Keio (Korg) Mini Pops MP-7

The Keio* Mini Pops is an iconic and unique-sounding analogue beat box, famously-used by Jean-Michel Jarre on his Oxygene album. They may seem simple, but they just have "that sound" and we have a real soft spot for them and always have one in the studio. Standard preset rhythms can be modified by simultaneously pressing combinations of buttons. The "Quijada" sound is instantly-recognisable and unique to the Mini Pops.

Service work will include replacement of failing capacitors and cleaning of all sliders etc. Note that some sliders may crackle if the unit is left unused but this will clear with a few sweeps of the slider.

MODIFICATIONS: We can add a number of extra features to these including some separate outputs, pots to tweak some sounds, and if you want the full tricked-out MP then we can fit Tubbutec's Unipulse mod to give midi and other external clock control. Please enquire for the costs of the work you require.

*Keio is the forerunner of the mighty Korg empire.

Condition

In excellent cosmetic condition with minor scratching to the face. The red writing is faded but still legible. The case is very clean with minimal signs of wear or age. The end cheeks are very good with some dings around the edges. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

Voltage Information

100v Japanese model - it will run on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.

Tax

For sales in UK/EU the price will include 20% VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.
