2787.0. "Low budget sampler" by FASDER::AHERB (Al is the *first* name) Thu Dec 12 1991 22:02

    It is getting near xmas and I wondering if there is any sampler that is
    piced under $300 or that I can get used for under $200... All I want is
    something simple like a SK1.. I just want to be able to control atleast
    4 different samples from my K1... Does Casio make a MIDI sampler? They
    are always cheap.

2787.1I'd vote for a used Mirage..VLNVAX::ACDC::RENEno static at all..Fri Dec 13 1991 09:108
    Al,
    
            I'll bet an Ensoniq Mirage can be had used for around $300 
    nowadays. And the Mirage is a *HELL* of a lot more of a sampler than
    an SK-1. Hey, some people even *USE* Mirages !!!!   8^) 8^)

    How many samples can a Mirage hold? Is there a rack version?

    There is a rack mount Mirage.
    
    The Mirage can hold up to 16 samples at any given time, but in order
    to do so the samples must be short, about .5 seconds each. Plus, the
    16 samples must all live within the range of the keyboard. This is
    no problem if you want a sampled drum kit, or a single multi-sampled
    instrument, but don't confuse it with the ability to hold 5 octaves of
    horns AND 5 octave of strings, and a piano, and....{13 more 'ands'}.
