hi everyone. i'm brand new to this site- but a long-time lover/user of PARIS! it's a great blessing to me, to find this great site! it even LOOKS like a paris project! HOW COOL!!!---
for MY money, PARIS IS JUST ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!, even with all the problems caused by discontinuation of the product, such as lack of further development, and problems that never had a chance to get solved, because of discontinuation, and etc.--- sounds so beautiful and right, looks so beautiful, and a real pleasure to work with- so many things work just right, and are so very pleasing to the human soul, despite some of its other problems---
it never made any sense to me: because paris didn't sell in large enough quantity to keep the product going, it was discontinued- but then everybody scrambled to put together a paris-like system! i guess a lot of folks just didn't realize what paris was, and how great a product--- no seperate-component endeavor i know of, even to this day, put together, anywhere near equals a paris system! anyway--- just some of my thoughts and feelings about THAT--- sure wish (as probably most of you do too), somebody filthy rich would come along and revive production of paris! but GREAT appreciation very much due to folks like mike audet! we all owe mike, and a few others like him, a GREAT debt of gratitude, for carrying on, as best as can be---
i'm presently sort of in a quandry with my computer. i've searched this site upon the subject of paris and windows 7, but i only get bits and pieces about the subject, and nothing very clear or definitive--- so straight up, let me ask- will paris work under windows 7 or not? and if it will, do i need any special drivers to make it work, or need to do any other special thing? i'm running a 32 bit machine. i've read that windows 7 has something called an xp mode. do you have to run paris in xp mode, or will it just straight up run in win.7 mode?, and will i need any drivers for the 32 bit version? paris runs EXCELLENTLY on xp- which i've been doing for a few years now- but i find myself maybe having to upgrade to windows 7- but before i do, i, of course, need to know about paris on win7! does it run even BETTER than on xp? worse? about the same? ANY INFO AT ALL, concerning the subject of paris and windows 7, will be most welcomed and appreciated---
thanks so much---
yours most sincerely,
harry e

Welcome aboard, Harry! I took the liberty of moving this post into "Main" where more folks will see it.

It does just *sound right*, doesn't it? Sounds like music to me.

We don't have any rich benefactors that I know of - but yeah, Mike's a gem, and best of all he's a stone PARIS user who's in it for the long haul.

Please take all of this as beta and speculative, but my own understanding is yes, apparently it will. I see you've found the Win7 thread over in "Projects" - my understanding from talking to Mike is that's PARIS running under Win7 using Mike's XP drivers (Mike's also put a fair bit of work into actual Win7 drivers, but I don't think they're at beta yet).
I recommend everyone to buy Mike's drivers, both from the POV of the importance of supporting our developers and for the value they bring in terms of myriad bugs squashed, ongoing tech support and cool developments around the corner. It's the best $50 you'll ever spend on PARIS.
If you also want to get involved in "bleeding edge" work being one of the earlier folks running (and undoubtedly testing) PARIS on Win7, I'd recommend you contact him directly about the ins and outs of running PARIS under Win7.
Once again - welcome to the forums, Harry! Great to see another PARIS user on board!
[By the way, browse around, there are a ton of new developments in the last year or two - great new skins, new *ways* of skinning PARIS, a plugin for the Reaper DAW to let it read and work directly with PAF files and a program called AATranslator whose developer has taught it how to *correctly* read PARIS OMFs and translate them into a ton of formats, including formats readable by Nuendo, Logic and ProTools...]

hi kerry!-
thanks so much for your reply- and for moving my message into ''main''--- I thought I had done that--- guess i'll get better at using your site, as I go along--- and thanks so very much for creating, developing, and maintaining this most wonderful and helpful site. hardly need to state the very obvious: how much poorer and lost all us paris aficionados would be without it!
yes- I see, some VERY interesting things have taken place, since the last time I knew of a workable online paris usergroup--- i'll seriously have to check them all out!
looks like you're a bass player? what axe is that you're playing? i'd be very interested to know what mics and equipment you run through, when recording---
all my best---
and thanks for welcoming me aboard---
as always, with all sincerity,
harry e

Heya Harry - that's a 1990s Japanese Squier Jazz Bass (a JV s/n) that I owned for a while that I put Sadowsky pickups in; it sounded great.
I currently have a pretty schizophrenic range of "big ticket" and "cheap and cheerful/nails one thing perfectly" basses.
- 6-string Roscoe SKB
- 5-string Nordy VJ5
- 6-string Cort Curbow "frankenbass" (I've pulled the frets and am upgrading the electronics)
- Mexi-Fender P
- Peavey MidiBase
- Danelectro Shorthorn
- TBC AP400
