Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the E-mu Proteus 1000 – the
composer’s dream machine. The power of Proteus 1000 begins with 64
voice polyphony, which means that 64 different instrument lines can be
played at once! And there’s much more as you will soon discover.
Product Description
Proteus 1000 contains two user-upgradable sound SIMM sockets, allowing
you to mix and match sound sets according to your needs. New sounds can
be added as easily as plugging in a new 16MB or 32MB SIMM module and
up to 64MB of sounds can be added! Each sound set has been meticulously
crafted to be the best of its kind. Samples are matched across the keyboard,
perfectly looped, and rich in harmonic texture.
Proteus contains 512 user presets and can hold literally thousands of
factory presets. (ROM presets are automatically added when sound SIMMs are
installed. As an example, a 32 MB SIMM may contain up to 1024 ROM presets.)
Proteus 1000’s Sound Navigator is a major improvement to the main screen
that makes it easy to find the exact sound you want from the thousands
available. It’s powerful, yet simple to use.
Of course the real power of Proteus 1000 becomes apparent when you
synthesize your own sounds. The extremely flexible yet easy to use, 4-layer
synthesizer voices make it easy to build sounds of any kind. Layers can be
switched or crossfaded using key position, velocity, real-time controllers or
any modulation source. Proteus 1000 also contains 50 different types of
2nd to 6th order resonant & modeling filters which are used to shape and
modify the raw waveforms.
The 64 modulation sources include three multistage envelopes and two
LFOs per layer, as well as full MIDI control over virtually every parameter.
The digital patch bay, with 24 cords per layer, (and 12 more cords per
preset) lets you connect modulation sources to 64 destinations in any
imaginable way.
Four front panel real-time controllers give you control over 12 userselectable parameters. The real-time knobs can adjust multiple parameters
at once, allowing complex levels of control. For example, one knob can

Introduction
Product Description
The optional Turbo
upgrade adds the following
features to your Proteus 1000:
• 128 voice polyphony
• 4 submix analog outputs
• 32 MIDI channel operation
• 2 additional sound ROM slots
• S/PDIF stereo digital output

simultaneously turn up filter cutoff, while detuning one sample, and
adjusting the release time of the volume envelope. Virtually every synth
parameter in the Proteus 1000 is controllable using the real-time knobs or
by any internal or external control source.
Once you have created your preset, you can add richness to your sound
using Proteus 1000’s 24-bit stereo effects. You can choose a different effects
setup for each preset from over 60 algorithms. Proteus 1000’s effects section
is actually two separate effects processors with control over each wet/dry
mix level on four effects sends. Effects Processor “A” contains primarily
ambiance algorithms like reverb and delays, while effects processor “B”
contains primarily spectral algorithms such as chorus, flange, phase,
distortion, and delay. Effects can be linked to each preset or used globally to
further enhance your sound.
Other features include multiple solo, voice assignment and performance
modes for expressive control, 12 user-definable alternate tunings, and, of
course, an extensive MIDI implementation.
Overview
This is the Getting Started Manual for setting up and playing Proteus 1000.
The first part of the manual describes how to unpack and setup the
hardware. The next chapters provide step-by-step instructions for the most
common and widely used features of Proteus 1000. This section also defines
each of the parameters and provides information on how to use them.
The complete operation manual is provided to you in pdf format on
CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains pdf files for both Mac and PC as well as
the complete MIDI SysEx specification and a software downloading tool
which allows you to retrieve the latest software and new features from the
world wide web.

Cet appareil doit être relié à la terre. Dans le cas d’une malfonction
éventuelle, la terre fournit un passage de moindre résistance pour le
courant électrique, réduisant ainsi les risques d’électrocution. Le Proteus
1000 est équipé d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur et d’une fiche devant
être branchée dans une prise appropriée et reliée à la terre en conformité
avec les normes locales.
Une connexion incorrecte peut résulter en des risques d’électrocution.
Vérifiez avec un technicien qualifié si vous avez des doutes quant à la
connexion. Ne modifiez pas vous-même le cordon d’alimentation livré avec
cet appareil; s’il ne rentre pas dans la prise, faites-en installer un autre par
un technicien qualifié.

