Mini Pops 7 for sale, modded with individual outs/triggers on the rear and rotary tweaking pots on top. Demo videos of another of these modded units below.

To quote our usual listing for one of these (un-modded): "This iconic and unique-sounding analogue beat box was 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..."

And that's all true. But where's the fun in that? We got one of techs to mod this one to give external access to the internal trim pots and also separate outputs so you can use them as triggers. It's turned a good drum machine in OK condition into a box with all sorts of creative possibilities. See the demos below which only use the tweaking pots. If we have it for long enough we'll do some trigger demos with it with a Simmons or an Ult Sound drum synth.

The four pots give control of:
  • Noise
  • Quijada pitch
  • Guiro sustain
  • Guiro pitch
And on the rear you have separate trigger outputs for:
  • Quijada
  • Guiro
  • Tamourine
  • Bass drum
  • Cymbal

=======

Condition is very good - has some wear to the metal areas. Slider tops were missing so we added a matching set of new ones. See the photos for more information.

  • It is a 100v Japanese model and will run fine 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.
