Proteus FX INTRODUCTION
INTRO - CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRO - CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction1
PROTEUS FX
Proteus FX is a musical instrument
whose sounds are based on actual digital
recordings of “real” instruments. In this
way, Proteus FX is very similar to a
sampling instrument. With the Proteus
FX, we have done the sampling for you
and loaded it with a collection of the
cleanest 16 bit sounds ever sampled.
Proteus FX contains a massive 8 Megabytes of the highest quality 16 bit Rock/
Pop and Orchestral samples selected from
the Emulator III sound library and stored
in ROMs for instant access. We have
included everything you need to play and
compose in a wide range of contemporary
styles. You simply plug in and play.
But this is only the beginning. Proteus FX
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 512
preset locations, 256 of which are userprogrammable.
Proteus FX 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 multitimbrally to all 16 MIDI channels makes
it ideally suited for multitrack sequencing
and composing using a MIDI sequencer.
Other features include two studio-quality
effects processors with 27 different
effects, a user definable alternate tuning,
and of course, an extensive MIDI implementation.
INTRO - CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Basic
Organization
Proteus FX is organized as shown in the
diagram below.
USER RAM PRESETS
CAN BE MOVED, ERASED
OR ALTERED AS DESIRED
ROM PRESETS
CANNOT BE MOVED OR
ALTERED UNLESS THEY ARE
FIRST COPIED TO A USER
LOCATION
The Preset is a complete set of all program
parameters for a complete Proteus FX
sound.
The preset memory is organized into two
banks of 128 user RAM presets (banks 0-1)
and two banks of unalterable ROM presets
(banks 2-3).
Each preset consists of one or more
Instruments. An instrument is a complete
set of samples or a digital waveform which
covers the entire keyboard range. An
instrument can be assigned to each of the
Primary and Secondary layers of the
preset.
The primary and secondary layers are
essentially two instruments with
complete modulation controls. The two
layers can be layered or placed adjacent
to each other, and can be switched or
crossfaded together in various ways.
Up to four presets can be Linked in
order to have more than one preset on
the keyboard at a time. The linked
presets may lie on top of each other to
create a dense layered sound or be
arranged side by side on the keyboard to
create a split keyboard.
INTRO - CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Basic Setup
MIDI In - Proteus FX is controlled by
MIDI messages received at the MIDI In
connector. Connect the MIDI In of the
Proteus FX to the MIDI Out connector of
a MIDI controller such as a MIDI keyboard, MIDI wind controller, or MIDI
guitar controller.
Outputs - Proteus FX is a high quality,
stereo audio device. In order to reproduce
its wide dynamic range and frequency
response, use a high quality amplification
and speaker system such as a recording
mixer and 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 are not
available. The right output jack serves as
a mono output when the left jack is not
plugged in.
INTRO - CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Studio Setup
MIDI In - In this setup, Proteus FX is
controlled by MIDI messages received at
the MIDI In connector which have been
routed by a MIDI switcher. The MIDI
switcher allows any MIDI controller such
as a MIDI keyboard, MIDI wind controller,
or a computer to be easily connected.
MIDI Out - The MIDI Out jack is nor-
mally used to transmit program data to a
computer or other device.
Outputs - Use a high quality amplifica-
tion and speaker system such as a recording mixer and amplifier or home stereo
system. A stereo setup is highly desirable
because of the added realism of stereophonic sound. The right output jack
serves as a mono output when the left
jack is not plugged in.
INTRO - CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Performance Setup
MIDI In - Proteus FX is controlled by
MIDI messages received at the MIDI In
connector. Connect MIDI In of the Proteus
FX to MIDI Out of a MIDI controller such
as a MIDI keyboard, MIDI wind controller,
or MIDI guitar controller.
MIDI Thru - MIDI Thru transmits an exact
copy of the messages received at the MIDI
In jack and is used to connect additional
MIDI devices onto the MIDI chain.
Outputs - Use a high quality amplifica-
tion and speaker system such as a
keyboard amplifier and speakers. A
stereo setup is highly desirable because
of the added realism of stereophonic
sound. The headphone jack is located on
the front panel. The right output jack
serves as a mono output when the left
jack is not plugged in.
INTRO - CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
POWER UP!
Before applying power, make sure that
you have received the correct AC adapter
for your part of the world (110V or 220V).
Always connect the AC adapter to the
Proteus before plugging it into the wall.
The power switch is located on the right
side of the front panel. The Proteus FX
and its MIDI controller may be turned on
in any order. When power is applied, the
liquid crystal display will light, indicating
that the Proteus FX is operating.
ABOUT PROTEUS FX
Proteus FX, unlike many synthesizers,
utilizes digital recordings of “real”
instruments for the basis of its sound.
This is similar to a tape recorder except
that in the Proteus FX, the sounds are
permanently recorded on digital memory
chips.
To perform this modern miracle, sounds
and instrument waveforms are first
sampled into the Emulator III, our top of
the line, 16 bit stereo digital sampler.
and the voltage measurements are stored
in memory. To play the sound back, the
numbers are read back from memory,
converted back into voltages, then amplified and fed to a speaker which converts
the voltage back into sound waves. Of
course, playing back 32 channels at
different pitches tends to complicate
matters, but this is basically how it works.
In Proteus FX, we have left out the analog
to digital converter stage since the sounds
are already sampled for you.
After the sounds and waveforms have
been truncated, looped and processed,
they are “masked” into the Proteus FX
ROM (Read Only Memory) chips.
Conceptually, the sampling process is
very simple, as shown in the Basic Sampling System diagram. As a sound wave
strikes the diaphragm of a microphone, a
corresponding voltage is generated. To
sample the sound, the voltage level is
repeatedly measured at a very high rate
