Introduction

The Proteus X is a professional desktop sound module based on the Proteus sound
modules and Emulator samplers. The engineers and designers at E-MU Systems have
brought their years of experience and expertise to create the most comprehensive and
flexible software instrument ever.

Proteus X

Proteus X allows quick and easy creation of multitimbral setups on up to 32 different
MIDI channels. Other features include the following:
• 24-bit playback
• Sample streaming from the hard disk allows huge sample banks.
• Up to 192 kHz sample rate
• 32-bit floating point internal processing
• Drag and drop sample, voice and preset selection
• Phase Locked Stereo signal path
• Ultra High Precision Pitch Interpolation (user selectable)
• High Voice Polyphony (system dependent)
• Real-time controllers for all important control points
Proteus X allows the serious synthesist and programmer to literally design custom
instruments using the renowned Proteus 4 synthesis architecture.
• 54 different filter types including multi-pole resonant filters, phasers, flangers, vocal
filters and multi-parameter morphing filters.
• Extremely powerful, yet easy to use voice and sample zones allow crossfading by
position, velocity or real-time controller up to 128 layers deep.
• Three multi-stage envelopes, two lag processors and two multi-wave LFO' s per
voice.
• Multiple solo modes and assignment groups let you simulate the playing response
of physical instruments and classic synthesizers.
• 36 patchcords per voice allow you to get as complex as you want when building
instruments. Arithmetic modifiers in the patchcord section allow you to construct
complex synthesis models.
