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 ampli-

fied 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 Sam-

pling 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
