description: tly appreciated. Can't wait to get my hands on the ASIO driver and put Paris hardware and Reaper software through their paces and as I will be using it only for mixing, latency should be pretty well a non issue I have not tried..But, I really don't think Paris needs VTM or VCC. Paris's mixer and recording alogs already adds that (3D)effect. I have checked this things, but the digital noise won*t disappears. I have to root in patchbay some different way to have no d-noise. I cannot use the 8 analog inputs with a root on the mixer.Amazing what you are doing! My new win 7 box is waiting and ready! I did some reading through the buffer scheduling part of the PSCL yesterday, and I think I found a mistake in it that once fixed, will allow for much lower latency. The code assumes that there has been no processing delay, and I'm going to change that. Basically, a buffer gets linked after the previous buffer, but there is no check to see if the previous buffer is already done playing. If it has, the hardware never sees the new buffer. This becomes a problem when the PARIS hardware is still initializing. Reaper sends the Play message before the MEC is done getting started, so there are delays very early on in the process - before any real audio is playing - that mess things up. I'm hoping to try a fix out tomorrow on my daughter's nap. As for using PARIS on a laptop, magma has a solution, and so does virtua via. I've had mixed results with the virtua via, but others report good results with Intel chipsets. <

description: use MEC outputs 1 & 2 - the "Main" outs - at all. TedHi Will, are you running PT9 and Paris as well? I have to use PT here in Atlanta but I prefer PARIS. I'm just wondering if they will lock up together like PARIS and Reaper will? If not I'll jump to a PARIS/Reaper setup with PT9 there for compatibility with the outside world. Hi, Never tried that ! Thanks for knowing... Regards, DimitriosI use the Main pair to feed the artist's headphone amp (a Behringer PowerPlay) so I can mute the monitors in the control room or solo a track for closer inspection while recording a take without interfering with it.The ADAT module 9 pin sync works well for me with my Frontier Dakota card in a separate box running Cubase. I also transfer VSTi audio into Paris. Cubase slaves to Paris brilliantly.I use Paris as my master and a Dakota card as the interface and it works beautifully using ASIO Positioning ProtocolAnother Reaper with HDSP9652 slaved to Paris ADAT here, very solid.Are any of you guys running PARIS on a Mac or are you on Windows? I'm wondering if my problems are Mac OS 9.2 related and if I can expect better ADAT module performance when I switch to XP. Hi, Colin. I believe (from my readings on this subject), that PARIS ADAT sync doesn't work in MAC OS. You are migrating to XP. as i understand it. So if you have an ADAT module in your Paris rig, and either one of the old RME cards, or, like myself, a Frontier Dakota card with the 9 pin Adat interface, You'll be SWEET!! Thanks Kim. That's the impression I got from reading some old posts. Do you use the PARIS ADAT module to send audio via lightpipe to another PC with the Dakota (or RME HDSP52) card in it? Running another application such as Reaper or Cubase or Nuendo? I would be very pleased if I could synch 2 PC's together and transfer data in real time between PARIS and Reaper or Cubase. Can you do that via the ADAT module with 2 x PC's running XP? Hi Colin. Not sure whether this is the scenario you envisage. I have a separat…

description: br /> I'll start a new thread about this once I get the PSCL scheduling fix done. Cheers! Mike Digital noise? Are they pops or clicks? if so my first thought was power supply in your computer. If it's a crackly-white noise sound then that could be anybody's guess my $0.02 CAD @ 50% offDoes anyo

description: that on my mind for the rebuild of the PARIS effects subsystem. That's the next stop after I get the ASIO done. All the best! Mike Not to get ahead of the game but did I just hear VSTi's in PARIS for the first time????? Mike....you are above and beyond!Well, this could take some time, but yes, I'd like to see that. I have to decompile the ensoniq written effects subsystem to assembly language and figure out how it works. Once I've got that done, I'll be in a position to write a new one in c++, and that's where things can get interesting. Now, this is going to take some time. It's a big, big, ambitious project. Some might call it crazy. But, I really love PARIS, and I want to see it happen. I've already read a huge book on assembly language and tested some decompilers. It's started. I always think

