Description
This was given to me by a friend who didn't find much use for it, it was seldom used, and being a more traditional keyboard/piano player, preferring the traditional piano sound backed up for fullness with pads or string sounds, I didn't use it either. I'm one who plays and improvises but not inventing new sounds.I can provide additional information from the manual, if you contact me.
Here's a description of this equipment from a Reverb posting, for this same item, the Reverb-sold item was used by a famous B-3 keyboard player, John Novello. The equipment listed here cannot claim that it was used by any famous musician, but I can claim it has been well cared for and in good condition, and seldom used. It also comes with the manual and power cord, as well as being equipped with the rack mount "ears."
DESCRIPTION:
The Proteus 2000 is a reincarnation of the economic rack module series of the early nineties. While its synthesis architecture is virtually the same as the original Proteus, the Proteus 2000 is packed with major new features, sounds and expandability for the most demanding professionals!
It features 128-voice polyphony and 32 MIDI channels allowing it to handle even your most complex MIDI sequences. It ships with a whopping 32 MB of sample ROM memory which is expandable up to 128 MB using four internal ROM slots! The sounds it ships with are called the "Composer" soundset, offering you 1,536 presets (1,024 ROM, 512 user). The sounds cover the whole spectrum of synthesizer type sounds, from real instruments to bizarre sounds and effects.
As seen on previous Proteus modules, there are six individual polyphonic outputs. But unlike its predecessors there are now multi-mode resonant filters (plus 50 Z-Plane filters passed down from the and UltraProteus). Plus four real-time controls allow you to access any of up to 12 parameters, giving you instant control over your sounds right from the front-face of the module. The Proteus 2000 is a light, compact module designed for use with sequencers. It can be your main sound module, or one of many. Either way there's an immense amount of great sounds at your fingertips for any music application!
