"The Mirage is a famous sampler with a fantastic gritty sound with tons of life to it, there are analog filters, keyboard split, and some other really powerful and unique features. Samples can be saved and loaded via floppy as well as recorded in through the 1/4" input. There is also an on board sequencer.

This DSK-1 is the last version they produced. This sale includes a boot disk with stock piano sounds on it."

  1. I bought a dsk-8 3 weeks ago "as is" condition. The only thing wrong was a couple of missing fuses on the power supply board. I also installed a Gotek drive with the Ensoniq sample library and will never give it up. :)

    1. What are the fuse ratings? I got one with all sorts of weirdly sized and shaped fuses, different values.

    2. This *might* help (not sure if they are the same ratings though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=538KCNwSwic