description: ings that a) are available for free, or b) aren't available for love or money otherwise. (E.g., the PARIS executables.) Doing a web search, I couldn't find a place to pay Chris for the drivers, which is the only reason I offered them. I don't know if he's charging for them or not. But don't short-change the guys who are the only thing that have kept us relevant in the past 12 years - they're the only ones who who continue to do so in the future. (And I, for one, want them to have EVERY incentive to keep doing what they're doing!!) mattceltHey Dan It looks from your pic you need to cross over your larger 16 pin ribbon cables (A and B) C-----C A-----B B-----A C1 C2 Slot A is at rear of card and is the larger connector. It must cross over to B on 2 Card 2 and likewise B on Card 1 crosses over to A on card 2 Keep red stripe all to rear or all to front it doesn't matter which as long as all the same direction. Any old IDE Cable will work. Just peel the appropriate number of wires for the cable you are to make. I have made them myself no problems. Connectors here http://www.pacificcable.com/More_Pages/IDEIDHCon/IDE-Ribbon- Cable-Connector.html Important if you make them to have the connector orientated properly so that the polarization indicator on the connector is facing same direction in relationship to red stripe (or however you mark it)on both ends of completed cable. imajonAmazing! Go MIKE Go! My new Win 7 system is waiting and ready! Next step will be to move the ha

description: br /> Mike's even recommended them as being slightly more efficient on single processor systems, in a theoretical sense, than his own. He's being modest, of course. Mike's drivers are better for two reasons (neither one a negative reflection on Chris' work). First, Mike supports them, even spending hours on the phone getting people's systems up and running when necessary. Outside us, there's no support for Chris' drivers. And second, Mike's drivers killed a lot of bugs, any one of which could have caused enough problems that you could kiss the time saved by that theoretical efficiency advantage goodbye. Let's dispel some fantasies here. Mike's not a card-carrying member of "The Power". Mike's a guitarist, teacher and PARIS fan in Canada who taught himself to write code from the ground up to see if he could tackle some problems in our aging PARIS rigs. He's got a wife and a kid, this isn't his job but his hobby, and $50 from every PARIS fan in the world wouldn't pay him McDonalds wages for the hours he's put in. He's a hero here and I look forward to even cooler achievements in the future. As far as "staff" here, the staff is me, Kerry Galloway, a bassist and PARIS fan in Vancouver Canada. I don't do advertising, I don't sell data, and I don't solicit donations; I built this site (and the Wiki) for free and I host it at my own expense. Because I think PARIS is pretty cool. It's really time to let go of that antiquated "PARIS user screwed by the power" hooey. It's not like it ever did anyone any favors. If you want to do some good for PARIS, think fresh - put that energy into something more constructive like filling in some of the myriad blanks on the Wiki.Matt, good on ya! I'll host, whatcha got?Hey Matt! Yes I removed them, because I needed the space on dropbox. The thing is I don´t have an internet connection at home at themoment but I try to find an opportunity to drop you the files as soon as I can.

description: t mix buss saturation thing going on. He explained to me the 64 bit word length of his system and the much added headroom with that. Though not exactly the same as what Paris does but combined application would be amazing. Can't wait for the ASIO Driver that sees all the I/O of Paris Configuration That is huge! ESP2 Processor PDF File for geeks out there! http://watchmykidspc.com/ESP2.pdfAgree. Mike is keeping us up to date. 1st with multi-core driver and now with his 64 bit work. Also his reverbs are sweet. He has earned compensation in my view.THX !! It runs. But there is only one Problem left. One CS16 is only runnig. I tried the 2 RJ45 of the 2 EDS at both Cs16 one runs every time, but the other don't runs. My both systmes are Ensoniq Paris and the other is Emu Paris Pro. At the Ensoniq Paris CS16 is blinking the Dim LED. The other one PAris Pro CS16 not when i connected every RJ45 Cable. I believe one of the CS16 is damaged. Got someone have this Problem too ??? If one of the CS16 damaged ? Hi, a question and excuse me if it is off topic . Will it ever be possible to use the c16 (at least some basic functions: faders, mute and solo, master volume, play, record, etc) with Reaper after the driver is ready and finished? I think that is a fantastic idea! I'm not sure what ability reaper has to access a MIDI controller, but I'm going to see if I can send the C16 commands to a MIDI driver. Apparently Doug Wellington (I think) has a box designed and built for this.The nice thing about doing this in the ASIO driver is that the PSCL is already loaded. I just have to do some digging to find out exactly how the PARIS app gets notified of the changes and hook in the same way. I think adding this is a great idea.If working CS16 led blinks when connect to card a or b but the CS16 Pro dosen't when connected to a or b then Id say it IS the Pro CS16 that has the issue.Wow, supercool!! Looks like Paris is ready for a new life ! Reborn ! Have you checked and/or unchecked the C16P…
