THE FRONT PANEL
The Mirage control panel contains a logical array of multi-function buttons and a status display
that will show you all you need to know about what's going on inside the Mirage at any given
time.
Many modern digital and digital/analog synthesizers utilize a multi-function control panel, so
you may already be familiar with its use. If not, you will find that you'll adapt to the concept
rather quickly and will soon be breezing across the panel like an expert.
The following sections of the manual will give you detailed instructions on how to use the panel
for specific functions. Here is a general description of the controls and their function.
1. CONTROL
This section of the panel contains the display and controls parameter values, switching
functions and commands.
2. Display
This display is alpha-numeric, that is, capable of displaying letters as well as numbers. When
sampling, the display also functions as a peak level indicator. The PARAMETER APPENDIX
contains all the specific information about reading and interpreting the display. A flashing
display means that the Mirage is asking you a question or telling you something is wrong.
3. Param
Pressing this button will show you which parameter is selected and ready to be adjusted. The
number of the selected parameter can be changed using the SELECT keypad.
4. Param Indicator
When this LED is lit, the display is showing a parameter number.
