Overview

Korg's mini rhythm machine is a compact drum pattern player with a built-in speaker, performance pads for programming beats and a chain function that strings patterns and fills into songs.

The reason to buy is an instant drummer for solo practice: ready patterns and fills plus pads for programming your own grooves. The limit is that this version carries no warranty and the battery details are unlisted.

Who it's for

A guitarist, bassist or keyboard player practicing alone who wants more feel than a metronome gives. Anyone who requires warranty protection or documented sound sets should look at the standard version.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Chain function for songs
  • Runs on batteries
Cons
  • No warranty on this version
  • Footswitches sold separately

Performance notes

Velocity-sensitive pads respond to how hard they are struck, so programmed grooves sound more natural. The chaining function links patterns and fills into a whole song. Footswitches can start and stop playback or trigger fills on the fly.
