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...
Hello all, I just picked up a rackmount Mirage for a song and have spent the last few weeks waiting on my OS disks to come in the mail. They finally arrived...
Odd. "ud" means unformatted disk and essentially means that the Mirage is not finding a bootable OS on the disk - so it could be the drive, could be the...
I happened to have two spare shugart 720K floppy drives in an old Tandy that hasn't seen use in a long while. I'm a bit handy with this sort of thing so I...
Hey there, I have a dead mirage. it is free to the first person that will pay shipping or come out to Marshall, North Carolina (or Asheville, NC where I work)...
Hi Tony, I would be interested in your broken Mirage if shipping cost is not too expensive. Those keyboard are not scars in Canada neither... I live In ...
Hi group. I have an old Ensoniq Mirage, which needs a new power transformer to get it back up and running again. It's been in the shed for several years, but...
If these are the flat, square, black buttons (sorry, never owned a S&S ... are giving you trouble, you might just try using them. A lot. As I recall, they...
Does anyone have one they can copy for me? I have no probs paying shipping on it, I just want to get a bunch of sounds going on my Mirage at the same time! I...
... shed ... again and ... front ... All the ... mine has ... Spell ... some ... any ... I have posted a photo of the buttons in the "Mirage pix" photo album ...
It's difficult to tell from that picture what sort of buttons these are, except that they're definitely not the original DSK-8. What's the serial number? -jk...
The info plate on the back of the unit says the following: MUSICAL INSTRUMENT Model DSK-8 Ser. No. 703336 230V 55VA Hammond Suzuki Ltd. Made In Japan #27 See...
Looks pretty clear to me that these are the plastic membrane type buttons featured on a lot of cheap gear at the time. Such as the Casio CZ1000 and Prophet...
