An evolution of Mirage

What began as Mirage 3 has grown into something more ambitious. We've been hard at work on restructuring the project ready for future expansion. The first release of Floe adds support for new plugin formats, introduces a new sample library system, and enables seamless library installation. We have many more plans for the future.

Guaranteed seamless transition

We’re not abandoning Mirage libraries: quite the opposite — they will fully work in Floe and benefit from its new features. You won’t have to buy anything new or 'migrate'. Floe will pick up exactly where Mirage left off. Mirage will no longer be developed.

In the future, we will update our Mirage libraries so that they can take advantage of Floe’s new sample library format.

Why the new name?

The project has taken a new direction and so we decided to give it a new name.

  • Floe is not necessarily tied to FrozenPlain. It’s a separate project that’s open to anyone — we want to encourage growth of Floe without being tied to a specific company.
  • Floe is free and open-source, whereas Mirage is closed-source.
  • Mirage is already the name of a hardware sampler from the 80s — we want to avoid confusion.
