What happens when you combine the Minipops SR-120 analog drum machine with an H3000, Space Echo, and tape machine? We aren’t entirely sure either... but it sounds otherworldly!
Released in 1976, the Minipops has a wonderfully analog sound and sports a bigger kick drum than any other rhythm box we’ve heard (and we’ve heard quite a few).
But, we wanted to bring the Minipops into the future, so we pumped it through a variety of truly unhinged pitching, delays, and modulation effects on our H3000 and printed it to tape, re-pitching the results for deeper kicks, slo-mo beats, and frantic grooves.
These samples are nothing like what you’d expect from an early rhythm box. The drums drip, stretch and blast out of your speakers like some strange creature from a B-movie!
Along with 64 loops created with this monstrous chain, we meticulously isolated the best one-shots to make 5 16x hit kits - including a clean kit along with the processed, so you can still experience that original Minipops goodness!

A Rare Rhythm Box Sampled Through an SP-1200
"It's big and from the 70s" is the most information you can find about the Rhythm 700, also known as the TR 700. It's a rare, 3ft tall analog rhythm box that doubles quite nicely as a piece of vintage studio furniture.
Created by Roland in 1972, (the same year the company was founded), the rhythm represents one of Roland's very first products. The company's founder, Ikutaro Kakehashi, had originally built rhythm boxes as organ accompaniments in the 1960s with his company Ace Electronic Industries, (Ace Tone). The sound was unbeatable - early 70s analog drums, with airy hi hats, a punchy snare and the snappy analog percussion you might find on an old Suicide or Brian Eno record. It's older and a bit grittier (there is some noise) than its late 70s siblings the CR-68 and CR-78.
