Preset Editor - E-Mu ProteusX Operation Manual

5 - Preset Editor

The Preset Editor allows you to edit presets and their key maps. Samples can be arranged
into single-sample or multi-sample voices with synthesizer processing applied. Then
these complete voices can then be arranged anywhere on the keyboard.
The Preset Editor contains three sections. The first section, Voices & Zones, is used for
arranging voices and samples on the keyboard and editing global preset parameters.
The Links section makes it easy to build new presets by combining other finished
presets. Multiple presets can be crossfaded or cross-switched according to key position,
key velocity, or by the position of MIDI continuous controllers.
The third section, Voice Processing, is used to perform more detailed editing of voices
such as envelope shaping of amplitude and filters as well as modulation parameters.
This is the synthesizer section of Proteus X containing E-MU's legendary Z-plane filters
and powerful matrix modulation.
