I am a little confused on how to load the plugin bundles from Ensoniq. I am running XP dual core cpu and in the paris installation pdf I have refers to toms hardware download that does not exist anymore. Can anyone help me as I want to buy the reverb and compressor bundles but I first need to know that I can load them. Any help would be much appreciated...Ron http://images.tomshardware.com/2004/05/28/getting_more_bang_ out_of_

Heya Ron - those instructions were for the initial XP drivers and early revisions of Mike's new XP drivers. Changes in the drivers have now rendered all that "Tom's Hardware" stuff obsolete. So if you've bought your drivers from Mike, the included install docs should be all you need.

I assume you're talking about Mike's PARIS EDS compressor/reverb plugins? If you buy them from Mike, I know he'd definitely sort you out and make sure they operated fine. But it really should be a straight-ahead process of copying them into the folders specified in the accompanying "read me" and then rebooting PARIS.

(They sound great too.)

Thanks Kerry. I did buy the new drivers from Mike so I guess I am good to go. Do I buy these directly from Mike or @ Ensoniq? I am thankful that Mike keeps up this format and thank you ever so much for all your help.....Ron

Heya Ron - you get them at the mikeaudet link in the header above. He has ensonic.ca as a domain, which might be confusing, but it's just the domain name of Mike's PARIS site.

Thanks Kerry I will order them. I have a question that maybe you can help me with. I went to the WIKI site and want to use external effects. I did everything that was said to do running thru the ins and outs of the MEC modules and patching in the patchbay but I can't get any signal to the effects. I used the expanded Mec example. I don't know if I missed something in the patchbay.

Are you inserting them on an aux, or as a channel insert? Basic procedure's the same (substitute the letter of the MEC you're using of course)

- first, cable everything together physically
- call up an EXTERNAL EDS plugin on the relevant channel (or aux)
- go into the patch bay and patch from MIXER A FX (for auxes, or MIXER A INSERT for channel inserts) to the hardware out you're feeding
- patch whatever hardware "in" you're sending the effected signal to back into the same MIXER A INSERT channel (or MIXER A FX channel)

That should do it. It won't pass signal if you don't close the loop - seems like an obvious statement, but it might not be: sending to headphone amps (ie something that doesn't require a return) also fails unless you close the loop as well.

Sounds good I will try it later this afternoon. I bought the reverb and compressor bundles so I think I will have a full plate for a couple of days. Thanks for the tips but I have been analogue for 30 years and this is pretty much greek to me at times. Thanks for your patience....Ron

Ahh! No worries - I can walk you through in greater detail (ie with the background assumptions in my previous post spelled out more clearly) if you'd like.

Kerry, Mike walked me through the set up of external effects last night and helped me load his plugins. The plugins sound fantastic and in my opinion all users should aquire these as they are 1000% better than the originals especially the compressors. I still have a little problem with the external effects coming back into the aux but it just may be the patching. I was just too excited in getting the plugins to work that I might have overlooked something. I will get more into it this weekend and let you know. Thanks for all your help and thanks to Mike for his continuing updates and creativity.

Yeah, Mike really did a good one. Those reverbs are stellar too.

I've also started the stub of a thread for user-contributed presets for both Mike's plugs and the orginals - although this will be particularly useful for things like the Big Reverb, all will definitely be welcome. If some get put up there I'll take on the job of organizing them.

Enjoy!
