PARIS PCI Card We have packed incredible power into this card. There are 6 of our most powerful ESP2 chips, each one having more audio processing bandwidth than almost any off-the-shelf chip available today. With this kind of PARIS power you can: record and play back 16 tracks of 24-bit audio have a180 point patch bay have master and slave sample clock capability have 24-bit processing, throughout have 64 parametric EQ sections run up to 16 effects, simultaneously ...all this with no load on the host computer, leaving the CPU available for more additional plug-ins and superfast graphics! This powerful card has real-time signal processing that allows a signal to come in from a microphone, be processed, and then be monitored, with absolutely no audio delay. This feature is necessary in most recording, yet still difficult to accomplish with software-only systems. Effects Twelve factory plug-in effects ship with every PARIS system including Compressors, Expanders, Gates, Delays, Choruses, and Reverbs. Each 24-bit effect has numerous parameters for editing as well as a help window and programmed presets. In addition, the effects architecture is open-ended, allowing third party vendors to port over their effects packages.
