combine them to create sound. Digital sampling keyboards such as the Mirage
generate complex waveforms based on actual sounds that have been recorded
(sampled) into memory.

the keyboard controls the pitch of the wavesample. The Mirage can
accommodate up to eight separate wavesamples per keyboard half. Since
acoustic instruments change dynamic and harmonic character with pitch, the
Mirage is capable of very accurate reproduction.

PARAMETERS
Program Selects (01, 02, 03, 04)
These parameters are used to select one of the four programs assigned to each sound on each
keyboard half. You must first press the 0/PROG button which will display the current program
number and the keyboard half it is assigned to. Pressing the 0/PROG button again will display
the program number of the other keyboard half. When sounds are loaded, Program 1 is
automatically selected.
11/Save Lower Keyboard Sound (SL)
12/Save Upper Keyboard Sound (SU)
13/Save Both Keyboard Sounds (SA)
Command parameters that will tell the Mirage that you wish to save the current keyboard sound
on diskette. The saving process will require you to press 1, 2 or 3 on the SELECT keypad to
indicate the location on the diskette that you wish the sound transferred to. Pressing ENTER will
initiate the saving process. Pressing CANCEL will abort the procedure and return the Mirage to
its previous status, with the SAVE command parameter selected.
14/Save Configuration Parameters (SP)
This command parameter will permit you to save your own configuration parameters in place of
the default values. The values saved on diskette will be those of parameter #'s 21 through 25, 30,
73 through 79, 81 through 89 and 91 and 92. You can change the values of any of the parameters
listed above on a diskette. The next time you turn the Mirage on, "boot" it from that diskette (put
that diskette in the drive). The Mirage will take its operating system from the diskette, with the
modified parameter values in place. This way you can make customized operating systems for
different occasions.
