I actually use the Mirages all the time. A piano Mirage sound mixed with a Wavestation is the main sound I use. Also Mellotron-like string sounds. Now the Macs are another story. I have some seldom used software on some of them (Max for instance) and lots of old graphics programs

They are so dirt cheap in used shops when you find them. I think I got the rack ones for $75 each at the time. The keyboard Mirage was the ONLY keyboard/rack unit/synth I have ever bought new. I've had it for decades. Lucky for me I never learned to play on a regular keyboard and
