Probably a hold over from remembering when Altiverb was Mac only. Getting
older sucks sometimes, heh.
FXpansion is a directx~VST adaptor. Either versions 3.3 or 3.0 work with
Paris.
I believe it's been posted here before and I expect if you put up a usable
email address somebody he

I thought I was. I conceived this notion during a paranoid moment during
an acid trip back in the early 70's when I decided that nuclear testing was
going to start a interdimentional chain reaction that would eventually cause
our sun to explode. Of course, I then proceeded to write it all down and
turn it in as a mini thesis for a political science class I was taking at
the time......then I sobered up.
I was embarrassed about this until I saw the last few minutes of Men In Black,
which totally vindicated me.
;)Hi folks. Hereıs one of a series of updates/info posts (and - brace
yourselves - some action requests) which Iıll be putting in separate posts.
Iıve been working on some basic infrastructure that I reckon we need to
support any forward motion. Blog/wiki/networking/development rig are
certainly part of that infrastructure but we also had a serious need for
hard info - things like current community size and composition etc. If we
want to tell outside developers who we are as a community, we better know
who we are first, and I had the suspicion that my "spitball" guesstimates
weren't doing us much justice.
Now, Iım not trained in data collection and analysis but I do fine at
research and detective work, and what I lack in skills I cheerfully
supplement with grunt work. I wanted to share one of the results of that
basic research with you all.
Iıve seen the question ³how big is the PARIS community?² asked several times
before. As far as I know we never got a definitive answer. We've now got a
fairly firm "floor" for the size of the current PARIS user community. It
stands at an eye-opening (at least to me) 125 current users - and rising, so
if anything thatıs an undercount. Mike Audet and I have independently come
