Hey, can you remind me how to hook this thing up. I have the exact one. Serial number 701591. i put from my amp the wire to the "HIGH" impedence and it worked, but no bass. there is a hole for pedal and LOW, Help?

I used to have one of those. I sort of regret trading it, even if it was almost useless.

This = Minipops 3

[raydeen2k]

I paid $50 for one of those years ago. It's a pretty neat little machine. One really cool trick that I found by accident was that you can mix different beats by holding more than one button down at a time. Adds some nice little breaks here and there to the standard rhythms.

I havent seen the Percussion King

V-829.

The VOX Percussion touted as the "effect that makes a group big!" It had ten effects which included; Crash Cymbal, Brush Cymbal, Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Drum Roll, Bongo I, Bongo II, Block, Clave and Castanets. The two foot pedals were used to tap out the rhythm and alternatively rhythms could be tapped out using the finger buttons on the control panel.

i want one of these.

[Iraqveteran8888]

I have one I just don't know what it's worth.

[biggfoxy]

I have this...it's a funny little contraption. Pressing two buttons at onces seems to combine the drum beats into something unique.

[TechnicalEvaluation]

ha ha... blast beat at the end...

I just bought one of these. Can't seem to find a manual online anywhere just wondering. Quick question. Do the bass drum/snare and cymbal buttons only work for the foxtrot/swing beat?

To summerize, how did you get it to work? In wich amplifier did u connect it?

[LeCapital]

Do you just connect it to an amplifiers, on the high output, and it makes that?

Pease answer, because I got one and I think it's defected, it does not do all that sound!

Just a little hum.

you need to run either the hi or lo audio out to some sort of preamp - wiether that be a studio mixer or an aux input of some sort of amplifing device (with appropriate adaptors of course) and it should work just fine. Try using a multi-meter to see if you're getting signal through the hi/lo jacks. You can open the machine up fairly easily to accomplish this task too.

I have this thing too. All if not most of Univox's drum machines from this period where made by Korg. This machine here, is basically a Korg Minipops 3. It has two audio outs, hi and lo - as well as a pedal jack for starting and stopping. It's absolutley sick when you distort this machine and add some gated reverb. I use the hi out for audio, and will trigger a PC-2 or JU-6 etc with the lo audio out. Lots of fun with this machine.

awesome

[LeCapital]

Does it have input AND output jacks?CAn you use guitar pedals with it? Make it in line. Maybe a bypass loop or something.
