Korg Mini Pops

Mini Pops was the name given to a number of early drum machines from the Japanese musical equipment company Korg during the late 1960s[1] and the 1970s.[2] The machines were based around a number of preset rhythm patterns,[3][4] such as waltz, samba and rhumba.

One notable use of a Mini Pops drum machine was by French musician Jean Michel Jarre, in the final part of his breakthrough album, Oxygene. This rhythm was achieved by overlaying two of the presets in a manner not intended by the machine's original design.[3] Aphex Twin used the Mini Pops drum machine on his album Syro, and named its single "minipops 67 [120.2]" after it.
