The Rhythm Behind the Legends — Now in Your Studio
Evoking the unmistakable analog drum machine sounds harnessed by such legends as Jean-Michel Jarre and Aphex Twin, the Behringer Mini Pops 7 features 13 original drum sounds with variants and mix parameters, along with a 16-step sequencer with real-time switching between 32 separate patterns. Beat makers at Sweetwater find the Mini Pops 7’s nine independent analog Voice Out jacks make external processing or capturing multitrack recordings a breeze. You can also chain patterns into full songs with up to 250 bars, and 16 LED-equipped step buttons make pattern creation incredibly straightforward. The Mini Pops 7 houses 13 controls and 24 switches, providing you with direct, real-time access to all the drum machine's important parameters. Additionally, the Mini Pops 7 features a distortion circuit modeled after the famous rodent-style stompbox, adding grit and edginess to your sound. Beyond that, a comprehensive MIDI/USB implementation enables synchronization and connection to external devices, supported by USB, MIDI, Clock, and Internal sync options. Electronic composers looking to emulate those elusive Oxygene sounds will be pleased by the analog ear candy lurking inside the Behringer Mini Pops 7.

Behringer: a brief history
Uli Behringer showed an interest in music technology design at a young age, building his own synthesizer by the time he was 16. In 1982, Uli began studying sound engineering and classical piano at the Robert Schumann conservatory in Düsseldorf, Germany. Uli’s defining moment came when he was repairing a signal processor made by a high-end manufacturer. Despite the processor’s expensive price tag, Uli realized that its internal components could be bought for a fraction of the cost. Being a strapped-for-cash student, Uli began building his own signal processors. Before he knew it, other students began requesting equipment from him. In 1989, after being bombarded with more orders than he could handle alone, Uli created Behringer, Inc.
