All the sound information is now in the hardware memory.
You can now play the sound as loaded or proceed to modify it
using any of the playback parameters.
CHANGING PROGRAMS AND KEYBOARD HALVES
Each sound loaded into the Mirage memory carries four distinct parameter programs along with
it. Programs, as defined here are very similar to "patches"
set of playback parameters (volume and filter envelopes, filter cutoff frequency, chorusing, etc.)
through which the sampled sound is played back. Those programs will always be based on the
sound data in the memory. For example, the four programs of the piano sound will all sound
different, but they are all simply different ways of processing the piano samples themselves.
We use the program parameters to tailor the sound for playback, to shape its volume and timbral
dynamics - either to match those of the original sound or to create entirely new effects, such as
chorusing, filter resonance, layering, etc. To see how much difference the programs can make,
try loading a few of the sounds from the diskettes that came with y
different programs, as shown below.
Here's the procedure for changing programs.
