GeezerVison is showing en.wikipedia.org — Korg Mini Pops - Wikipedia The Mini Pops were a number of early analog drum machines from the Japanese musical equipment company Korg during the late 1960s and the 1970s.[1][2] The machines were based around a number of preset rhythm patterns,[3] such as waltz, samba, rhumba, bossa nova, tango, slow rock, swing, and rock 1 and 2.[4] ModelsMinipops 3Minipops 5Released in 1966. Minipops 7The Mini-Pops 7 released in 1966, featured 15 drums sounds and 20 patterns.[7] French musician Jean-Michel Jarre used it throughout his breakthrough album, Oxygene. Some rhythms were achieved by overlaying two of the presets in a manner not intended by the machine's original design,[3] and "Parts V", "VI" and "VII" of Equinoxe featured the Rock 1 pattern. Aphex Twin used it on his album Syro, and in homage named a single "minipops 67 [120.2]".[8] Echo and the Bunnymen also used the Mini-Pops 7 drum machine at the beginning of their career.[9] A variant of this instrument was sold in the US under the Univox brand, as the Univox SR-95. This featured slightly different "Beguine" and "Slow Rock" rhythms, and was missing the rimshot of the Mini-Pops 7. Minipops 20 SReleased 1967. The S denoted stereo Minipops 35Released 1976.
