To use Cubase SX as a standalone processor for applying VST plugins to Paris
individual track inserts and auxes (requires powerful computer)
Make sure both systems are using a common clock.
In the Control Panel of your native audio interface , set the latency to
1.5ms.
Physically patch the Cubase ADAT I/O to the ADAT I/O of the audio device you
are using with Cubase SX. Check the control panel of you audio hardware and
make sure the I/O are sync'ed up.
Set up a matrix in the Paris patchbay where you are sending and returning
whatever tracks you want to process via ADAT on the insert module.
Set insert on the Paris mixer channel to external.
In Cubase, create a corresponding number of audio tracks.
In Cubase > VST connections>create mono input and output busses that
correspond to the ADAT I/O of your audio interface that is connected to the
Paris ADAT I/O
Insert the VST processor you want to use on the audio track in Cubase
Click on the little "speaker" icon on the Cubase audio channel so you are
monitoring with effects.
Hit the Play button on Paris. The audio will be processed in Cubase Sx and
returned to Paris.
The plugin delay compensation works very well at 1.5ms under this scenario,
allowing you to play back tracks in Paris that aren't being processed in
Cubase with tracks that are.
Watch your channel levels in Paris. In an insert send/return scenario, a hot
track being sent from Paris can clip the bejeezus out of a UAD-1 plugin in
Cubase SX so be careful.
There is another scenario which I use in which I import all of the tracks
into Cubase SX and then just return them to Paris while being processed on
both systems. This takes more time to set up, but if you enjoy the Cubase
editing capabilities, this is the way to go.

Mono and stereo VST effects in Cubase FX on Paris auxes
1. Physically patch a pair the I/O of the audio interface you are using with
Cubase to a pair of Paris I/O
2. Route these Paris I/O to an aux in the Paris patchbay and assign this aux
to a track (or tracks) in Paris.
3. In Cubase > VST connections>make sure the I/O of the card being used with
Cubase are set up as mono or stereo input and outputs
4. In Cubase > VST connections>Group/FX>Add/FX and choose the effect you
want on that FX channel
(at this point, if you want the effect centerpanned, you can just use it as
a send effect on a Cubase mono or stereo audio track)
5. In Cubase > VST connections>Group/FX>Add/Group
6. In the Cubase project window go to the Group Channel, rename it with the
name of the Paris aux it is using and assign it to the mono or stereo bus
that is connected to the Paris aux.
7. In order to process across Paris submixes with a single hardware
processor by routing an external hardware effect from Cubase to the Paris
Aux channel, in the Cubase project window go to the FX channel you created
for this hardware processor and insert the external effect on this channel.
Then on the Cubase Group channel that is sending to the Paris aux, the input
will be the ADAT input that is connected to the Paris aux out. The output
will be the external effect. Then on the Cubase external effect channel, the
output will be the same RME ADAT output that is sending to the Paris ADAT
channel sending to the Paris aux.
8. To route a VST effect in Cubase through a Paris aux, in the Cubase
project window go to the FX channel and insert the effect you chose in
Add/FX on this channel and then choose the same output bus for this channel
that you chose for the Group Channel so that this effect goes to the Paris
aux
9. On the mono or stereo track in Cubase insert this effect as a send
effect.
10. Make sure the channel faders for the audio channel, the FX channel and
the Group channel are set to unity.
11. Start playback and make the necessary adjustments in the send levels on
the Cubase audio channel and the Paris aux channel.

In order use a hardware processor across submixes in Paris............
1. Physically patch a pair the I/O of the hardware interface with the I/O of
an audio interface you are using with Cubase.
2. In Cubase > VST connections> create an external effect and assign the I/O
of the audio device that you are using with Cubase SX
3. In Cubase > VST connections>Group/FX>Add/FX and choose the external
effect that you created.
4. If you want centerpanned mono or stereo, at this point you can just use
this as a send effect on a mono or stereo audio track or for pannable auxes
in Paris, you can follow steps 5 through 9 above.

Here's my routing matrix. Believe it or not, I understand it:
EXTERNAL FX:
1. MULTIFACE analog 1 (mono)
2. MULTIFACE analog 2 (mono)
3. MULTIFACE analog 3 (mono)
4. MULTIFACE analog 4 (mono)
5. MULTIFACE analog 5 (mono)
6. MULTIFACE analog 6 (mono)
7. MULTIFACE analog 7 (mono)
8. MULTIFACE analog 8 (mono)
9. HDSP 1 SPDIF 25 (mono)
10.HDSP 1 SPDIF 26 (mono)
11.HDSP SPDIF 51 & 52 (stereo)
12.HDSP 1 25 & 26 (stereo)
HDSP 1 SPDIF I/O 25 & 26 ASSIGNED TO EXTERNAL FX-EITHER INSERT OR SEND FX
HDSP 2 SPDIF I/O 51 & 52 ASSIGNED TO EXTERNAL FX-PATCHED TO QUANTEC AS SEND
