"- Ensoniq Mirage DMS-8 Digital / Analog Hybrid Multi Sampler with OS & Format Disks -This particular Mirage is in good condition for its age: The disk drive loads as expected, all buttons work, the display is bright, and MIDI is responsive. The original rack ears and a power cable will be included.
Also included are the following disks to get you up and running out of the box:
MASOS - advanced sampling operating system which adds a lot of highly useful functionality
OS V3.2 - the last basic operating system officially released
FMT V2 - a program which allows the Mirage to format fresh disks.
It's an often heard misconception that the Mirage is just a sampler, but there's actually a lot more to it - you can also approach it as a 16 oscillator, 8 voice polysynth with the classic "American" sound. There are few synths or samplers that approach the Mirage's warmth and character.
It features highly textured 8-bit sampling as your oscillator source (2 per voice), analog 24db / 4 Pole Curtis CEM low-pass filters, independent 5 stage VCA and filter envelopes with dynamic control via velocity, key sensitivity or key tracking.
Loading single cycle waveforms from other synths opens up a seemingly unlimited palette of sound design potential.
Of course it also excels on drum sampling duties - both single hits and loops are instantly given that authentic old school grit and punch that is often missing from more modern production tools."
