Useful Third Party Software
Many software utilities exist that can enhance the functionality of PARIS. (The excellent AnalogX has written a number of utilities specific to PARIS; click here for more great AnalogX utilities, or see below):
Donationware/Freeware:
- PARIS Performance (by AnalogX) - Paris Performance (PP) is a CPU performance meter, designed with the same GUI (graphical user interface) as the Ensoniq PARIS Digital Audio Workstation.
- PARIS MIDI Automation (by AnalogX) - It's the Paris. It's got MIDI. Nuff' said. Automation of ALL of the controls on the WindowMiniMixer Mini Mixer display...
- PARIS AutoAdd (by AnalogX) - If you've ever needed to add more than a few files to a Paris project, you quickly learned that the only way to do it was one at a time... Until now!
- PARIS AutoSave (by AnalogX) - Ever wished that you would have a handy way to AutoSave your Paris projects, to go along with the Paris's ability to save undo-s in your Project? Well, your wishes have become reality with Paris AutoSave from AnalogX!
- Interleave (by AnalogX) - Undo the evils of defrag on multitrack digital audio files, or restore your archived tracks for maximum disk performance...
- DriveTime (by AnalogX) - Ever wanted to know how much space is on you HD, in people terms like minutes and hours? If so, then check this out...
- Delay Calculator (by AnalogX) - Handy little utility that calculates millisecond delays from beats per minute (tempo).
- NEW: FFX-4 Rack (by VB Audio) - Break PARIS' "64 Native Inserts" barrier with this new freeware wrapper [at bottom of link] that acts as a "virtual rack/mini-patchbay" to allow four DX plug-ins in a single PARIS slot. May inadvertently work as a cure for some DX plugin stability issues for PARIS!
- NEW: VB Plugman (by VB Audio) - Manage Plug-ins registered on your system. A list shows you all the Audio Direct-X Plug-in and all VS3 Plug-ins. Select one or several plug-ins by name, and click on one of the 3 buttons to disable, enable or remove plug-ins from your system.
- NEW: Senderella (by Subminimal) - Senderella is a free VST plug-in for Windows that can transmit stereo/mono signals from one instance to another. Use it as a send in hosts that do not provide proper sends, or for feedback loops in modular hosts that do not support them. It has just been updated to v1.0.6. There are now two versions of the DLL included: Original and Simplified. [be warned: discontinued, and can potentially cause problems]
Shareware:
- FFX-16 Rack (by VB Audio) - The "big brother" of the freeware FFX-4 above. Acts as a "virtual rack/mini-patchbay" plugin that allows four DX plug-ins in one PARIS slot. May inadvertently work as a cure for some DX plugin stability issues for PARIS! Commercial, € 116,00 EUR (currency conversion)
- NEW: VstNotesXL - A flexible VST plugin that can store text or images in a variety of ways. Useful for storing session notes, digital photos of settings for outboard gear, or lyrics. Shareware, $21.55 USD (currency conversion)
Donationware/Freeware:
- Joliet File System Extension (by Thomas Tempelmann) - this System Extension enhances the way your Macintosh computer can read CD-ROMs from other platforms, mainly Windows. Until now, if you inserted a Windows CD-ROM in your Mac, file names appeared to be crippled (in the so-called 8.3 format) or files may have been inaccessible. This Joliet extension is designed to solve these problems. Freeware (scroll down at link for details)
