Full Bucket Music Pops v1.0.0 VST AU WIN OSX [FREE]

Bucket Pops by Full Bucket Music is a free drum machine plugin that recreates the Korg Mini Pops-7, a rhythm machine introduced in 1966. Its vintage electronic percussion suits hobby producers making retro electronica, synth-led tracks, or music inspired by the rhythmic character of Oxygene and Equinoxe.

Instead of playing back samples, Bucket Pops generates its sounds with 15 modeled drum instruments. You can adjust instrument parameters to shape the percussion and edit the rhythm sequencer to adapt patterns to your track. The included 20 original rhythms provide starting points for exploring the Mini Pops-7 style without programming every beat from scratch.

MIDI Learn lets you assign parameters to MIDI CC controls for hands-on adjustments. The plugin uses native C++ code designed for efficient performance and low CPU use, making it a practical option alongside other instruments in a project. The standard version also includes a resizable interface; the “N” version does not.

Bucket Pops is available as a 32-bit or 64-bit VST for Windows and VST/AU for macOS, covering compatible setups in FL Studio, Ableton Live, and Logic Pro.
