Introduced in 1994, the E-MU UltraProteus is a Z-plane synthesizer with 16MB of ROM samples comprised of five preset banks. The first three are internal with the last two being accessed via the front panel card slot. This slot is PCMCIA compliant and accepts either ROM cards or user RAM cards. Each of the five banks contain 128 presets. The hyper presets are used for layering other presets, or setting up keyboard zones for using multiple presets with different keys.

Bank 0 — User RAM presets

Bank 1 — ROM presets

Bank 2 — Hyper presets (User editable)

Bank 3 — Card presets *

Bank 4 — Card Hyper presets *

* if using a RAM card, banks 3 and 4 are user editable.

The UltraProteus is based on the same engine as it’s sister, the Morpheus, but an entirely different sound set and additional filters (288 compared to 197 in the Morpheus). The 16MB sound ROM includes the complete sample set of the Proteus 1, 2 and 3. In addition, it includes new drum sounds, new waveforms, and the Proformance stereo grand piano. This gives it a great assortment of bright, acoustic instrumental sounds. While the UltraProteus has the entire sample set from the Proteus 1, 2 and 3, it doesn’t contain all the presets from the Proteus 1, 2 or 3, just the “highlights.”

ROM Cards

E-MU issued a total of 6 ROM cards for the UlatrProteus. Each card adds 1 preset bank, 1 Hyper preset bank and 16 MIDI maps.

RAM Cards

The UltraProteus uses a 256kB PCMCIA SRAM Type I (Part #9220) designed with a dual battery system. The primary battery is a replaceable but non rechargeable 3V lithium battery which lasts for about 10 years. There is a second on-board rechargeable but non replaceable battery for data retention during the primary battery change. This design allows replacement of the primary battery without data loss for approximately 20 minutes.
