Yes. Getting an EDS1000 should be a very high priority for the following reason:

You can run VST and DX plugins, with limitations - they can only be inserted on channel strips (they can't be used on auxes) and you have to be selective about which ones you run - development on the VST/DX subsystems is fixed in time at 2001 technology. EDS 500s can't run EDS FX at all AFAIK.

Don't know if this has anything to do with your issue, but instead of Main L + R connecting to the 442's 1 and 2, try connecting mL and mR (monitor Left and Right) there instead.
"Main" is meant to be an output to a master 2-track, or a house mix; "monitor" is meant to be just that - output for you to monitor. Things like "solo" don't affect "Main" (eg you can solo a track while you're printing a mix and your "Mains" remain unaffected). I use mL+mR in the studio to hook my monitors to and L+R to feed other sources.
If that fails, eliminate the (slim) possibility of having two dead outputs by re-patching to 442's output 3 and 4. Check using your headphones too.

I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable about the 442, I've never had anything but MECs. I suppose you've already completely eliminated dead cables as a possibility?

All I can think of right now is to clean the edge connectors of the EDS card with contact cleaner and re-seat it in the PCI slot (it is a decade old) and do the same for the cable connections between EDS and 442. Hopefully anyone who might have seen this behaviour before can chime in, and I'll get it Wiki'd.

Yikes - I missed this part completely:

i will be running it on windows xp

and
Quote: | got the system up and running today.
it was easier than i thought

Which XP drivers are you using? Just in case this wasn't made clear - you know PARIS was never intended to run on XP "out of the box" using the supplied drivers, and the XP drivers (later additions coded by the community) have to be downloaded and installed separately, right?
You can track the originals down here, or buy Mike's excellent new ones here.

OK, just checking since that's something that wasn't explicit in the initial advice we gave you, but sounds like you did it right.

D'oh, Jim's right, that should be checked - hit "P" to call up the project window and check to see which monitoring mode you're in.
"Record Only", for example, means it won't pass audio upon simply arming the track - you'd need to hit record on the transport after. Have you tried playing back any audio files yet, or just the input audio?

They never get quite as "slick" as, say, Nuendo's (hey, it's a decade old ), but they should be blockier during record and then smooth out somewhat. They look passable enough in 3.0 over here - what screen resolution are you at? Maybe you should post a screenshot of the audio so we can see if it looks as expected.

Lol, ok. I'll try recording something and post a screenshot.
I have a question, i disabled the internal soundcard. Right now when i go to check in sounds and notifications in the control panel i get no audio hardware recognized. Is there supposed to be the ensoniq hardware listed in there? I can only see Ensoniq Midi driver in the midi section.
Thanks

That's normal. PARIS is a closed, independent system, and won't show up there.

Yep. That's what it should look like
You can click the "bipolar" button above the editor to get a more "conventional" waveform view (although the way it is now allows you a better perception of amplitude).
There aren't any rec arm buttons in the Editor. You rec arm from the Mixer or from your C16.

Go to the mixer and click on the blue light with an L on it. Then try to play back
I don't have PARIS in front of me. I don't remember how to get him out of live mode. Get in Standard mode
Then
record enable
record from your MPC
rewind
disable and play back
If I'm totally off base some one tell me.

Yes, those are "nulling" lights that indicate the physical fader on the C16 is not in the same position as the corresponding fader in your Mixer window. Push each one up slowly (or down as the arrow indicates) until the corresponding light goes out ("nulls") and then the fader in the window will begin to track the C16 fader's movements.
Have you got a manual? The Wiki has some in PDF form in the Reference Library section; there's none for V 2.2 yet but there's lots of general info in the 3.0 manual.

Glad to hear it! Welcome to the PARIS mob
442s aren't worth much cash and the minimum charge for any competent tech to even take a look at it will exceed its resale value - but I'd go over it carefully yourself and look for obvious stuff. Recheck for bent or missing pins at the connectors; open it up and look carefully for anything scorched or loose - check anything mounted in a socket that can possibly be pushed in and re-seated - any visible cold solders, etc. Sometimes there's nothing to do, but other times the answer jumps out at you if you look at it carefully.
442s are a great way to get started and find out how you like the PARIS experience; if you do, at some future point you may decide to make the jump to a MEC and the additional I/O possibilities it offers.
