PRE-SEQUENCE SETUP
Suppose that you want to have your sequencer set up everything for you
before the start of the song. Good idea. This will make the Proteus setup
procedure automatic and prevent the wrong presets from playing.
The basic idea of a pre-sequence setup is to send out MIDI information
just before the start of the song. This MIDI information will select all the
proper presets, adjust the mix, and pan positions of each preset.
Note: Proteus setup information should be transmitted from the se-
quencer before the song actually starts, perhaps during a lead-in measure
or countdown. DO NOT send setup information just before the first beat
of the song or MIDI timing errors could result.
INITIAL SETUP
In the Master menu:
1) Turn ON Multi-Mode
2) Turn ON Preset Change enable for each channel.
3) Turn OFF MIDI Enable on MIDI channels that are to be used for other
synthesizers.
PRESET, VOLUME and PAN SETUP
Program your MIDI sequencer to transmit the following information
before the song starts.
1) Select the proper presets for each MIDI channel used on Proteus.
2) Send MIDI volume information (controller #7) for each MIDI channel
used on Proteus.
3) Send MIDI pan information (controller #10) for each MIDI channel
used on Proteus.
