Summary: 

I have just purchased an  ENSONIQUE MIRAGE keyboard.
	This unit is a sampling keyboard (cheap Kurzweil). has a great piano
	sound. and I have a B3 sound for it. It uses small MAC-type disks and
	except for the nyquist frequency being at 14.7K it's a great instrument
	for $1700.00
	You can sample sounds, and there's an interface coming (real soon now)
	for the Apple that will allow you to vary parameters. (additive synthesis)
I'll post a full review when I've had a chance to play with it awhile. But it
sounds like it's the perfect keyboard for someone who doesn't have $11K for
a Kurzweil.  (Oh yeh, It samples at 2 secs. at full frequency response, 4 secs.
at half, and 8secs. at 1/4) I don't know if it's going to like cymbals or
pipe organs very much because of their high-frequency energy, but we'll
see.

[ Take what I say in a different way ]
[        and it's easy to say        ]
[     that this is all confusion     ]
