Welcome to the PARIS Wiki!
This site is dedicated to information pertaining to the brilliant but now discontinued PARIS digital audio workstation (manufactured by the former Ensoniq Corporation), with an eye towards collecting all available information and lore into one central easy-to-use crosslinked location. The PARIS Wiki is a private "labour of love" user initiative; it is not in any way associated with the former Ensoniq Corporation or its heirs, nor with Intelligent Devices, former makers of PARIS software. All information here is either used with permission or believed in good faith to be in the public domain; copyright-infringing material is not to be posted here, and if you see any information which you believe to be inappropriate please notify the administrator immediately so it can be removed. The site administrator reserves the right to edit to maintain standards of substance, style and format. Malicious deletion of material, insertion of false or defamatory material, or links to illegal or offensive material, may be treated as "hacking" and reported to authorities. "Hacking" is pursued as serious crime.
Important: note that most of the things discussed on this Wiki are user generated data rather than official pronouncements. While they represent the best information the community has available, the administrators on this site are not responsible for harm you cause to yourself, to others, or to your equipment through following tips found on this site; use all information found here at your own risk.
MissStat Click here for the Statement of Purpose
The PARIS Wiki is an online reference tool intended to permit the PARIS user community to collaboratively organize tips, insights, troubleshooting and "best practices" for the remaining enthusiasts, and perhaps even new converts. Users are encouraged to add and edit pages. There is a really brief tutorial on ParisWikiTut how to edit and link and create new pages over here, the full documentation over here, and a list of FormattingRules all sorts of formatting options over here. Editing is easy; some might consider it fun, or even addictive. Administrative requests are minimal: 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.
So if you have PARIS info you feel like contributing - go for it! If you see something that you know is wrong or could be worded more clearly or contains a misused term - don't complain, log in, click twice on it and fix it!
I am greatly indebted to PARIS' voluntary archivists - DougWellington Doug Wellington, SteveDellaMaggiore Steve "ArtGuy" Della Maggiore and JohnBercik John Bercik - for their prior copious and painstaking collections from which so many of the initial entries of this Wiki have been drawn, and of course to HiddenSound Hiddensound's Kim, whose newsgroup is a treasure trove - past, present and future.
PRERELEASE: There will be a section for "needed pages" coming soon - but if the respective "advance invitees" could first complete/clean up their own entries/entries that touch on their own contributions (where relevant), that would be a great start.
