EMU/ENSONIQ has released the PARIS Pro 3.0 software, adding a number of new features, making it even easier to record, mix and edit music and audio. PARIS Pro supports up to 128 tracks with automated mixing, DSP based inserts and effects and support for VST and DirectX plug-ins.

PARIS Pro 3.0 features include:

  • New 3.0 User Interface
    PARIS Pro 3.0 offers a new mixer design and comprehensive drag-and-drop capabilities. The ability to save individual EQ settings or an entire channel strips and import them into other submixes makes mixing in PARIS Pro even faster and more intuitive than before. Version 3.0 software offers unprecedented grouping flexibility for fader, pan, EQ and aux sends. Animated graphic overviews of both levels and panning positions are also shown for entire submixes. And users can now view at a glance composite graphical EQ curves for each channel in PARIS, with the ability to click and drag individual EQ points! These are just a few of PARIS Pro 3.0's significant interface advancements.
  • OMF Import/Export
    OMF (Avid's Open Media Framework) file interchange allows for cross compatibility between PARIS Pro 3.0 projects and Digidesign's Pro Tools sessions, Avid Media Composer projects, and other professional systems found in studios and post houses around the world. PARIS Pro 3.0 supports OMF files in both 16 bit and 24 bit formats.
  • MIDI Integration
    PARIS Pro 3.0 also provides the user with a MIDI engine which allows up to 999 MIDI tracks, Standard MIDI File import/export, event editing and MIDI plug-ins such as compression, quantization, multi-record filtering and more. All the editing tools that current PARIS Pro users know for performing audio edits will also be available for MIDI editing.
  • Integrated Wave Editor
    PARIS Pro 3.0 offers users a powerful, sample-accurate "destructive" wave editor for editing raw audio files, including tools like a pencil tool for re-drawing waveforms. You can also process any portion of the audio file with PARIS's powerful DSP algorithms or the myriad of VST/DirectX plug-ins available today.
  • Native (CPU based) Tracks
    Adhering to the penalty-free expansion platform of PARIS Pro, users now get the best of both worlds with native submix tracks running in tandem with Paris's hardware tracks. This hybrid architecture takes advantage of both Paris's superior proprietary DSP and the speed and power of today's Mac and PC CPUs– truly the best of both hardware-based and CPU-based systems.

The price of the upgrade is $295.
