No, I don't want a motorized fader control. |

When the PARIS newsgroup disappeared, I thought the PARIS community had finally given up, so I dropped my plans for anything more than one-off projects for myself.
Are there enough of us still around to make it worth while to resurrect these projects?

Hey Doug - have you considered breaking this into two discrete projects - one a "motorized C16" and the other a smaller "line lump" that would sit between any C16 and the EDS card and have a MIDI out jack on it?
That second box would leave people with a C16 that was platform and driver independent. Most of the development would be stuff you'd be doing for the motorized fader box anyway; the comparative hardware costs for the line-lump would be peanuts, and the market comparatively larger (folks that might hesistate at buying a $500 motorized fader controller would buy a $75 "turn your C16 into a MIDI controller" box without a second thought).
I can't wait until you and Mike get talking. He's bootstrapped himself into being a formidable coder and he's an absolutely great guy. He's put some time into scrutinizing the C16's quasi-midi "language" since his plan is to have it show up to the OS as a MIDI controller once the Win7 64bit drivers are licked.
Inspiring stuff!

My reply from the Adat thread...
Sorry to mix the threads. Yeah, it looks like my idea would be too much work. If the end cost would only be around $500.00, it makes sense to build new. I will mention that when Paris Pro 3.0 was released it was supposed to work with third party control surfaces. It is in the press releases, and as a dealer, I was told that they had it working with the CM MotorMix and a german control surface called the K2. It might be an easier way to go, to get Paris to work with an existing control surface. However, your idea to build a new C-16 is the best.
Third party control surfaces are mentioned in this release.
