Description: One of the smallest autokomp drum machines in the studio. It´s the smallest in the minipop line which seems to have been pretty popular or at least Jean Michel Jarre used a mini pops on one of his albums which has meant that they have become collectible for Jarre fans. I got it this last summer while I was in New York and I have so far only used it on the Vijaya track " End of love street " and then it didn´t survive to the mix. I like it. But I haven´t been doing too much autokomp recordings lately.

I think I have read somewhere that Keio is pre-korg but I am not sure so don´t quote me on that.

Watch Keio drumming away. Yeah.. the machine actually moves!
