The vintage KORG MINI POPS series comparison demo!

Analog rhythm machines were the first products from the japanese "Keio Electronics" company, which later became Korg. The Minipops series are preset rhythm machines, which came out in the sixties and seventies - sweet little wooden boxes with lovely grooves. The early ones were also called "Donca Matic".

The best of this bunch was the Mini Pops 7. It has the most complex sounds and patterns. It was used by Jean-Michel Jarre on his legendary album "OXYGENE" in 1976.
Like a Minimoog or a Roland TR-808, every Minipops 7 sounds a bit different. They even look different! The early ones have angular, grey slider caps and they sound better in my opinion - they also have different looking components inside.

The minipops machines sound awesome - I like them all... this movie helps you to choose your favourite model :-)

    gruß

  • @dlsmusicband Hi, lies mal den ausführlichen Testbericht bei Amazona.de - dort habe ich zu jedem Modell was geschrieben. Gruß

  • Are any of them programable?

  • @Zombi3Biscuit no. But you can combine presets, you can obtain awesome groove combinations.

  • Hallo , mein Minipops 3 hat bei den Instrumenten zum Teil ganz verschiedene Tonhöhen , ich habs noch nie geöffnet , aber hast Du irgendwelche Eionstellungen an den Trimmpotis vorgenommen oder sind da solche Unterschiede wegen des Alters , denn die Geräte haben ja fast schon 40 Jahre auf dem Buckel !!

    PS: Das ist der Beste Überblick über die Minipops - Serie die ich bei Youtube gefunden hab !!!

  • @Uhura1969 Danke...

    Die Unterschiede sind wegen den Bauteil-Toleranzen, die bei analogen Geräten normal sind. Als die Geräte neu waren, war es genauso, hat mit dem Alter nichts zu tun. Kein Exemplar klingt 100% wie ein anderes.

see all

  • That "trrrr" sound is SO recognizable. It's all over Jarre's early work.

  • These little things remind me of the analog rhythm box which Lowrey built in to their excellent "Lawrence Welk Edition" transistor organs.

  • Thanks for taking the time to show us these!
