]]" (''POD_CYM1''), "[[Slip]] (''Slip_1'' and ''Slip_2'') and "Step Up" (''STEPDRUM'', ''STEPRE1'', ''STEPRE2'', ''STEPUPDR'' and ''stepupia'') - among others. Because "Pictureboard" was performed live, the strings sample is also present on ''[[Mista Hahn's Tasty Gas Station Breaks From The Orient]]'', Joe Hahn's live vinyl. Other Xero and Hybrid Theory samples are found in the ''NewFinishesA'' and ''Mike's Beats #1'' folders. ''NewFinishesA'' contains samples of "Part Of Me" (''partolar'' and ''partobuz''), "My Own Summer (Shove It)" by Deftones (''DEFKICK0'') and "[[Carousel]]" (''INDIANCH'') while ''Mike's Beats #1'' contains samples of "Technique" (''ANDSTRIN''), rough versions of the Carousel guitar parts (''BRADFMJ'', ''BRADFMJ2'' and ''BRADFMJ3''), "[[Coal]]" (''CO_'' files) and possibly "Pods" (''CO_Spimp'' and ''CO_Vast2''). ''STICKEYS'' on the ''Beat Bits 3'' folder is from "Stick N Move". Some of the samples are sped up. When slowed down, ''Stepupia'' is the harp on "Step Up" and ''Indianch'' is Chester's chant from "Carousel". ''Steppre1'' and ''stepre2'' are Mike's pitch-shifted vocals from "Step Up". ''JEFFPORN'' (a voice message from Jeff Blue) from the ''Xero Current'' folder is included in the tracklist as a bonus. | It is unclear what's the use of the binary files in the root of the ''MPC 1000 Backup'' folder, but it's unlikely that the samples inside the ''Xero Current'' folder were designed to be sequenced and exported together as there are no project files inside it.

One thing that's interesting about this overall collection is the presence samples of other artists. There's a sound labeled ''staind'', a lot of Björk samples, some EPMD sounds, a file named ''FATBOY'' (Fatboy Slim), others with the NIN prefix (''NIN_PDRG'' is likely "The Perfect Drug"), Deftones sounds (''DEFKICK0'' is "My Own Summer (Shove It)"), The Smashing Pumpkins, Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Paul Weston, ''LIONELCYM'' is likely from Lionel Richie, ''101strng'' and ''101strg2'' originate from "Madama Butterfly, Act II: Un bel di vedremo", etc. Mike had a tendency to use a lot of the same samples in his creations and would sample other artists as placeholder parts before replacing them with his own. It is known that the band had issues with "She Couldn't" and ''Hybrid Theory'' has no sample credits, so it's possible the song might have set the template for scraping samples that weren't created by the band. | One thing that's interesting about this overall collection is the presence samples of other artists.

The ''A Thousand Suns'' demos originated from ''MPC 1000 Backup'' root and ''MPC 1000 Backup/MPC1000 FILES'' folder. They have .PRJ/.PGM files which load the samples into the program, then the .ALL files loads the sequences for those samples. Like in the ''Hybrid Theory'' projects, there may be instances where there is no song view or there are unused sequences. This is true for most of this collection as "80 90s Drums", "Album4Snds" (4 versions), "Atari" (4 versions), "Aubrey707", "GMajor01" (''GMAJOR'' folder), "GMajor1" (''GMAJOR'' folder), "Iri", "Iridescent" (4 versions), "Lorax" (4 versions), "PacmannyNew" (4 versions) and "Rick 808" were the only projects with song view besides "80 90 #2", "Archbshop", "Snds1" and "Ree Keys1", which have song view but no sounds in the timeline. "80 90 #2", "Archbshop", "Autoload" (likely just the MPC's default starting state), "GBSounds1", "GBSounds2", "GBSounds3", "KeroDrums", "NRG iPhone", "Snds1", "Ree Keys1" and "Rygar" didn't have sequences to export, they are essentially just sample banks. | The ''[[A Thousand Suns]]'' demos originated from ''MPC 1000 Backup'' root and ''MPC 1000 Backup/MPC1000 FILES'' folder and likely date from very early in the album process, around 2008-2009. Because the album started as a video game project that quickly deteriorated, many of those demos sound like video game music. They have .PRJ/.PGM files which load the samples into the program, then the .ALL files loads the sequences for those samples.

