Flexible Architecture

The Proteus X allows you great flexibility in the way you construct presets. Consider this
— you can assign multiple samples to the keyboard inside a voice or assign single
sample voices to the keyboard.
Unless you specify otherwise, only one sample is assigned per voice. In this case you
would assign voices (and the single sample each one contains) to the keyboard and
create presets. On the other hand, you may want to create multisample voices before
you start designing presets and treat the voice as your finished sound. In this case, the
preset can be used to crossfade, layer or switch multiple complex voices.
