                             IMPORTANT!!!

          You must set your Proteus 1 (or 1XR)  to I.D. 00 to use these
          sounds.  Otherwise they will not load.  Make sure you save 
          current presets in locations 64-127 first as these will be
          overwritten.

                           ABOUT THIS BANK

This bank of 64 sounds attempts to take the Proteus 1 to its limit.  Most
of the patches are "linked" to other patches:  the entire bank is
interactive to a great extent.  I was hoping to create sounds that
were "fat", "dynamic" and changing over time, like many Korg Wavestation
sounds are.  To do this, the sounds were programmed using the crossfade
function on the proteus.  

                     Vector Style Implementation:

On patches where you see a "P" in front on the name you should move the
Pitch Wheel to change the sound.  Where you see an "M", move the mod wheel.
On many sounds, both wheels will have a dramatic effect on the waveforms,
so experiment.  Many "P" sounds have an "M" link and vice versa.

These sounds were designed to be huge.  They will use lots of voices  (some
up to 8 voices per note), and are best used in multi track tape
environments, or can be sampled.  If you use them with a sequncer, don't
expect to have alot of voices left over to add more parts, as the Proteus
only has 32 voices.  You may hear "voice stealing" on some of the thicker
textures.  This is normal.  Try to hold down fewer notes on these sounds.
This bank can be used as a "template" for sound of your design.  Keep in
mind that by changing one sound you may be changing many.  If you like one
particular patch and want to move it to another bank, make sure you move
the links and put them in the same patch locations.

                         Programming Tips

The Proteus/1 is one incredible instrument.  Its programming possibilities
are enormus if one gets deep into the instrument.  3 tips to help you get
there:
1.  Use the Aux envelope assigned to pitch, make it a long envelope and
lower or raise the pitch.  Tune it to a standard, non-aux enveloped wave. 
All the samples in the machine will sound different, which gives you the
effect of having more samples to play with.

2.  Assign controller B as well as A to the Mod wheel and assign different 
amounts to each wheel.  The mod wheel will become more expressive as you
can route it to more parameters.  Assign crossfade to the mod wheel and you
can move between 4 different samples by moving the wheel.

3.  For dramatic envelopes, use the aux envelope routed to volume to add an
extra rise or fall to the standard envelopes.  With this function Proteus
envelopes can be as complex as you want them to be, and is necessary to to
realistic emulations of acoustic intruments, like solo strings.  

These tips will take you deep into the proteus.  The deeper you go, the
more possibilities open; the more limitations you can surpass.


                         MidiFile Demos

The sounds are demoed in two format 1 midifiles called Vector1.MID and
Vector 2.MID.  I did this to help demonstrate some of the unique
applications of the patches.  They were done rather quickly and were not
edited so they are not gems. I just think its a good idea for sound makers
to include some kind of demo with sounds they upload.  

The file  VECTORP1.MDX is the sysex data file.  It will require a MidiEx
driver to load in your Proteus.  ST users should use ST MIDIEX.



Good Luck in your music making!
