E-MU Announces FREE Proteus VX download !!

Ok, anyone that knows me knows that I just love free stuff !! ;o)

So imagine my excitement when I stumbled across an item telling me that E-MU have decided to release their Proteus VX software instrument completely free of charge ! And to top it all off, they’re including the v2 Proteus X Composer Bank. The only catch is that you have to subscribe to their newsletter. Seems perfectly reasonable :o)

Why are they giving it away ?

Well, of course there’s a reason and it’s because they are soon to be releasing the Emulator X3 Streaming Sampling Synthesizer software. X2 prices have been tumbling as low as £69.99 at Digital Village so it was on the cards. Here’s their blurb…

Yep, that’s right! As we release and launch E-MU’s next generation Emulator X3 Streaming Sampling Synthesizer software, E-MU celebrates and is pleased to announce that we will be providing the full version of our Proteus VX Software Sound Module software which includes the enhanced v2.0.1 Proteus X Composer Bank. (a special E-MU tweaked version of the Composer bank) that can be used in all versions of our Proteus X or Emulator X software. Proteus VX is not copy protected or card locked like other versions of our instrument and sampling software, and can be used either as a VSTi or in stand alone mode. You can get to the free download by clicking on the Proteus VX logo on the front page of www.emu.com

As well as coming with a massive soundbank as standard, you can also load up any other .exb file, which means this instantly becomes a gateway into the wonderful world of E-MU and some of their most unique sounds ! Pop along to Digital Sound Factory to grab a couple of well spec’d freebies and browse their store for more goodies. I can personally recommend their EMAX Collection, which converts beautifully into .exb format (I used Extreme Sample Converter) 🙂

So, anyway, grab it while you can !!
