E-mu Proteus Proteus 2000 - Rack Sound Module

Tested and works great!

This multi-effects is in excellent working condition. It even has the original protective plastic on the LCD screen. Power cord included even though its not pictured. One thing to note is that this is a 100% a Proteus 2000 but it says "Proteus Custom" on the LCD screen. Not sure if that was a factory mistake or a variation in manufacturing batch.

History:

The Proteus 2000 released in 1999 was a 1U rack sound module based on Audity 2000 released in 1998. It contained many "bread and butter" sounds,[3] among just over a thousand waves utilising 32 megabytes of ROM. It featured up to 128 voice polyphony and 32-part multi-timbrality.[4] It could be expanded with slots for three additional sound ROM cards. A cheaper Proteus 1000 model was also introduced with the same soundest and ROM but only 64 voice polyphony and fewer individual sound outputs. The Proteus 2000 also has Protozoa ROM expansions that contain patches from the original Proteus trilogy, where the first 128 patches towards each of the three modules respectively were faithfully re-mastered digitally from scratch that could be purchased to add onto the module, consisting a total of 384 patches of up to 16 MB of memory.
