E-mu Proteus 2 Orchestral

The soundfont brings the quintessential sounds of 90s television and gaming directly into your DAW. Released in 1990, the original hardware was the first affordable module to offer high-quality 16-bit orchestral samples, which were meticulously distilled from the legendary Emulator III library. Feature Highlight: The Sound of 90s Nostalgia

Applications and appeal

Does it Sound "Exactly" Like the Hardware?

• Use SoundFonts for learning, demoing, and non-commercial work.
• If you release a hit track with a Proteus 2 SoundFont, consider buying a used hardware unit as a "moral license."
• Alternatively, support modern re-creations like UVI World Suite 2 or Best Service Ethno World 6, which contain many similar sounds legally.

• Orchestral Strings: Rich, ensemble strings that sit well in a mix without needing much processing.
• Brass & Winds: Distinctive French horns, trumpets, and woodwinds that have a "pure" digital character.
• Percussion: The famous "Orchestral Hits" and tuned percussion (timpani, xylophone) that are heavily sampled in hip-hop and electronic music.
• Synth Pads: While focused on acoustic instruments, the Proteus 2 also contains unique hybrid synth pads.

• Setting the correct bank and preset numbers.
• Adjusting the MIDI channel and port settings.

Why Seek a "Full" SoundFont Instead of the Real Hardware?
