  • A few sounds off the classic E-mu Proteus/1 Pop-Rock expander module from the late 1980s / early 1990s. (controller keyboard: Roland W-30)

    I made a whole soundtrack for a short film in the late eighties with a Proteus and when I listen to it today it's incredible how good it sounded. Thank you.

      Still the best overall sound module ever made. Whoever put this set of sounds together was a GENIUS.

      @@fender1000100 Saying that the Proteus is still the best overall sound module ever made is perhaps not very realistic. The Proteus has no chance whatsoever against the Roland Integra 7 and similar more modern modules. Even a Yamaha MU2000 is far more capable and technically superior than a Proteus in many ways. The Proteus doesn’t have a decent set of build-in effects, not even reverb. All it has is a bit of chorus and that’s it. That alone is pretty sub-standard in terms of sound modules, even for the time when the Proteus was released. I mean, even the Roland MT-32 / D-110 / U-110 (1987/1988) and similar modules that were released during the pre-General MIDI era have reverb built in, but the Proteus 2-series (1990) doesn’t. Still though, the Proteus did sound quite good for its time especially when you started adding a touch of reverb and other effects externally in order to beef up the sound. But today, the Proteus is quite outdated and there are lots of better options out there. Even a Roland JV-1080 from 1994 is far superior when put against a Proteus 1 or 2.
      So no, the Proteus is not the best sound module ever made. Maybe it was one of the best for a short while back in 1990, but a lot of interesting alternatives started to show up already in the early 90’s, and around 10 years later there was no way anyone could realistically say that the Proteus 1 is still the best thing around.

    To this day there hasnt been a greater sound module than the PROTEUS 1. I remember first hearing this in 1989. Knowing all you would need is this a multitimbral controller keyboard and a sequencer. And you could make incredible music.

    PIANO
    CHOIR
    STRINGS
    CLASSICAL GUITAR
    BASSES

    I don't understand why so many people dislike or even hate these Emu Proteus sound modules, you still can buy these modules quite cheaply on EBay if your lucky.
    These Emu modules are still good as a starter instrument bank and I have heard the sounds are also editable so you can still use it as a pad synth and generally
    turn any sound into a synth. These Proteus modules also condensed the same samples from the Emulator's disks so these Proteus modules are also good as a more
    affordable and smaller alternative to an Emulator.

    So I found the software synthesizer Proteus VX to be an excellent replacement which like the Proteus X2, has excellent sounds, the famous Z-plane filters (from E-mu Morpheus) and awesome programmable effects.

    In 2019 I very nearly bought the Proteus/1 Plus Orchestral which is basically a Proteus/1 and 2
    in one module. I did consider buying a Proteus/1 in addition to the Proteus/2 but in the end I
    decided just to stick with the Proteus/2 since I mainly only wanted this module for the marimba
    sound but it is possible to get a marimba sound very close to the Proteus/1 by editing patch 70
    and assigning the xylophone tone to both parts. I also managed to synthesize the bell pad close
    but for stuff like the pianos basses and saxophone I prefer the Roland U-220.

      It's a killer bass patch for anything from Electro FUNK to techno. My mate used it to do a remake of Mjs wanna be starting something. And Snaps RHYTHM is a dancer. And it sounded amazing. And what makes the proteus really awesome. Is you can edit the sounds quite extensively.
      So there might be a sound on there that's close to what you want. And with some tweaking you can get it spot on and save it.
      The proteus to own is the PROTEUS 1 XR. You can save 256 user patches. When I first got it. The first thing I did was edit the drums to make a killer electro KIT. Then that bass patch. I rounded the attack on it. So it's pure moog style electro FUNK. And then I took the orch hit and flattened the sound to get that killer Fairlight type effect as used on Planet rock. Just an amazing module.

    i liked the style starting at 1:45 till about 2:20 something(the 2 guitars)...can you reccomend any classic rock pop tunes with that style(or piano)...i just can't find the songs that fit my VST yet(there are millions) BTW it's the Proteus VX...cool but, like I said" millions of sounds in the preset....have a good day!!

    Very attractive sounds? Could you tel me what's the name of the Clean Guitar at 2:09 please ? It sounds like a Stratocaster guitar with echoes... Very nice sound !

    I have always suspected that preset 040 was utilized in the first three seasons of the X-Files for all of the brooding, yet tense, underscoring. Perhaps you agree?

      I don't know, I would have to do some comparison - but I do know for sure (it was on a keyboard magazine interview) that Mark Snow used the Proteus/2 for the whistle: th-cam.com/video/sfvCuXOyry8/w-d-xo.html

      ​@@SynthManiaDotCom Very interesting, thank you! Up until today I was certain that the whistle sound from that particular score was from a DX7. I stand corrected. If I can find a SySex file online, I will attempt to load it to my Proteus/1. Here's to hoping that it is forward compatible...Thank you for proving that even with the most humble of synthesizers, the possibilities are endless, and new sounds may always be discovered...Best regards

      I've read that Mark Snow used the popular (especially during the '90) Korg Wavestation synth to build up the X-Files soundtrack. Also David Wise used it in Donkey Kong Country series.

    Which app did u use to learn how to play keyboards like that? Must be a really good app, you make the Proteus sound better than most mofos in Guitar Center playing the Montages, Nords, etc. At least now I get why 80s music is so boring - they had to learn to PLAY the MIDI notes to get it to do anything! talk about waste of time bro [WINK]

      I used the "listen to the records" and "listen to the radio" apps, very popular in the '80s, number 1 on the App Store in 1983.

      SynthMania I think the person was just trying to complement you.

      @DaveDaves 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yeah I was. But now I see why it was confusing what I said. You just so rarely see this level of playing on synth demonstration videos.

    Does anyone else experience a low output volume when playing their Proteus? I can't seem to find much about it. Otherwise, great sound and a real bargain.

    I have one of these units and it's really just collected dust most of the time.
    I guess it does have some good sounds in it

      I dig mine out every few years in the vain hope I'll discover some magic I'd somehow missed. By far the least capable synth I own - far better ROMples on my cheap Yamaha home keyboard.

    L
    I have the E-MU Proteus 1 + orchestral and never could find a good acoustic piano patches. I even did download lot of patches made for the Proteus 1 ( this did add 10 piano patches and a total of 511 patches) and all the acoustic piano just sounded like junk. Real wonder from where those piano patches ( starting at 4:00 and 7:00 in that video th-cam.com/video/Fd1-CseulDU/w-d-xo.html ) are coming from ??? Also, what is the name/number of the patch that starts at 0:10 ? Thanks!

    Getting an error message when I use mine . It operates for a little while then an error message pops up. I wonder if it's because I want to use multiple channels for my songs or because I want that as well as use my sampler and drum machine with it? I turn it off and come back. It works fine for a while and stops again? What's the deal? Is it some sort of midi thing? Too much at one time?

      Anybody find this preset in the soundfont? I went through all of them and diden´t find it. The closest is ZoundTrax, but i can´t quite get it to match the video in Ableton?

    My beloved Proteus 3 suddenly darkened the screen and began to emit percussive noises knock knock knock knock, it doesn't smell burning, it was working normally, I turned it off and after uncovering it, I checked it and closed it again, it turned on normally but after a few seconds the error continues, do you know what it will be? some help? Thank you
