To Set Up Proteus 2000 for Multitimbral Operation
1.
Set the MIDI mode to “multi mode,” using the MIDI mode function in
the Master menu.

Decide which MIDI channels you want the Proteus 2000 to receive (32
channels can be used simultaneously). If you are using 16 MIDI
channels or less, just use the “A” MIDI port. Use both MIDI ports if you
need more than 16 MIDI channels. You can turn any unused channels
OFF using the MIDI Enable function in the Master menu.
3.
Select the desired preset for each of the MIDI channels you want the
Proteus 2000 to receive using the MIDI Channel/Preset selection screen
(see previous instructions).
