Hi Will,
I'm glad that I've made a contribution, but I'm definitely not an environmental hero, as much as I would like to be.
I've been working on the ASIO driver for the last six months from my 2008 Dodge Caravan while my son has his naps. I have to idle the engine the whole time, partly to keep from freezing (this is Canadian winter) but mostly because if I turn off the car, my son wakes up. The car is the only way I can get him to sleep.
I am completely sick of buying things only to throw them out. But to some degree, I keep doing it. To throw out PARIS hardware takes things too far. Keep in mind that I was burnt by Digidesign on the Session 8, and it wasn't going to happen twice if I could help it.
I bought an Energy Star home, but rather than being an environmental triumph, it left me with no respect at all for the Energy Star program. You should feel the draft that comes through my 2013 Energy Star windows. Natural Resources Canada wouldn't even come out to check them, much less do anything about it.
I have a compost bin, but I don't use it in the winter because it's too cold out. I go outside as little as possible in the winter. I do recycle as much as I can.
I would love to be an environmental hero, and I hope that with the PARIS work, I've helped make up a little for the rest of my life!
All the best,
Mike

Once the buttons output MIDI, retasking them via a script in Reaper should be trivial; Reaper has amazing scripting functionality so the things you're asking for should be pretty easy to execute, although there may be inevitable lag before someone writes the scripts for Reaper that will take advantage of the "extras".
Mike - how many of the buttons or knobs on a C16 will output usable MIDI values? Will the controller numbers be fixed or assignable? None of those would be a deal-breaker (MIDIPipe or the PC equivalent will be happy to do any necessary controller value translation), just curious.

Hi Story,
Yes, a 64 bit ASIO (Which is not what I'm about to release) will work with Pro Tools 12. I have a copy of Pro Tools 12 in anticipation of testing the driver against it. Having said that, I expect a 64 bit version to take a 2 or 3 years to write. I'm thinking of coupling it with completely replacing the ParisStudiControlLib.dll file and moving that functionality into the Scherzo.
The PARIS hardware is actually really good. It transfers data via DMA in 64 sample buffers. It took me a while to figure out how to synchronize the ASIO buffer switches to this "Big Loop" in the EDS card, but it works out great.
As for the HUI, this is what I did:
Each bank of 8 C16 faders appears as a Midi Port. So, there is one midi in and one midi out for each 8 faders of a C16 (2 input ports and two output ports per C16), up to a maximum of 16 midi ports, or 128 faders. If I select more than one of these Midi ports in Pro Tools 10, Pro Tools locks up after a little while.
Doing almost the same thing in Harris Mixbus (MCP mode vs HUI mode) works fine.
I'll take one more look at it, but I really, really tried already, and I'm 99.9999% certain there is nothing wrong in my code.
You can still have as many tracks as you want in Pro Tools, you can only control them with the first 8 faders on the C16. The bank up and down buttons work. Transport controls and the jog wheel all work, too.
All the best!
Mike
