The Mini Pops were a number of early analog drum machines from the Japanese musical equipment company Korg during the late 1960s and the 1970s.
Some rhythms were achieved by overlaying two of the presets in a manner not intended by the machine's original design.
Aphex Twin used it on his album Syro, and in homage named a single "minipops 67 [120.2]".
This featured slightly different "Beguine" and "Slow Rock" rhythms, and was missing the rimshot of the Mini-Pops 7.
A Minipops Junior was used by Echo and the Bunnymen on their debut single, "The Pictures on My Wall.
