Basic Operations

Front Panel

The Proteus 2000 front panel contains an LCD screen, nine buttons and

four real-time controllers. Functions are grouped logically and the controls

are arranged for ease of use. Precisely because Proteus is so simple to use,

you might be tempted to skip this section. If you just can’t help yourself, at

least read the Real-time Controller information beginning page 23. There

are several “power user” features in the interface which make programming

even easier and we wouldn’t want you to miss them.

Volume Control

This control is the master volume control for all audio outputs. The Volume

Control does not affect any editing or user interface operations.

Master Button

The Master menu contains parameters that affect the entire machine, not

just certain presets. An illuminated LED to the right of the button indicates

that you are in the Master menu.

Edit Button

Use the Edit menu when you want to create or modify a preset. An illumi-

nated LED to the right of the button indicates that you are in the Edit

menu.

Control Button

The Control button is used to change the function of the Controller knobs

(see the next section). Each time you press the Control button, the Control

Mode toggles to select only one of the three Control Rows. The currently

selected Control Row is indicated by one of the three LEDs to the right of

the row’s label.
