Interesting video - brought back many memories. I worked at Ensoniq starting in 1984 - they were fun years. That first Mirage was a groundbreaking keyboard and it required a different skill set than synthesizers of that era. The hexadecimal display confounded many, but it wasn't too hard to learn. Mirage owners were eager to learn about the internal wavesample memory. Eventually, I published a technical article for Mirage owners. My wavesample segmentation article helped hundreds of Mirage owners better understand how to partition the internal wavesample memory to multiple keyboard zones.

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis used the Mirage on Janet Jackson's "Control" and "Rhythm Nation" albums! The clunky metallic bass sound on "Nasty" was "Rack Bells" from the Mirage Factory Library layered with an Oberheim OB-8 bass sound, and the horn blasts on "When I Think Of You" were also from the Mirage library. They also used the factory Snare Roll sound on the intro to New Edition's "If It Isn't Love" (as well as the Rack Bells bass and Kalimba).

This keyboard was such a game changer when it first came out....the first digital sampler that was even remotely affordable for young struggling musicians back in the '80's.

I remember the day I first heard the Mirage at my local music store. A guy was playing that piano sound and I was stunned at how full and real it sounded. Then he released the sustain pedal and the sound stopped so abruptly, reminding me that this wasn't acoustic, it was digital! I felt I'd just witnessed the future.

I had one back in the late 90's. Same model, build (and heavy) as a tank. It was a cheap way for me to play live with samples with my band. I used the acoustic and electric piano quite a lot. One of my favourite sounds was one I made from the string samples (soft attack) with filter and resonance. There was also a monophonic mode. Interesting because, when you played legato, the looped sample would play continuously, not restarting on each keypress.

Two of the creators of this synth is Albert Charpentier and Robert Yannes, and both worked as chip designers at Commodore before starting Ensoniq. While Charpentier was a graphics chip developer, Yannes was the creator of the famous SID chip for the Commodore 64 which still today is used by many hobby musicians looking for the old chip sound.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that's "giddy" about the Mirage. I bought a Mirage DSK back in the 80's for $1100.00 from Guitar Center. My farvorite diskette (Sound Disk 100) is the one with: 1.Acoustic Piano, 2.Ah Voices, and 3.Bowed Strings. That piano sound alone is my fave!! It reminds me of The Beatles at Abbey Road in the 60's. I'm not a fan of modern day "perfect" piano samples.This has a certain character that is so unique, like a piano recorded in the 60's. The piano sound punches through in a mix - perfect. My Mirage still works to this day, including the sustain pedal!! I believe the keybed is made by Fatar. So, it has a feel similar to a Hammond organ. I know, because I owned a Hammond M3 back in the 70's - 80's. Recently, my favorite diskette #100 died, and I searched the internet for a replacement. After about a year, I found "syntaur.com". I paid around $100 for a set of 10 disks. I only wanted the one disk. I called them and they said they can't sell me just 1 disk. So, I paid the full price just for the 1 disk. Well worth it!! I love it!!

Such a great, physical, characterful, tangible sound. Certainly beats the shit out of any software sampler, including the ones that try to emulate DACs etc. The sound of those old hardware units is a different thing altogether, and for me, besides making a HUGE difference at the mixing stage, it has a different emotional impact. And that's more important than anything else.
