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" and ''REV_INDI'' is from "She Couldn't". 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 from "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 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. 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.

"80 90 #2" is likely an attempt to create a song using a collection of samples from the 80s and 90s.

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.

June 21, 2019 | The ''[[Living Things]]'' demos came from the ''MS BEATS'' folder that surfaced on June 21, 2019 and were put together from various Maschine projects dating from the ''Living Things'' sessions in 2011-2012 to 2013 as evidenced by the presence of early ideas for "Animals" and "Holding Company" (both 2011 demos) and ideas for Mike's remixes of "[[Victimized]]" and "[[Castle Of Glass]]" from ''[[Recharged]]'' as well as a demo titled "Auckland2013" (likely created when the band was touring Australia in 2013) and "[[Horizons]]", a demo created when Mike was working on "[[A Light That Never Comes]]" with Steve Aoki that same year. | ||

Most of the Maschine files have the patterns put into a sequencer, so they were able to be exported as full songs. Some of them are long and others are literally just short drum patterns strung together. "[[Hemispheres]]", "Invader", "Jungle Gym", "Mirrors", "Slammie" and "Humanoid" didn't have the patterns sequenced, so they were exported as individual patterns and put together afterwards, being played one after the other in numerical order. Unlike MPC projects, the Maschine projects might depend on external samples not present in the project folder or additional plugins. Some of the plugins needed to export the demos were Native Instruments FM8, Native Instruments Massive, Native Instruments Absynth Stereo and Sugar Bytes WOW. <!--Invader has multiple sounds added to the project itself, but has none of them on the actual timeline thus no sound patterns.--> | ||

Revision as of 19:41, 3 August 2019
Many sounds from the A Thousand Suns sessions were reused on Living Things. There's "GBSounds1" on "Attendant", "Attendant 2" and "Victory March"; "Keyz", "NRG iPhone" and "Rick 808" on "Bottles"; "Cracker", "Labrat" and "Rygar" on "Bruiser"; "80 90 #2" (Sample23 and Sample41), "Archbshop", "Aubrey707", "GMajor" (Sample27), "Iridescent" (Sample16) and "Keyz" - as well as the unreleased demo "Sandmine" - on all three versions of "Burberry"; "Archbshop", "Keyz" and "PacmannyNew" (Sample44) on both versions of "Castle Of Glass Remix"; "80 90 #2" (Sample23), "NRG iPhone", "Pacmannynew" (Sample12, Sample18, Sample29 and Sample43), "Rygar" and "S Harris" on "Confetti"; "Labrat" on "Cookie Monster"; "Casino" and "GBSounds1" on "Digi Folk"; "NRG iPhone" on "Fois Gras", "Gamma Ray" and "Humanoid"; "Archbshop", "Aubrey707" and "NRG iPhone" on "Fois Gras 2"; "GBSounds1" on "Glitchy"; "Aubrey707" and "Keyz" - as well as "17" by The Smashing Pumpkins (pmp_pian) - on "Hamburger Hill"; "80 90 #2" (Sample08, Sample15, Sample25 and Sample31) and "S Harris" on "Headbutt"; "Archbshop" and "GBSounds1" on "Jackboot" and "Jackboot Stone Cyn"; "Atari", "GBSounds1" and "Ronwinter" (Sample07, Sample11 and Sample13) on "Killing Fields"; "Aubrey707" and "Casino" on "Lille"; "Archbshop", "Atari" and "GBSounds1" on "Luna"; "Archbshop" and "Keyz" on "Piledriver"; "Archbshop", "Rygar" and "Sandmine" on "Recharge Theme" and "Recharged"; "Rygar" on "Robotech"; "Rectngl", "S Harris" and "Sqratch" on "Ryu 2"; "Atari", "Cracker", "Labrat" and "S Harris" on "Ryu 3"; "Aubrey707" and "S Harris" on "Slippy"; "Archbshop" and "Casino" on "Thumper"; and "Archbshop", "Aubrey707", "Keyz" and "Sandmine" on "Victimized Remix".

Disc 4: The Hunting Party Demos
The demos from The Hunting Party were all created at Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, California. Inside the larrabee folder that surfaced on June 22, 2019 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. "PlatoDrum", "The Glistening" and "The Summoning" are missing the sounds and all three of the "LiveToys Project" sessions (inside the Morello Jams folder) are empty even though there are many sounds inside the project folder.
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.
Unlike Maschine projects, the Ableton Live projects had some full songs made up of many layers and the ones with samples intact have been bounced (exported as wav files). Those are "Apes", "Control" and "Mike Larabee Project" ("Spotify" / "Lifejacket"). For some of the songs Mike made some electronic soundscapes over them after the band recorded guitars and other live instruments.
"Apes" was one of the demos that had samples released on Stagelight's Linkin Park Bundle 2. Inside the project file there is an imported guitar track, but the actual project consists solely of synths being played after several minutes of silence (approximately after the duration of the guitar track). None of the beats found on Stagelight were present. To differentiate the guitar and the synth tracks, the name of the guitar file was left as "Apes Bounce" and the synth was changed to "Apes".
The file Mike Larabee Project\Samples\Imported\Spotify MS Bounce.wav is an entire rock version demo that served as the basis in the creation of Mike Larabee Project\Mike Larabee Spotify Bounces\Spotify Bounces.wav. The individual tracks for the project are titled "Spotify", indicating this was its working title, but the bounced instrumental was titled "Lifejacket".
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 as well as expansion packs for the program like Native Instruments' Battery 4 and Abbey Road 70s Drummer. "Morelllo 2" makes use of the Beat Bits 1 and SNDS1 folders from Mike's MPC 1000 Backup folder as well.
The drum tracks of "Blinky" and "True Chainz" aren't from the Larrabee folder, they were actually taken from the LP LIVE EXPERIENCE DRAFT ONE 14.02.14 Project, which was an early setlist idea for The Hunting Party tour. "True Chainz" is from an early version of "All For Nothing", presenting slight differences from the final version. "Blinky" ("Guilty All The Same") is exactly the same as the final product.
The "Wastelands" intro sample is another bonus taken from Mike's Access Virus TI Polar synthesizer.

Disc 5: Stagelight Demos
Bonus disc containing the demos released as part of the Linkin Park bundles for Stagelight. Thanks to those samples, fans 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". Since the "KeroDrums" project from A Thousand Suns was empty, this disc features the only version of "Kerosena" available. The samples are only available in mp3 format. The lossless version comes with the first six tracks only.

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.}}
