Proteus system
The Preset is a complete set of all program parameters for a complete
Proteus sound. There are 192 preset locations in the Proteus.
Presets 0-63 are unalterable factory presets, presets 64-127 are user
presets which can be changed, and presets 128-191 are unalterable
factory presets.
Each preset consists of one or more instruments. An instrument is a
complete set of samples or a digital waveform which covers the entire
keyboard range. An instrument can be assigned to each of the
Primary and
Secondary layers of the preset.
The primary and secondary layers are essentially two complete sounds
stacked or placed adjacent to each other, and can be switched or
crossfaded together in various ways.
Up to four presets can be Linked in order to have more than one preset on
the keyboard at a time. The linked presets may overlap each other for
layered sounds or be adjacent to each other to create keyboard "splits".
