Found one and I need an answer asap as there are other people interested . Never fcked w/ a Mirage and I know I could find an EPS for about $150 . Is it worth it ?

that to me doesn't seem like a deal... it doesn't seem like overpriced.

I typically see those go locally for 80 bucks...

what does it come with?

that was the most difficult sampler i ever owned.

if you have the room, you should get it

@ debauch, just the board .

If that's about standard I'm figuring "fck it" . I really don't need another beast laying around so I'll hold out for someone getting rid of an EPS 16+ for a little more and way more capability .

I fcked up and let one go that was Buy It Now for $175 a couple weeks ago, it'll happen again .

Mirage < ASR-10.

Don't do it, you should kept the ASR-10 when you had it.

I wouldn't do it, it's a HUGE step backwards from what you had.

^ but you can get some disgusting sounds out of a mirage.. I would grab a rack version to save space if anything... however programming that is not something I am in the mood to do.

that's about one night out at the bar, GO FOR IT.

the mirage has some REALLY classic strings, it's a pain to edit and work with so i hear, but such an amazing sampler, and 8 bit.


Just dont go out one night, $75 is nothing.

I've had 3 Ensoniq's.

I would prefer an EPS Classic over a Mirage, even if I only used it to run drums through. $75 is worth it for the Mirage though.

ASR10 trumps both.
