Ensoniq Mirage Factory Disks I compiled this list to help me organise and label my own (muddled) collection of disks. I hope it is of use to others – please feel free to correct any mistakes I’ve made. I’m not sure of the chronology of these libraries, and my listings are not 100% complete. This does not cover 3 rd party disks . From memory, when you bought a Mirage you got two (maybe 3?) sound disks with it – these were the ones numbered 1.4, 3.2, etc. I’ve listed what I know of those. There was also a library numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. These went up to at least 23, maybe further? Again, I’ve listed what I know of those. Then a library starting 100, 101, 102. All I know for sure is the contents of 102. Finally there was a 30 disk library – A1-10, B1-10 and C1-10. I have listed these completely. As far as I can see, this library (still available at a stupid price from Syntaur as of Jan 2013) covers every library sample Ensoniq ever did for the Mirage. You’ll notice that some of the disks are duplicated, eg 12 is identical to B09. Other disks are made up from different ones – 23 is the Steel Guitar, Banjo and Fiddle from A06 with the Tremolo Mandolin from B06.
