General
The Korg KR Mini drum machine is very literally a pocket-drum buddy. Spit beats wherever you happen to be with this super-compact, easy to use drum machine from Korg. Built like a 90s games console, this little piece of fun is packed with drum rhythms. Any street performers, solo singer-songwriters or whoever else might need a beat will get a lot of joy out of the company of the handy little KR Mini.
Characteristics of the KR Mini
Despite its compact dimensions and remarkable price, the Korg KR Mini has a lot to offer. This drum machine is easy to operate and immediately accessible. The Chain function connects up selected rhythm patterns and fills to create an entire songs, while an optional footswitch allows for handsfree start/stop/fill control. Easily create your own drum patterns (up to six in total) or select a preset pattern (up to 54). It has an ample, built-in 2 Watt speaker and can run happily on three AA batteries or an optional power supply. If 2 Watts of power is not quite enough, a set of speakers can be connected to the KR Mini and there's also a headphone port for beat-composing on the bus.

Wel even goed de gebruiksaanweizing lezen want er zitten zoveel mogelijkheden op.
een dikke 10
Perfect voor als je het eentonige geluid van een metronoom zat bent.
Hij is misschien klein, maar ik ben zeer tevreden over het geluid wat dat kleine speakertje produceert.
Ook zijn er zat drum beats en fills die je kunt gebruiken, en je kunt zelf ook je drum beats componeren en opslaan.
Er is een aux aansluiting aanwezig waarmee je hem kan aansluiten op je versterker, voor als de interne speaker niet meer volstaat.
Helaas zit er geen schermpje op waar je het tempo kan zien, en dit is meteen ook het enige nadeel wat ik kan bedenken bij dit apparaat.
De samples zijn niet van de hoogste kwaliteit, daarvoor moet je deze Korg KR minidrumcomputer ook echt niet kopen. Maar voor iemand die dat getik van de ouderwetse metronoom zat is, is dit een prima oplossing en het maakt het oefenen een stuk leuker!
A déconseiller ...
Nadelen Korg Mini:
-De geluidskwaliteit valt mij tegen. Het is te doen; echt realistisch klinkt het niet.
-De tempo-knop geeft een indicatie van het tempo (stand van de knop); dus dat blijft schatten/luisteren. Er is geen display met het tempo.
-Ook bijv. een 3/4-maat zal je niet snel vinden.
Na verder zoeken kwam ik uit bij de BeatsBuddy Mini. Ook via Bax. Deze heeft:
-realistische drumgeluiden
-display met tempo, genre en maatsoort (ook 3/4, 6/8, etc.)
-makkelijk in gebruik d.m.v. enkele knoppen
-led lampjes met indicatie intro/outro, fill, transition
De BeatsBuddy Mini heeft dus geen speaker, maar zit heel slim in elkaar.
