Hi there! I just picked up a Mirage and it is having problems with it's output. I traced the issue to something involving the NE570 chip. When I ground the...
... chip. ... This chip is a compressor (this is the one that makes the mirage sounds and compact so well). All the capacitors outside define the parameters of...
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it as well as the NE570 Sheet! I had the sheet as I was looking at it but it didn't tell me much. I know that in the...
I wrote the mdisk utility to solve this problem. It works on w2k/xp, and does exactly what you describe. It's free, available in the "Files" section of this...
Christian, I was able to find a bunch of Mirage schematics here: http://www.themusic.net/mirageservice/ But now, I'm really confused! So I replaced the NE570...

The potentiometer is a simple voltage divider that doesn't go to 0 volts because there is a 3K series resistor to Vss (ground). The wiper controls the NE570....
May 11, 2007 Hi, I have a complete Mirage sound system, and it's time to let it go. (Mirage, sounds, manuals, SoundLab software, MIDI adapter, Mac Performa...

Hi everybody, I agree with this analysis too! THANK YOU VERY MUCH Angie for your schematics link. Can I make a suggestion to the list Moderator? This link...
Hi Craig (and everybody), I just ended to backup my disks with you utility and it do's the job just GREAT. Thanks a lot! Now, I have a question that could...
Christian, A good idea to post the schematics - but being copyrighted material - so far as I know - it wouldn't be good to post them on the list's file area,...
... post ... Hello. Just write to drop a note: I'm also subscribed to a Korg M1 grupo here in Yahoo. They have the schematics in the files section for free....
Hi Ya'll, I'm moving, and so I'm on the gear-reduction plan. Had better idea's for using the Mirage, but I'm paring down to essentials. This package includes...
So, I have several Mirage racks and a couple keyboards and you'd think I'd be able to answer this question myself, but... Can anyone think of something that...
One thing comes to mind: generate key off velocity. Very few modern keyboards generate off velocity - many simply using the note-on velocity of 0 with...
... I knew you'd find something. TS-12's are fairly cheap though and that keyboard feels pretty darn good and has after-touch as well as release velocity so I...
Hi! My Name ist Victor and I'm new to this group, I just unpacked my Mirage DSK-8 which I bought through eBay ;) I got some sample disks with it, on two is OS...
Hi Victor (and everybody), It looks to me like noise originating from power supply. First, check if all voltages are OK (they are written on PS board beside...
just an fyi, I found a place that sells DSDD floppies, either still boxed for ~15eur, or a box of 50 used for ~5eur. I just bought a box of 50 for my atari,...
Hi, When I got my Mirage, I tried to find DSDD floppies me too to backup my sound disks. I did not found that in Montreal... So I have tried to use "ordinary"...
... The difference between HD and DD disks isnt a quality issue but a magnetic strength and particle issue. Sure, you *can* risk it but it'll eventually bite...
Tom's right. HD is not the same - do not use HD disk for any samples you value, which for most of us, is all of them. DSDD are not that hard to find. CDW does...
Well, that's good to know! Even if I am using the Mirage as a MIDI controller for software sampler, I value my original samples. Very convenient for party jam...
Hi Victor, After listening to your mp3 file I'm thinking the possiblity of the keyboard ribbon being incorrectly plugged in. The reason I say this is... past...
... Interesting! and I agree with that. I my fist post, I assumed that everything was correctly plugged like coming out of factory but you said that you bough...
hi everyone, I'm a new happy owner of a Mirage DSK-1. I bought it of the bay for pretty much nothing. The only drawback is that it came with no OS disk, no...
Welcome Thomas, And welcome to the recurring open source discussion (I really need to update that FAQ). The OS is not ours to "open source". It is still...
I guess you are right. I'm gonna give it a shot. I opened it today, and cleaned everything that I could. The disk drive looks ok and is hungry for that os...
