Welcome!

I am glad you are interested in Wavsyn, the only modern cross-platform audio processor and editor for the Ensoniq Mirage! Please explore this manual and if you have any feedback, my contact information is below. There is also a Discord Server, called Wavsyn, for discussing the app's use with the Mirage. Send me an email and I will invite you.

Intended use

Wavsyn is a set of tools for the Ensoniq Mirage sampling synthesizer. While some of the audio processing tools may possibly be used to create audio files (b-bit, mono files) usable in another sampler, it is not intended for that.

Wavsyn works with the Mirage keyboard or Mirage rack, as long as you are using MASOS V2 and Mirage OS V3.2. It also works with sounds on a floppy disk drive or a floppy emulator using HFE files. It has been tested with several MIDI interfaces, too. For details see Hardware Information

Overview

Wavsyn is a collection of related applications. A Mirage Program Editor and a Mirage Audio File Processor are the current applications. The editor communicates over MIDI to the Mirage and lets you program it from the Wavsyn UI and performs disk functions like save and load. It makes Mirage programming much simpler. The audio file processor works with raw audio files and converts them to formats usable in the Mirage. It can create a Mirage disk image (writable to a floppy if you have a computer that can do that), or convert disk images to the HFE format for use with a floppy emulator (such as a Gotek). Directly writing audio to a disk image eliminates the need for sampling and provides the highest quality audio possible for the Mirage.

These instructions apply to Windows, Mac, and Linux versions, except where noted. As far as I know everything will work on all supported operating systems, except HFE file creation only works on Windows.
