Base Tempo

52 E-MU Systems
User Key Tuning lets you create and modify 12 user definable tuning tables.
The initial frequency of every key can be individually tuned, facilitating the
creation of alternate or microtonal scales.
Using the cursor keys and the Data Entry Control, select the user table
number, the key name, the coarse tuning and the fine tuning. The key
name is variable from C-2 to G8. Coarse Tuning is variable from 0 to 127
semitones. The fine tuning is variable from 00 to 63 in increments of 1/64
of a semitone (approx. 1.56 cents). For each preset, the specific tuning table
is selected in the Edit menu.

Proteus 1000 contains an internal master clock which can be used to:
synchronize the LFOs when in Tempo-based mode, control the times of
Tempo-based envelopes or used as a modulation source in the PatchCords
section. There are two tempo values shown in the display.
• Base Tempo - The base tempo is the value to which the MIDI controller
specified in the Tempo Controller screen will be applied. (See "Tempo
Controller" on page 47.)
• Current Tempo - The current tempo is equal to the base tempo modu-
lated by the MIDI controller specified in the Tempo Controller screen. If
no MIDI Tempo controller message has been received since the last Base
Tempo change, the Current Tempo will be equal to the Base Tempo.
Current Tempo is NOT displayed when the Base Tempo is set to "MIDI
Clock".
To Change the Master Tempo:

Adjust the Base Tempo using the Data Entry Control.
