Product Information
The Behringer MINI POPS 7 Classic Analog Drum Machine brings the unmistakable character of vintage rhythm machines into a modern, compact design. Inspired by the iconic Minipops 7 from the 1960s, this drum machine features authentic analogue circuitry, 13 original drum sounds with adjustable variants and mix parameters, and a powerful 16-step sequencer. Delivering the distinctive rhythmic textures associated with electronic music pioneers such as Jean-Michel Jarre and Aphex Twin, the MINI POPS 7 is ideal for electronic music production, studio recording and live performance.
Equipped with 32 programmable patterns and real-time pattern switching, the MINI POPS 7 makes creating and arranging rhythms intuitive and flexible. Patterns can be chained into complete songs of up to 250 bars, while 16 LED-equipped step buttons, 13 controls and 24 switches provide immediate hands-on access to essential functions. A built-in distortion circuit inspired by the classic RAT-style effects pedal adds everything from subtle grit to aggressive saturation.
With nine independent analogue voice outputs, MIDI and USB connectivity, and multiple synchronisation options, the MINI POPS 7 integrates seamlessly into modern hardware and software setups. Individual drum sounds can be routed to external effects, mixers or recording equipment, making this versatile rhythm machine a powerful addition to any electronic music setup.
