Mirage’s Parameters

Master Parameters

Parameters at the top level of Mirage.

NameTypeDescriptionID
VolKnobMaster volumeMastVol
VeloKnobThe amount that the MIDI velocity affects the volume of notes; 100% means notes will be silent when the velocity is very soft, and 0% means that notes will play full volume regardless of the velocityMastVel
DynKnobThe intensity of the sound. Not every instrument contains dynamics information; instruments that do will be highlighted when you click on this knob.MastDyn

MIDI
NameTypeDescriptionID
Velocity MappingKnobChoose how MIDI velocity should affect the volume of this layer. There are 6 modes that can be selected for this parameter via the buttons on the GUI. By setting one layer to be quiet at high velocities and another layer to be quiet at low velocities you can create an instrument that sounds different based on how hard the notes are played. (0) Ignore velocity, always play full volume. (1) Loudest at high velocity, quietist at low velocity (2) Loudest at low velocity, quietist at high velocity (3) Loudest at high velocity, quietist at middle velocity and below (4) Loudest at middle velocity, quietist at both high and low velocities (5) Loudest at bottom velocity, quietist at middle velocity and above,L0Vel
KeytrackSwitchTune the sound to match the key played; if disabled it will always play the sound at its root pitchL0KTr
MonophonicSwitchOnly allow one voice of each sound to play at a timeL0Mono
CC64 RetriggerSwitchWhen the sustain pedal (CC64) is held, keys that are pressed again are retriggeredL0SusRe
TransposeNumberTranspose the mapping of samples by the given semitone offset, meaning a higher/lower sample may be triggered instead of stretching/shrinking the audio by large amounts (only useful if the instrument is multi-sampled)L0Trn
