All user reviews for the E-MU Proteus 1 XR

Poly 32 channels. Hundreds of sounds in ROM / RAM. 6 outlets. No onboard effects. Editable via buttons in front

UTILIZATION

Edition easy settings quickly attainable. Missing a low-pass filter. We can add two waveforms (sampled very well in general), the reverse, giving them a different starting point. Envelopes OK.Ce is not a rompler is a synthesizer with good basic sounds. Modulation of the plethora of settings via MIDI OK.

SOUNDS

Excellent for strings and choirs. Also great for bass. Piano gross. Synthetic sounds quaint, somewhat vintage. Anyway, it's big-big sound that kills, and very accurately sampled with a potato that others do not .. Some sounds are quite jazzy. To be used thus for something a bit "old fashin" you will never find good things to techno or rap in it. Rather "rock", heavy metal, jazz ... classical orchestrations or why not.

OVERALL OPINION

Best feature: the sounds of strings and choir. Minimum: no effects processor. The sound in general, or his definition quality sound (warm, vibrant imperial), make it an ideal tool for particular purposes.

The least: Some sounds have been heard / réentendus / used / reused in the best productions of the '80s. So the surprise is lost.
