DX200 Patches by Dan (studio-central member)
Here is the sysex of my DX200 user bank (128 patches).
The patches are in no particular order and many don't have any sequence pattern
data. (One of the quirks of the DX200 and AN200 is that the patch data is
inseperable from the sequence pattern data.) A few of the patches are personal
favorites from the DX200's factory presets (or tweaked vewrsions thereof) and quite
a few are DX7 patches that I've found and, in many cases, tweaked. One of
my personal favorites is #124...sounds just like the PPG Wave at the beginning of
Robert Palmer's, "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On".

Proteus
2000 Now in SoundDiver
and Sysex format
"Electronica Collection"
Final Update 15
Here's 127 presets--a full bank--
made with a stock proteus 2000. Lots of industrial noises, LFO's synced to
clocks, drum loops (yep, figured it out) ambient and trance effects, and a better
OBX horn patch then you'll find in the factory programs. There's pads, clocked
voxs, arpeggios, space FX too. TX basses are now refined 'cause you have to
have these just right. Just added some well tweaked orchestras, massive pads
and a somewhat better pipe organ (it will improve)! Oh! You also get some "default"
patches that I made that optimize knob twists along the lines of the P2k conventions.
These are incredibly valuable because you can simply change instruments and get
hundreds of great analog-ish tones. And check out the classic guitar--didn't quite
finish it tho.

This is the beginning
of what may end up being a commercial bank. So it's a bank in development right
now-very experimental--as I am pushing the p2k to its limits to see what
I can get away with. You'll find more than a few surprises as some sounds
I've made have nothing like it in the factory banks.
As of Update 13: Now that I've made
127 presets I have now started the task of refining and adding the tweakheadz touch
of quality. I've made the file available in SoundDiver format The tentative
title of the project is called the "Proteus 2000 Electronica Collection".
Keep in mind these are not what I consider to be professionally finished though
several patches are now in their second or third revision. It generally takes
me 5-6 revisions of a patch to make something that's 1. good sounding, 2. useable
and 3. sonically inspiring (and in my products, I may go up to 10 revisions). Most
of these have 2 out of the three, but there are some standouts that will show you
what your p2k can do.

SoundDiver
Bank
Note: This SoundDiver bank is in .lib format.
Once you load it into SoundDiver you can drag the presets to where you like in the
memory manager. Make sure your unit is set to MIDI Sysex Device ID 000.
Download
SysEx bank as a MIDIfile (made with Logic, but should work with
others)
Note: If you do not know what sysex is, please
read up on it before you mess with transfers of data. This bank requires a
sequencer that supports sysex in Midifiles, like Cakewalk, VST or Logic. Set
your sequencer to 120 bpm and make sure no other midi events are sounding.
Backup your current bank 1st. These sounds are radical and are significantly
louder than the stock proteus presets.
Download
Sysex Bank as a Cakewalk file
Note: Make sure you set the port of
this sysex file to the port your Proteus is on. This is a bulk dump of the
entire bank. In cakewalk, go to VIEW, then SYSX to load and transmit the bank
--kindly don't ask me to convert to your library
format. I no longer use Unisyn, don't have galaxy or midiquest.

Here's examples of my work programming
various synth modules. The .MID files were generated by Unisyn (PC). The .ZIP files
were made with XOR2 (Atari). If you have Unisyn or XoR (any platform, but not the
Amiga) all the files will work. If you don't have either of these programs (buy
them!) you may put the .MID files in any sequencer that will read MID sysex files
(not all will) when you press play the data will be sent to your synth. On the Proteus
units, set your UNIT ID as follows: Proteus 1XR (00) Proteus 2 (01) Proteus 3 (02).
Again, the ZIP files will not work without XoR or Unisyn. Always back up your data
before messing with sysex.

QS7/8/R
- Tweakz QS. Here's about 80 or so
programs (no mixes) I found in my libarary that I think are unique, though some
may be represented on the expando banks. A lot of these were programs I developed
for the sanctuary and classical cards, but I revised them to make them work with
the stock QS8/7/6.1/R. This is a Zip file and it will load into Unisyn only.
Unisyn came on your CD so use it.
Download and enjoy.

The
Ultimate Proteus General Midi Bank. These sounds were designed for a
Proteus
/1XR with the Invision Upgrade installed. 255 sounds. The 1st 127 are GM sounds
(snooz!) and the 2nd 127 are really cool big and bold sounds. You need a Proteus
XR to get to the sounds 0-63 and 128-255. If you don't have the Invision
upgrade board (which adds another 4 megs of samples) installed all the sounds
will not work--but many will! .MID format. Filename is
p1_gmidi.mid

The Vector Plus
Orchestral Bank for the
Proteus 2. This bank contains 64 fat orchestral
textures. They have been road tested for several years in my studio. Make sure
you play the controllers on these sounds as the wheels are programmed to dynamically
"morph" the timbres in real time. Check out Chgo Symph, Big Timpani, Soft Orch.
Get
vectorp2.zip. The programs were made on a stock non-XR Proteus
2 and will load into patch locations 64-127. This is some of my better work. Free!

The Proteus/3 is very
much underrated as a module, given all you can do with it. Here's my
Eclectic
Collection--64 "worldish" sounding presets. Lots of deep layers, sound fx,
environmental stuff, and, you might not have known this but the p/3 does excellent
electric guitars--check out my Fender Mustang, Gibson ES 335. Download

Updated 9/21/98
Here's a Unisyn Bank for the Wavestation SR. It contains
50 performances, 34 patches and 32 Wave Sequences. This file is zipped. Do back
up your data before you load this bank as XoR Unisyn banks for the SR will replace
all your SR's RAM. Download
wstation.zip Also note this file is
only for the Wavestation SR as
it uses the expanded sample banks. And you must have Unisyn!
