The Proteus X File Converter

The Proteus X Converter is a special application that enables you to convert most 
popular sampler formats into the Proteus X’s .exb file format, for use in your Proteus X. 
Any source media may be used, such as CD-ROM’s, fixed hard drives, ZipDisks, all 
removable media, magneto-optical drives, and all others. Exception: floppy media is not 
supported, however, see notes on possible workarounds.

Supported File Types

The Proteus X file Converter can convert the following types of files into Proteus X 
format:

•

Akai S-1000/3000

•

Akai S-5000

•

Emu E3/ESi

•

Tascam GigaStudio

•

SoundFont

•

Emagic EXS-24 Mark I and Mark II

•

Steinberg HALion I and II

If you don’t have sounds for any of these products, you won’t need to use the File 
Converter. Keep the application installed in case you ever want to convert file formats.

IMPORTANT: You don’t have to convert Emulator IV banks! 

Simply locate the desired EIV bank using the 

System Tab

, then 

Open

 or 

Merge

 the 

bank.
