Bucket Pops: Bring the Classic Rhythm of the KORG Mini Pops-7 to Life
Discover Bucket Pops by Full Bucket Music, a virtual emulation of the legendary KORG Mini Pops-7 rhythm machine that was released back in 1966. This plugin does not just reproduce sounds, it takes you to the golden era of electronic music, allowing you to experience the atmosphere and groove that defined the sound of many classics, in particular, reminiscent of the vibes of the famous albums “Oxygene” and “Equinoxe” by Jean-Michel Jarre.
Created with attention to detail, Bucket Pops offers an authentic experience with vintage equipment, but with all the convenience of a modern digital format. Developed on the basis of native C++ code, the plugin delivers exceptional performance and extremely low CPU consumption, making it an ideal choice even for complex projects.
