Why I chose this pack? My old SBLive commenait Seriously, she had no Optical I / O, and no alternative except with ASIO drivers which then deprive us of soundfonts ... at the same time the sounds of my WK-1500 were not enough for me and I wanted numriques sound quality to couple with the analog synth I prvoi buy. So i was first interress by EmulatorX Studio, but for lack of money I look over the new kid nearly ProteusX and ... I craqu!

My system:
KT4V MSI-L (VIA chipset)
Barton 2500+ @ 2.1GHz
1024MB DDR333 SAMSUNG
Win2000 Pro
200GB Seagate HDD

I use ProteusX with Magix Music Studio 2005 standalone connected by MidiYoke (because in a vst train too). Map cohabit a few hours with no problem !, SBLive conflict apparently. I connected my analog mixer and optics on the MD deck, and well on my MIDI keyboard.

For now they are squatting my ddi computer graphics system until I redo a system ddi music, apparently the presence of softwares like 3ds Max or Painter does not interfere all tand and it is better for those who want to do their image.

edit: I have since had several problems of outline map, but in general has to rule fairly easily, see the forum. If not for ProteusX, I also have a big problem that I still have not rgl (but I seem to be the only one in this case): the notes he comes not rguli res at all .... Listen: beat (http://dj.dom.free.fr/perso/battements_desync.mp3)

USE

No problem for the installation.

For the 0404 and PatchMix: well i was lost with all these new features, the routing, the Changing the Image with ASIO, and everything ... total change of scenery to the world of SBLive. But will, it's not very complicated actually.

For soft ProteusX itself: The interface was not too difficult to understand sembl, I had never used such a program yet. The only thing I struggled to understand is how to effect.

IMPLEMENTATION

The drivers for the card have me very stable air, we'll see if I always said as much in six months.
edit: 9 and a half months after well ... It's a bit Gnant map that becomes silent time to time ...

This is my first card with ASIO drivers, I find really great! I put 2ms to play a keyboard instrument, and 10ms for projects on several tracks, and I have no crunch.

For sounds, I found a lot of everything, there's a bit of everything and it's pretty good quality in general (but I'm not a connoisseur of all, I am r eng nothing). The drumkits are not exactly what I want but poura be useful occasionally, I think they will appeal especially those who love us hiphop and jazz.

on the other hand I t very trsdu by the famous piano 2CD (by the way I found quite funny the 2nd cd that is only 3MB ...). The sound is so enferm sometimes looks like they have sampl another piece ... you can clearly hear the passage of a vlocit one with some notes on a downright leap accompanied by a change in standard ... to top it off there's breath, and there's a preset with a note out of place ...
A small demo to mp3, voil what I did the second afternoon to toy with:
Xenon II remix ( http://tvseries.remix.free.fr/test%20E-MU%20ProteusX%20-%20%27Proteus%20Composer%27%20bank%20-%20Xenon%202%20remix%20-%20by%20dj.dom%40free.fr%20%20.MP3 )dropoff Window
It is the music of an old video game 'Xenon II', I quickly-made squenc to try, and I have found that has sounded great over what I 'had before. I used the bank 'Proteus Composer'.
edit: In 21 months, c'tait the only time where I was able to use it properly ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 4 days so I am far from having explored all the possibilities of this new toy. Anyway I love.
edit a year and half after: the card is great but I can not use ProteusX so it leaves me irrgulires notes ...

I was going to put a good 8+ but I take 1 point for support only from Win2K and WinXp.

I do not withdraw my point problem, since I am the only one to have it.
