Ensoniq Mirage support

[Casuallynoted]

Hello!

I was wondering, is there any chance Edisyn might get Ensoniq mirage parameter support? Atm, modifying parameters on the Mirage is pretty tricky. It'd be neat to be able to do it intuitively in realtime - and have an easy way to load parameters back over midi. There's a software that tries to do this (WavSyn - https://github.com/mogrifier/wavsyn) but it hasn't been updated in some time and I've not had much luck with it beyond changing samples.

The main problem with developing patch editor software is that I don't have a Mirage. The easiest way to get me to add the Mirage to Edisyn is to gift me a Mirage! But as it so happens, I know the author of WavSyn: Erich Izdepski. If he owns a Mirage, in theory we could try to get something working. Though Edisyn isn't really designed to upload and download samples but rather to manipulate patches.

That's great to know tbh - I wish I could donate my Mirage but I don't know if I'd be able to get another one hahaha, it was a pretty lucky find. XD

But tbh I don't even mind if it can't upload samples - honestly even just as a parameter editor for existing samples would be a game changer. There are over 80 individual parameters and editing them on the machine itself it an experience!

(In case you're curious, here's a card with all the different parameters listed - it's wild:

Wavsyn edits patches with a visual editor and can convert audio to mirage format samples for writing to floppy. This is as of a few years ago on Windows 10. I am doing no more work on it. Erich"