MIDI In
The module is controlled by MIDI messages received at the MIDI In jack.
Normally you will connect MIDI Out of a controller such as a MIDI
keyboard to the MIDI In of Proteus 1000. Be sure to connect a Footswitch
and/or Control Pedal to your MIDI keyboard. Many of the factory presets
use MIDI controllers.
Outputs
In order to reproduce the widest dynamic range and frequency response,
use a high quality amplification and speaker system such as a keyboard
amplifier or home stereo system. A stereo setup is highly desirable because
of the added realism of stereophonic sound. Headphones can be used if an
amplifier and speaker system is not available. Plug stereo headphones into
the headphone jack located on the left side of the front panel.

Playing Demo Sequences
This section presents step-by-step instructions for the most fundamental
operations to get you up and making sounds quickly.
Proteus 1000 has several factory demonstration sequences that let you hear
what this incredible machine can do. The actual number of demo
sequences depends on which ROM sounds sets are installed. You can play
these demo sequences by accessing the Demo Sequence page.

Auditioning Presets The front panel audition button allows you to hear any preset in Proteus
1000 without even hooking up a MIDI keyboard! When the Audition
button is pressed, the LED next to the button will illuminate and a short
“Riff” (programmed as part of the preset) will play. The Riff is latched on
and plays continuously until the button is pressed again. Presets can be
changed while Audition is latched on.
The top line of the display changes to show the MIDI Bank Select controller
values needed to select the preset being auditioned. This is an extremely
handy feature when sequencing.

Selecting and Quick Editing Presets
The first thing you’ll do with the Proteus 1000 is select and play the factory
provided presets. Proteus 1000 comes standard with 12 banks containing
128 presets each.

duplicated in banks 4-7 of the “CMPSR” ROM bank, so feel free to overwrite
them with your own presets. You won’t be losing anything.

Instant Gratification
Each bank of 128 presets is identified by a superscripted Bank Number to the
right of the preset number. The bank numbers reset to 0 at the start of each
ROM card you have installed. So with the composer ROM installed, the
USER banks will go from 0-3, then start over from 0-7 for the CMPSR banks.
To the right of the preset number and bank is the preset Category name
followed by the Preset Name.
To Change the Preset
1. Place the cursor under the first character in the Preset Number field.
This is the “Home” position which is selected instantly when you press
the Home/Enter button. Pressing either of the two cursor buttons
repeatedly also gets you there.
2. Turn the Data Entry Control knob on the front panel to select a new
preset number. If you turn the knob slowly, the presets advance one
number for each “click” of the knob. If you spin the knob quickly, the
numbers advance much faster (more than one number per click).
3. Play the keyboard (or press the Audition button) and listen to the
sounds made by your Proteus 1000!
4. TURN THE FOUR KNOBS on the front panel and note how they
change the sound of each preset! The button to the left of the knobs
changes the knob’s function. Don’t worry about ruining the sound, the
values are automatically reset as soon as you select a new preset.

Front Panel The Proteus 1000 front panel contains an LCD screen, nine buttons and
four real-time controllers. Functions are grouped logically and the controls
are arranged for ease of use. Precisely because Proteus 1000 is so simple to
use, you might be tempted to skip this section. If you just can’t help
yourself, at least read the Real-time Controller information beginning
page 23. There are several “power user” features in the interface which
make programming even easier and we wouldn’t want you to miss them.
Volume Control This control is the master volume control for all audio outputs. The Volume
Control does not affect any editing or user interface operations.
For maximum dynamic range, turn this knob all the way up and control
the volume from your mixer or amplifier.
Master Button The Master menu contains parameters that affect the entire machine, not
just certain presets. An illuminated LED to the right of the button indicates
that you are in the Master menu.
Edit Button Use the Edit menu when you want to create or modify a preset. An illumi-
nated LED to the right of the button indicates that you are in the Edit
menu.
Control Button The Control button is used to change the function of the Controller knobs
(see the next section). Each time you press the Control button, the Control
Mode toggles to select only one of the three Control Rows. The currently

Audition Button The Audition button allows you to hear any preset without hooking up a
MIDI keyboard. When the Audition button is pressed, the LED next to the
button will illuminate and a short “Riff” (programmed as part of the preset)
will play. The Riff is latched on and plays continuously until the button is
pressed again. Presets can be changed while Audition is latched on. See
“Bank Select Commands” on page 82 for more information on selecting banks via
MIDI.
The top line of the display changes to show the MIDI Bank Select controller
values needed to select the preset being auditioned. This handy feature lets
you know the exact Bank and Preset number to enter into your sequencer.
