Welcome to the PARIS Wiki!
This site is dedicated to information pertaining to the brilliant but now-defunct PARIS DAW, with a "user's perspective" eye towards collecting all available information and lore into one central easy-to-use crosslinked location.
The PARIS Wiki is a private, community-driven initiative; it is not in any way associated with the former Ensoniq corporation or with Intelligent Devices, the former makers of the PARIS software.
It would be my hope that this Wiki will evolve over time to become an online reference tool that will permit users to organize insights, tips, troubleshooting and "best practices" for the remaining enthusiasts, and considering the price point used PARS rigs sell for - perhaps even new converts.
Users of the PARIS WIKI are encouraged to add pages and edit existing ones.
I'd ask only that you make it "technical writing" style, adhering to PARIS or very closely related issues, and adhere to the general principle of "NPOV". When in doubt, go with facts over opinions - if something is arguable, ie we surmise but we don't have conclusive data (let's say whether it has analog modeling circuitry) then simply include both sides of the argument.
If there is some reasonable level of community interest (naturally bearing in mind the small size of the community) as expressed by contribution to the body of information, I will happily commit on my part to keeping this publicly available for at least the next 18 months (the duration of my current "lease" on my little place on the Internet). If the bandwidth somehow becomes drainingly high, I will let you know. I really can't see that happening.
If it turns out to be just me interested in doing it, I'll still consider a worthwhile exercise for myself, but I'll take it private. The boilerplate: as site admin, I reserve the editorial right to clean up to maintain standards of substance, format etc.
But it's my gift to the community, and what you do with it is largely up to you.
My vision for it includes things like - putting all the error codes and messages we've ever seen into one immediately searchable database (naturally including whatever we know or speculate about their causes and workarounds); exchanging "best practices" for workflow;
Tutorials on how to do this, including videos, are available here. But essentially, the process is very simple. You open a page to edit - say this front page - by clicking the "edit" button.
Now choose a topic you'd like to write a couple of paragraphs on - say, running PARIS on Win98.
If you have PARIS info you feel like contributing, go for it!
