list until you find a preset you like.

manual for details.
28. Now you should be hearing the sound you chose on channel 2. If not, check
to make sure both clips are playing (green triangle). Each clip plays a different
preset.
Add MIDI Clips
29. Drop a few more MIDI clips into both MIDI channel slots. Play around with
the Clip Launch buttons.
Preset Change
Here's another way to change the MIDI Program (Preset in E-MU speak) without
going into the Proteus VX editor.
30. Double-click on one of the currently playing MIDI clips. The Clip View
appears at the bottom of the window.
31. Select the Show/Hide Notes Box
the Clip View window. The Notes box appears in the Clip View section.
32. Select a Program number. You'll hear the Proteus VX sound change. Keep
selecting until you find one you like.
• Hint: Use the Up/Down Arrow keys to select Programs. Use Sub-Banks 2-8
to select presets higher than 128.
33. As an added bonus of selecting programs this way, the program (sound) you
selected is now associated with the MIDI clip. Whenever you select this MIDI
clip, the sound will also be selected.
34. Select another clip and assign a different program number. Notice that the
Preset changes when you switch back and forth between clips.
Save the Set
35. Save your work by selecting Save Live Set As... from the File menu. The next
time you load the set, the Proteus VX bank will automatically load as well.
Record a MIDI Track using your MIDI Keyboard
36. You can use the MIDI Track you set up on MIDI channel 2. Make sure there is
at least one empty slot in the MIDI track. (Select and hit backspace to delete a
clip.)
