The Proteus X File Converter
Identical References: There are occasions where a Program, or several Programs that are
slated to go into the same Bank, will reference both the samples at one point but only
one of them in another. The Proteus X Converter will combine the two samples but also
write a mono version to satisfy the mono reference.
Floppy Disk Support
The Proteus X Converter does not support proprietary floppy formats, such as Ensoniq,
Akai, Roland, Emu, or other.
However, there is a way to get your sounds off the floppies using other programs onto
your hard drive in a form in which the Proteus X Converter can convert them to Proteus
X formats. You can use various DOS programs written by various people over the years.
You can get more information on these at:

Please be advised that these are frequently not supported and do not run on Windows
XP, but please see the site for some easily attained workarounds.
Note about EOS Banks Saved on DOS Floppies
Some EOS banks saved onto DOS floppies may end up with their 16-bit byte-swapped,
LSB for MSB. The samples in these banks, when loaded into Proteus X, will typically
sound like white noise. Proteus X provides a method by which to repair the data as it is
loaded. To do this, simply rename the bank file so that the extension reads, ".b4e".