"80 90 #2" is likely an attempt to create a song using a collection of samples from the 80s and 90s. "Take On Me" by a-ha (''Sample05'', ''Sample06'', ''Sample07'', ''Sample08'' and ''Sample09'') is among them. | |||
"Album4Snds" is a mashup of ''A Thousand Suns'' samples from "[[Wretches And Kings]]" (''Sample02'', ''Sample03'' and ''Sample04''), "[[Waiting For The End]]" (''Sample16'', ''Sample17'', ''Sample18'', ''Sample19'', ''Sample39PP'', ''Sample39PP2'', ''Sample39PP3'', ''Sample39PP4'' and ''Sample39PP5''), "[[Burning In The Skies]]" (''Sample20'', ''Sample21'', ''Sample22'', ''Sample29'', ''Sample30'', ''Sample31'', ''Sample32'', ''Sample33'' and ''Sample34''), "[[The Catalyst]]" (''Sample06'' and ''Sample38''), "[[Blackout]]" (''Sample09'', ''Sample10'', ''Sample11'' and ''Sample12'') and various drum sounds, almost certainly used on the album as well. | |||
"Album4Snds" is a mashup of "Wretches And Kings", "Waiting For The End" and "Burning In The Skies" | |||
" | All of the files inside the "Aubrey707" folder are named "Crazy707", which was probably an older title for the demo. | ||
"Iridescent" | |||
" | "Lorax" is the most extensive project of the bunch with 15 sequences. The eight "Archbshop" samples from it were later used on "[[Animals]]" during the ''[[Living Things]]'' sessions. The demo also shares samples with "Keyz", "Rygar" and the previously mentioned "Sqratch" along with another absent demo called "Shaker" from ''LOOSESAMPLES''. | ||
" | |||
" | Demos of known Linkin Park songs are also present. "Megatron" is a demo version of "[[New Divide]]" created with various sounds from the ''GBsounds1'', ''GBsounds3'', ''LOOSESAMPLES'' and ''NewFinishesA'' folders. "Packmanny" and "PackmannyNew" are both demos of "[[Blackout]]". The fist being a very early version. The ''Sample33'' used on "PackmannyNew" is taken from "Misty Mountain Hop" by Led Zeppelin. The band has said "Iridescent" got its title from a separate song that never went anywhere but they liked the title so decided to use it in a different song. The "Iridescent" sounds very little like the ''A Thousand Suns'' version and is faster, at 140 BPM. The samples are likely from the original "Iridescent" they scrapped. The track consists of various samples from "Atari", "GBsounds1", "Keyz", "Rygar" and "Rick 808" as well as "Cracker", "Labrat" and "Sqratch" from the ''LOOSESAMPLES2'' folder. "Iri", possibly short for "Iridescent", has the same BPM as the album song, but the demo is mostly drum sounds that fans don't recognize. ''Sample68'' on "Snds1" is a sample later used on "[[I'll Be Gone]]" from ''Living Things''. It is known that the demo for song was originated during the ''A Thousand Suns'' sessions. Chester is shown recording vocals for "LeftRight" on the ''Meeting Of A Thousand Suns'' DVD. | ||
"Rick 808" | |||
"Rygar" | "Rick 808" is the hi-hats from "Wretches And Kings" and the BPM matches with the song (Rick likely being Rick Rubin). "Rygar" is likely from when the band tracked the various guitar samples for the song. ''RYGAR4'', ''RYGAR5'', ''RYGAR30'' and ''RYGAR32'' were used on it, ''RYGAR21'' on "[[Victimized]]" and ''RYGAR37'' on "[[Bruiser]]". | ||
" | |||
The files inside the ''BANGS'' folder must be open on Pro Tools. It contains the explosion sounds Mike used live. For folders with .NKI files there are no song files. The .NKI files are patches for Kontakt, a virtual instrument that loads samples and maps them to keys on a keyboard/controller. There were also various folders of sample packs not by Linkin Park. A notable one is the ''NEPTUNES SAMPLES'' folder with samples from the production duo The Neptunes, including sounds from "Grindin'" by Clipse. Mike likely got samples from Chad Hugo when they worked together on "[[Never Let Me Down]]". | |||

The demos from The Hunting Party were all created at Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, California. Inside the ''larrabee'' folder were found three Maschine projects named "Morelllo 1", "Morelllo 2" and "Morello Chop"; and everything else is an Ableton Live project. Some Ableton projects however are missing all of their samples which made them useless. Most of them are just a setup of some virtual instruments or samples, but no actual MIDI information or any other audio.

Despite not having files inside its project, raw MIDI files for "The Summoning" were found in a different folder and included in the compilation. MIDI is a Musical Instrument Digital Interface file. Unlike regular audio files, MIDI files don't contain actual audio data. They are basically instructional files that explain how the sound should be produced once attached to a playback device or loaded into a particular software program that knows how to interpret the data. It explains what notes are played, when they're played and how long or loud each note should be. Because of this, they lack the actual sounds used in the song and the notes are played by a standard virtual piano. | Despite not having files inside its project, raw MIDI files for "The Summoning" were found in a different folder and included in the compilation.

While "Morello Chop" had the samples (from the ''Morello Sounds/Tom Noises'' folder) intact, "Morelllo 1" and "Morelllo 2" had to be reassembled as they make use of samples from Maschine's standard library found on the One ''Shot/Buzz'', ''Samples/Drums/Clap'' and some other folders.

Welcome to Linkinpedia!
Started in June 2015 alongside Fort Minor's comeback and released on September 19, 2016, this is a project by LPLive (Linkin Park Live) to create the most accurate wiki on the Internet for Linkin Park and their side projects. Instead of integrating a wiki inside our own website, we made the decision to launch a wiki as a brand new, standalone project.
The wiki contains over 500 pages of content and information ranging from the background information of songs to their live histories. We're launching Linkinpedia as a "work in progress" - there are missing pages AND there is missing info in the current pages. With hundreds of articles written, it will take some time to properly complete the wiki.
Due to fans and anyone being able to freely edit Wikipedia and other Linkin Park wikis, misinformation has spread throughout the community along with an incredible amount of inaccuracies about the band. Since Linkinpedia will be locked to the public and written, reviewed, and posted by members of LPLive's staff, we hope to correct any common mistakes out there about Linkin Park as well as to inform you as accurately as possible all about the band, their releases, their live shows and tours, and much more.
Feel free to browse Linkinpedia via the column on the left of the page. Fans and site members are welcome to submit corrections, mistakes, and more information to Linkinpedia via a link on the left.

We fact check all of our information before adding it to Linkinpedia, hence why it took over 15 months and 13,000~ page edits to just launch the project. We always cite as many sources as possible for new information, and we use the highest available quality for artwork that we add.
Linkinpedia / LPLive does not own any artwork or any pictures, and we're not using any for profit, etc. We will remove any photo by request. Our Photo Disclaimer, the same as LPLive's, can be found here.
This wiki is written by the fans, for the fans, with the goal of becoming the number one source of reliable, factually-correct Linkin Park information on the Internet. <metadesc>Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park.</metadesc> <metadesc content="Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park." /> {{#description2:Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park.}}
