What is PROTEUS?
Proteus is a musical instrument whose sounds are based on actual digital
recordings of "real" instruments. In this way the Proteus is very similar to
a sampling instrument. With the Proteus, we have done the sampling for
you and loaded it with some of the cleanest 16 bit sounds ever sampled.
Proteus begins with sound. Four megabytes (internally expandable to 8
megabytes) of the highest quality 16 bit samples selected from the
Emulator III sound library and stored in ROMs for instant access.
Everything you need to play and compose in a wide range of contempo-
rary styles. You simply plug in and play.
But this is only the beginning. Proteus gives you the ability to literally
take these sounds apart and reassemble them into an almost limitless
number of entirely new sounds, combining parts of one sound with
another or with any of a selection of digital waveforms also stored on
ROM. For example, the attack of a flute can be faded out as a vibe tone is
faded in, giving you a completely new sound! The monophonic and true
stereo 16 bit samples are arranged into 192 preset locations, 64 of which
are user-programmable.
Proteus also features 32 voice polyphony allowing you to take full
advantage of its layering capabilities (up to 8 sounds on each key) and its
ability to respond multi-timbrally to all 16 MIDI channels makes it ideally
suited for multitrack sequencing and composing using a MIDI se-
quencer.
Other features include 3 stereo outputs for individually processing
sounds (also configurable as 6 polyphonic submixes with fully program-
mable panning), integral sends and returns to allow the addition of
external effects units without the need for a separate mixer, user defin-
able alternate tuning, and of course, an extensive MIDI implementation.
