The PARIS Blog

A "post official development" blog for users of (or even for those who fondly remember) that rare and beautiful beast - the late-nineties Ensoniq PARIS Digital Audio Workstation, a unique blend of hardware and software that can still to this day hold its head up amongst its peers for "what comes out of the speakers". Be sure to read the Welcome post as it's assumed you've read it and understood it. Have fun! 

NEW (Q4 '08): After a lengthy testing process, new drivers for PARIS are now available for purchase from Mike Audet's site!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Introducing the ParisForums!

It's been a year long journey since the decision was made to boost PARIS' web profile and kick-start external development by launching a PARIS Internet forum.  Today we're proud to announce the launch of the ParisForums, the Internet's premiere source for Ensoniq PARIS info, where you'll find years of archives and in-the-moment tech support as well as some exciting plans for future development.

Historically, the heart of the PARIS community is on USENET; achieving sync with the old (but surprisingly active) PARIS USENET group was a key technical hurdle. Few forum or BBS softwares can integrate with USENET nowadays, but with the help of FUDForum's Frank Naude the final barriers were overcome last month and the PARIS Forums and the PARIS NG are now fully synchronized in realtime.

 Come on in, and enjoy!

The Ensoniq PARIS Blog proudly welcomes Mike Audet!

*update 04/06/08 - Mike's plugin installation guide now available in Acrobat format (112k pdf)

This blog is extremely pleased to announce its very first frontpage contributor, a name familiar to all - the redoubtable Mike Audet, to whom we're extremely grateful for "taking up the torch" of 3rd-party PARIS FX development, passed on by Chuck Duffy's "Chunkworks".

Look for Mike's posts on development and FX issues starting in June.

And to kick his residency off with an extremely fresh "scoop" - fresh as in today - Mike just might have some extremely interesting news soon. And no, it's not about a new plugin on the drawing board.

It's about a discovery he's made concerning an annoying little peculiarity of PARIS', a peculiarity so old and so ingrained (and so presumably unfixable) that working around it has become habit, and we've all pretty much forgotten about it, considering it to be "just part of the fabric of the PARIS universe".

In Mike's hands - maybe not.

Stay tuned. And once again - welcome, Mike - take a bow!
