r6stu · 04 October 2005, 10:36

Has anyone got one of these or used one?

I would love to get my hands on one of them!!

EmuChicken · 04 October 2005, 11:22

a Miracle? ... what?

huh?!

Jope · 04 October 2005, 11:37

Try eBay.. :-)

I saw adverts for those in magazines back in the day, but never heard of anyone actually having one.

Oh and a Miracle is a computerised piano teaching system.

Just saw a Miracle keyboard for Amiga during my morning trawl of eBay. It's in Australia... but I suppose it doesn't matter if you want it bad

PayPal accepted.

I have one sitting in my attic {which by the way is fully floored & cielinged NO DUST }

But let me assure you that allthough it works perfectly it is No replacement for a dedicated FUll 16 channel midi board as its instrument banks & channels DON'T line up to standard midi & subsequently CANNOT play standard midi tracks.

Blue Ribbon who made the system made no further updates to its custom music teaching system so it must surely be of collectors value only, as while it helps beginners learn piano it is certainly NO advanced system except for its presure sensitive keys. {these days standard on £75 yamaha boards }
I have all the disk software & all three manuals as well , I am also in the UK in Manchester

If you require further info then MARKETPLACE is the right area to ask

or PM me

Blue Ribbon did not make the Miracle Piano Tutor. It was released by Mindscape. Blue Ribbon made Bars & Pipes and Superjam.

woody57 · 10 October 2005, 18:10

As I look at the CREDITS PAGE of the the AMIGA users guide for the keyboard it states

"Amiga design implementation by The Blue Ribbon Soundworks,ltd" as at the time of its release the Amiga model also came with a cartridge to run it on the NES

Indeed MINDSCAPE have the OVERALL credit for its introduction Fromwithin

But according to what later occured with the product, reports as I recall stated that Blue Ribbon would be responsible for any updates.

Now unless there were two blue ribbon teams I can only quote whats in the manuals

How weird....I must investigate.

FromWithin · 10 October 2005, 19:15

By the looks of things, The Sotware Toolworks created the thing in the first place. Blue Ribbon may have ported the Amiga version. I need to find out now or I'll go mad.

Looks like your one was cheaper than the one in Kola's thread : http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=486221&postcount=19

Maybe the whole thread will come in handy once you have it

jabsy · 28 December 2008, 16:02

I've got one of these lying around, my kids used to play it until the wifey scored a full-size keyboard for herself/them.

dlfrsilver · 09 January 2009, 20:36

Ahhh i got my miracle keyboard. I lack 1 main manual and the cable.....

I'll hope an amiga guy who owns it will scan his manual... i will make the cable, since

Pyromania · 10 January 2009, 03:13
