Score! Congrats!

Indeed, it's a great score! The sound is absolutely great. It has very much in common with the later model Mini Pops 7 that Jean-Michel Jarre used for his iconic song Oxygène 4. I bet that it sounds fantastic through a set of effects, but the sound on its own is already remarkably good.

I'll have to revisit that track! minipops 7 is also featured prominently as the first sound of aphex twin's syro album I am unsure what the difference is technically but if its the same family I absolutely believe it that you say the minipops 3 is a keeper!


I scored a DX7, rescued it from being destroyed. It just needed some deoxit, a new power switch, a new battery while I was at it, and then it's 3rd party OS is funny. It will say "RAM is corrupt" after you only format it. It spent a week on my bench like this while I was trying to locate this "corrupt RAM", turns out there is nothing wrong with the RAM, it just wants you to erase junk data. Why didn't they just automatically erase data a part of the "formatting" process?

I contend the DX7 has magic sounds in it, I am not personally interested in that crazy icicle bell electric piano thing its known for!

There is a programme on the BBC called ‘ The Repair Shop ‘ where they fix old things and the last episode the current keyboard player with The Stranglers brought in the original Hohner keyboard they started out with ….. nearly sure he said someone gave it to him after finding it in a builders skip…
