Overview
2 E-MU Systems
simultaneously turn up filter cutoff, while detuning one sample, and
adjusting the release time of the volume envelope. Virtually every synth
parameter in the Proteus 1000 is controllable using the real-time knobs or
by any internal or external control source.
Once you have created your preset, you can add richness to your sound
using Proteus 1000's 24-bit stereo effects. You can choose a different effects
setup for each preset from over 60 algorithms. Proteus 1000's effects section
is actually two separate effects processors with control over each wet/dry
mix level on four effects sends. Effects Processor "A" contains primarily
ambiance algorithms like reverb and delays, while effects processor "B"
contains primarily spectral algorithms such as chorus, flange, phase,
distortion, and delay. Effects can be linked to each preset or used globally to
further enhance your sound.
Other features include multiple solo, voice assignment and performance
modes for expressive control, 12 user-definable alternate tunings, and, of
course, an extensive MIDI implementation.
This is the Getting Started Manual for setting up and playing Proteus 1000.
