While PARIS is now discontinued, the software and the PAF format continue to be used by audio enthusiasts. The PAF format is the native format used by PARIS to save audio projects.
The DAW allows users to save their audio projects as PAF files by default, or as .WAV or .SD2 audio files. While the PAF format is primarily saved in audio files with the .paf extension, the format may also be saved in files with the .fap extension.
