Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Feb. 27 2008, 03:02 Hi. Can anyone tell me how to reinitialize an Emu Proteus2000 rack synth? Usually its some combination of buttons held down while powering up, but I could not find it in the manual.

I love the random placing of patches approach they use too......im just overwriting the dire sounds with my own random patches instead heh. Back to top

Ray Group: Members Posts: 857 Joined: Jan. 2000 Posted: Feb. 27 2008, 14:55 plug it into an iphone and select from the iphone menu - Initialise Proteus.   That usually works.   you should call E-MU in Scotland and ask them.  I know some old musicians/synth nuts - who may know if you cant find anything on the web - but i'll have to make some calls - let me know if you don't get any answers on the web.

But seriously...I don't own one of them, so I can't say if this works or not, but the procedure described here sounds believable. Back to top

Ahh, back in my days working for Tandy, I remember that item Korg. However, I seem to recall a good rubber bat was the best tool for an EMU, or else sticking your hand up it's back side. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Make sure to backup any custom presets.   1. Power off the module.   2. Hold both cursor keys (arrow keys) down while turning on the power. Continue holding the cursor keys until the unit boots up in the diagnostic text menu.   3. Stop holding down the cursor keys and turn the data wheel to the right until Initialize User Data is displayed.   4. Press the Home/Enter button twice.   5. When Calibrate Knobs is displayed, press Home/Enter twice and follow the directions to calibrate the knobs.   6. When Reboot is displayed, press Home/Enter twice to reboot the module. The preset information should be reset to the factory defaults.     I found it on Emu's site......duh!

Although you could say why didn't we think of that!! It was fun looking for you answer though - at least I now know what a EMU is, but I also found out that they lay green eggs!!!!
