Programming Basics - E-Mu Proteus Operation Manual

Proteus operation manual
Your initial involvement with the Proteus will most likely consist of using
the existing presets and selecting MIDI channels. While the factory
presets are very good, there are probably some things you would like to
change, perhaps the LFO speed, or the attack time. You may also want to
make your own custom presets using complex modulation routings.
Entirely new sounds can be created by combining the attack portion of
one sound with the body of another sound or by combining the digital
waveforms with sampled sounds. There are 64 user locations (64-127)
available to store your own creations or edited factory presets. Best of all,
it's easy to edit or create new presets using the edit menu.
Presets can be made up of both a primary and secondary instrument.
Presets can also be "linked" with up to 3 additional presets to create
layering or splits.
One way to create a keyboard split is assign an instrument to a specific
range and then link it to other presets which fill in the empty keys. Using
a combination of 4 linked presets and the primary and secondary instru-
ment ranges, up to 8 keyboard splits can be produced. If linked presets
overlap on the same keyboard range, the presets will be doubled or
stacked.

These diagrams show how keyboard splits and layers can be created by linking presets.
Remember that each preset can consist of both a primary and secondary instrument.
