>Hi Mike,
Your effort here is beyond what anyone expects.
I have a question for you on this new Scherzo driver.
Will 1.31 work efficiently with a single core system? Is
there any benefit for those older boxes? Just curious.
Next week I will give it all a go. I can't wait to dive into
a crazy fast computer and make it work flawlessly.

>Hi All,
I think the driver is ready for prime time. Thank you so much to everyone
who tested the driver and reported back their results. I have to admit that
I haven't kept a list of who that is. If you beta tested either the PSCL
or the Scherzo, please send me an email (mike at mikeaudet dot com), and
I'll send you a release build of the driver. The release build has a couple
of additional bugs fixed, and it's compiled in a way that is faster and uses
less RAM (because there is no debugging code). I don't want anyone who helped
make this happen to have to pay for the driver.
Some may think I should just give the driver away. But, I'm a new teacher
living paycheque to paycheque, and I don't think it's fair that I should
be working for free. I've revamped ensoniq.ca, and I'll be adding more audio
samples over the holidays. It should allow downloads without waiting for
me to send an email. I'll be starting a google adwords campaign to get the
word out to PARIS users who don't come here. With a little luck, I'll get
a Grace m101 out of the thing.
My next steps are helping Kerry out with his mirror site and getting the
ASIO driver updated - I'm aiming for low latency and 24 bit.
Thanks again to everyone.
Cheers! We did it!
MikeHey Mike
I plan to upgrade both my machines to multicore rigs in the new year and you
can count on my financial support.
