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.
Purpose:
While browsing available PARIS resources online recently, I came across web pages with PARIS links where fully half the links were dead. I realized the information is gradually going dark, and resolved to find a method to assemble the remaining info in one crosslinked location. This happened to coincide with a notice from my hosting service that they now supported creating your own Wiki site; voila, the PARIS Wiki was born. 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 "bang for buck" used PARS rigs deliver) perhaps even new converts. 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, getting all the tedious-to-repeat info about things like "how to configure a new PARIS install on XP" or "how to use the patchbay to make a talkback setup" written one time in one place.
Users of the PARIS Wiki are encouraged to add pages and edit existing ones. There's a brief tutorial on how to edit and link and create new pages ParisWikiTut over here; if you can work PARIS, you'll have no problem with this. It's easy, and - dare I say it? - addictive fun. I'd ask only that you try for a "technical writing" style; stick to PARIS or closely related issues; and adhere to the general principle of "NPOV"; when in doubt, go with facts over opinions, and if something is arguable, try to include both sides of the argument.
