Multitimbral Sequencing - E-Mu Proteus 1000 Operation Manual

Multitimbral
Sequencing
34 E-mu Systems
"Multitimbral" means that Proteus 1000 can play multiple sounds at the
same time. For a multitimbral sequence to play back correctly, the proper
preset must be selected for each MIDI channel. This could be done by
inserting preset changes into each track of your sequence before the
sequence starts. Proteus 1000 also provides another way to store this "pre-
sequence setup" using the Multisetup menu.
Using Multisetups, you'll set up the preset, volume and pan settings for
each MIDI channel as you build your sequence, then save the Multisetup
when it's the way you want it. Sending one preset change command before
the sequence starts selects the Multisetup and MIDI settings for all 32
channels.
To Set up Proteus 1000 for Multitimbral Operation
Set the MIDI mode to "multi mode," using the MIDI mode function in
1.
the Master menu.
Decide which MIDI channels you want Proteus 1000 to receive (32
2.
channels can be used simultaneously). If you are using 16 MIDI
channels or less, just use one of the MIDI ports. Use both MIDI ports if
you need more than 16 MIDI channels. You can turn any unused
channels OFF using the MIDI Enable function in the Master menu.
Select the desired preset for each of the MIDI channels you want the

Proteus 1000 to receive using the MIDI Channel/Preset selection screen.
