it and return to the Multisetup screen.
Change the current preset by clicking on the number to the left of the preset. The
4.
number you selected turns red.

LED of the current preset now plays along with whatever sound is selected for that
channel. (Your MIDI keyboard still plays on the channel to which it is set.)
Change the channel on your MIDI keyboard then play it. The Proteus now plays the

Selecting Presets from the Tree
When you click on a preset in the tree, you have just selected it for the current MIDI

icon at the top of the tree.
Changing the Current MIDI Channel
The Current MIDI Channel is simply the MIDI channel you are currently working

with.
To change the current MIDI channel, click on the channel number in the Multisetup
2.
page. The selected channel number turns red. Note also that the channel number at
the bottom of the window changes to reflect the current channel.

Adjusting the Controllers

Each preset has a set of 16 continuous controllers which are used to adjust and control
the sound as you play. Your MIDI keyboard may have several knobs or sliders that are
transmitted over MIDI. These can be used to control the Proteus X if you match the CC
numbers your MIDI keyboard transmits to the same CC numbers on the
Proteus X. These global settings are located under Options, Preferences, Controllers. See
page 21 and page 158 for additional information about MIDI controllers.
To Modify the Sound using the Controllers
Play your MIDI keyboard as you adjust the controller knobs on the screen. Notice
1.
that the sound changes. If the sound doesn't change, make sure the current preset
(red number) is the same one that your keyboard is playing.
If you have controller knobs on your MIDI keyboard and have set up the Controllers
2.
(Options, Preferences, Controllers) to match your keyboard, you can use these
knobs to modify the sound. Notice that the screen knob follows the movement of
the hardware knob.
Try changing the filter type. Click on the selector to the right of the filter name and
3.
select one of the 53 different filter types.
Adjust the Tone and Presence controls while playing the keyboard to hear your
4.
changes.
Change the Volume and Pan controls for the MIDI channel you are using. These
5.
settings can be adjusted remotely using MIDI controller #7 (volume) and controller
#10 (pan).
If you want to save the changes, you must set the Initial Controller Amounts in the
6.
Preset Globals page to match the settings you made in the Multisetup page, then
save the bank.
