Have not seen many of these midi files for Mirage in the sample dump standard format (only one). Other mirage waveform editors (from the 90's) use SDS for transferring edited wavesamples. The advantage I see is transferral of data without having to go through the disk image route. Sending and also constructing a disk image this way sounds interesting- more immediate.

CR_8000.MID.zip

Instructions for loading via sequencer. Probably could just pull samples out if I knew the format. This would be an alternate technique for making images, albeit a roundabout way.

There should be 1 midifile , CR_8000.MID, and this READ.ME in the
.ZIP archive. The Midifile contains all the information to load the
sounds , including wave sample select and program changes.
Before trying to send the midifiles to the Mirage it is important
to setup a few of the Midi parameters first.
First of all boot-up the Mirage with MASOS as it is required for
receiving data dumps.
The Midifile is a fully automated dump but does require that the
Mirage be set up to receive the dump data.
77 User Multi - ON
81 Omni mode - OFF
82 Midi Chan - 01
83 Thru Mode - OFF
After setting these parameters select Upper Program 1 and then
param 26 , current wave sample. Make sure it is set to 1 then
select Lower Program 1 and check that 26 is again set to 1. Leave
the LED displaying the value of param 26 - 0.1
Load the Midifile CR_8000.MID into a sequencer, check the Tempo is
set for 100 bpm and that any cycle modes are turned off - we only
want the dump to transmit once.
Once this is all done play the file to the Mirage. Once it's
finished transmittiing all the data ,a short demo of all the
sounds should play. When that is finsihed stop the sequencer
and save the sounds to Disk. Dont forget there is Data on both
the Upper and Lower sides so do a " Save All using param 13.
