A special RAMOS formatting disk is used to make up the sound disks in order to use the Megabank. With this unit installed you can have 3 entire sound disks...
When plugged into the Sequencer Port/Expansion port on the back of the unit, it will increase the internal memory so that three diskettes worth of sounds...

thanks for the info! I already have the formatting disk so... if i download wave files on my mac... what is the process by which i get them into the mirage? I...
... No, you may transfer the samples over MIDI to the Mirage. If you want too... it's not fast. The Mirage sends the samples in nybbles (only 4 bits of the...
Oh no. A full bank (there are two, upper and lower) takes a several seconds. The bit rate of MIDI is 44.1k baud that means 4,410 bytes per second (ten...
... actually midi is 31250kbps. Now, why such a weird non-power-of-two clock rate? Cheap crystal plus cheap uart. Makes coding microcontroller midi apps a...
Ah yes! That's why the numbers didn't turn out. (44.1 is of course the number of k-samples in standard S/PDIF - CD audio, etc.). I hadn't had my coffee yet. ...
I just ordered my mirage and I'm extremely excited to receive it in the mail. A local store was having a closeout and I picked it up for dirt cheap. : ) ...
Yeah - I should really write up a better overview of this for the FAQ. You'll need, at the very least, a copy of MirageOS 3.2. You'll almost certainly want a...
Hello group! In case you are wondering about the MIDI baud rate, it was designed to be on a separate rate than standard RS-232 serial communication rates...
Very vague heads up: Just passing thru Richmond VA, I saw a Mirage rackmount today in Candyland Music. (Dunno the street--very close to VCU, Fan District) ...

... Actually, according to Tom Oberheim, 31250 was chosen because of cheap crystals and a commonly available cheap UART ( whose number elludes me right now but...
MIDI 'bitbanging' I don't first-hand know any of the designers of the MIDI standard, so I can't defray Mr. Oberheim's explanation. But I can point out that 1)...
Joel I do not know if you were into electronics when MIDI was developed. I was. 'bitbanging' was a MAJOR PITA (Pain In The A..). You could not just go to...
Larry - thanks! My recollection was that RS-422 and the others were in development at the time and expensive. This has been a fun trip down memory lane and...
