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

Hehe. I have problems sleeping in total silence. I have a certain amount of tinnitus due to playing in LOUD bands many years ago. I still gig, but ALWAYS block my ears with rolled up toilet paper. (Readily available at gigs!).
To sleep, I need white noise. In summer I use a pedestal fan, and in winter I use an FM radio tuned off station.
I cannot sleep without some sort of constant wideband noise. It also helps mask external noises in the middle of the night, which wake me up. (My dogs snoring, possums running on the roof, cocks with loud exhausts etc....)

Hi Guys,
I have a question and an update.
My question: does anyone know how accurate the Centrance ASIO latency utility is? I just ran it on the PARIS ASIO driver, and it reported 1.45 ms round trip latency. Is this in addition to the 1.45 ms (times two) from the buffers? I've included a screen shot. I hope this is true!
My update: I'm working on OSC support for the C16. I've made further improvements on efficiency since getting the main timing loop driven by the IRQ on the EDS card. I'm down to 3.5% CPU usage with dozens of tracks at 64 sample buffers.
OSC is going to be harder than MIDI because I have to manually map every single control. But, I'm on it. I'm targeting Reaper.
I've also got the ASIO driver loading as Windows MIDI driver to pass data for the C16. I'm not sure if it will just pass simple MIDI control messages or something more. I'm leaning towards some kind or partial HUI compatibility so it can be used in Pro Tools 10.
All the best!
Mike

Oh man! How's OSC working for you, is it turning out to be useful?
The jog shuttle wheel would be awesome mapped to similar jog/scrub functionality in Reaper and there are assignable actions for it but it's pre-mapped to something called MultiRotate which I can't find any documentation on. Any idea what that is?

Paris works with its own proprietary drivers but only the Paris app could use them. ASIO is a sort of "standard" driver that will allow most other audio software to use the PARIS hardware so there's no need to boot the Paris app (and in fact I'd be surprised if the Paris app can be run at the same time another app was using its previously dedicated hardware).

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.

Amazing! Would a 64bit Asio driver then also work with Pro Tools 12? If yes, how is it even possible to get such stoneold hardware run on 64bit, you must be a genius.
And: Are the 8 faders in HUI mode bankable directly from the C16? Or does it mean that there are only 8 faders available altogether? Thanks

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

The ASIO driver is a means of using a different app to front-end your PARIS hardware than the original PARIS app. The new app (you can choose from a wide range) replaces the PARIS app.
You can already use the PARIS app and another app at the same time without the ASIO driver, as long as you have a sound card you can use for the second app. Just go to the other app and choose the other sound card as its output and feed its outputs (analog or digital) into PARIS inputs and sync the two apps using any of the established methods.

Alright that sounds Great to me ! Except I have to admit I am not really sure exactly what that all means. I just appreciate everything done to keep Paris alive and improving. I haven't been recording much lately, I have been doing quite a bit of playing out, but when this new driver is ready to go I will try it. When the driver is ready to try, I would be willing to test drive it a bit, as long as my brain will now how to revert if things to scary. Keep up the GREAT work and keep me in touch, Rich P.S. this is a pix of my new puppy Caesar, I lost my Buddy Samson March 1st.
