Keio (Korg) Mini Pops MP-7 - Modified
Brand: Keio/Korg
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
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.

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.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."
DAVID WRENCH
“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON
Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."
JOSH LLOYD-WATSON & TOM MCFARLAND - JUNGLE
“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
