dansouth Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I think the Proteus might be nice. I have enough Roland gear already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod S Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I demoed a Proteus 2000 and I was blown away. It's definetly a great 'swiss army type' synth, tons of patches and a good overall selection. If I was shopping for a module to cover many bases I would definetly look into it. I thought a lot of the analog emulation was actually quite good for a rompler.

R_dup1 Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 The Proteus 2500 is a great module! I have not played the roland and it got mixed reviews from people I know who have played it. I think the 2500 has high quality sounds and is very functional and expandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Teeth Posted December 20, 2001 Author Share Posted December 20, 2001 Dont you know where could be found mp3 demos of these devices? What do you think of sp88? it really sound like the mp3 demos in the kurzweil site? Rebuilding My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenthplanet Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 The Rs-9 is nice, but you need to keep in mind there is not a lot to be tweaked so you really have to like the sounds. Proteus is also good choice and it's more tweakable. I,m lukewarm on the SP-88. It's sounds Ok but I just...I personally would take the Roland over it.

KTempo Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 To listen to the demos, you can go to: www.procom.no and select "demoer..." I'm not sure if the Proteus 2500 is on there but the RS-9 is. You can also check www.zzounds.com They put a lot of MP3 demos of synths/modules on their website as well as www.marsmusic.com Also, go to www.emu.com and listen to the MP3s of EMU/Ensoniq gear.

Magpel Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I ad the RS5 for a week and took it back. Sounds didn't overwhelm me, though many were nice. No real editing to speak of. I bet the 2500 is a much more robust machine. The RS is a very good value at the price, but not kick-ass synths, IMO.
