Basic Use of PARIS
(I'll just throw some basics down and organize when we have enough info to justify it).
There are multiple ways to launch PARIS. The first is to launch the application directly. This can be done either from its icon in the PARIS application folder, from a shortcut (say on your desktop) or from the Start menu.
All three are functionally identical -
- during startup PARIS will look in its own root folder for a project named Default Project.ppj; if it finds it then it loads that project. This is designed so that you can customize that project with your own favorite configurations (say with pre-labeled track names corresponding to your preferred tracks or preamps, a plate reverb set up on AUX 1, AUX 8 patched to EXTERNAL as a headphone mix and a folder full of "click" sounds for metronomes; the Default Project.ppj can be as complex as you like).
- if PARIS can't find a file named Default Project.ppj, it will create a new, "vanilla" project from scratch
- PARIS cannot have more than one song open at a time (ie if you want to open another song, PARIS will prompt you to save the one you're working on and then close it)
- if booting PARIS this way ever fails, keep in mind that under some circumstances your Default Project.ppj can become corrupted or damaged. To troubleshoot this possibility, pull Default Project.ppj out of the PARIS folder and then reboot PARIS - if it boots normally you may have located the problem.
To record-arm a track:
- hold down the "track select" button at the top of whichever track you want to arm (you can hold multiple buttons)
- tap the "record" button on the C16's transport
