E-mu Emulator II
Beautiful sounding sampler, only 8 bit but analog filters (SSMs to boot!) and VCAs on every voice.

The Mirage is badass. I've got a mirage and an ESQ1. I used to save sounds and sequences from the ESQ to the mirage's disk drive via midi dumps. It was either that or back up to cassette tape.
I still get a twisted sense of satisfaction from having to punch in numbers and cycle through hex to change parameters

Twisted indeed! I tried writing an editor/librarian app for the Mirage a few years back, and it was near impossible. IIRC, the biggest stumbling block was that, even accessing parameters from MIDI, you could only move a parameter value up or down - there was no way to enter an "absolute" value for a parameter. So, if a certain parameter ranged from 0-31, and the computer didn't know where that value was sitting, and the computer also could only command "go up one" or "go down one"... the only way to do it was to zero the value every time (issue 31 "go down one" commands to make sure the value was reduced to zero) and then build it back up from zero to where you wanted it.jmiller wrote:I still get a twisted sense of satisfaction from having to punch in numbers and cycle through hex to change parameters.
Sure, that doesn't sound too hard to automate with a computer, but since the Mirage was slow to respond, you'd have to wait maybe half a second between each "go down" command, to make sure the Mirage had caught up. Multiply that by all the values for all the parameters, and a true librarian application was a mess!
