The Proteus 1 Synthesiser in 2025 - Any Fun?

video upload by BucketBrigade

"Today, we're looking at the original Proteus sound module by E-mu, released in 1989. These were immensely successful back in the day and this one started it all, and so I decided to have a poke around the Proteus' patches to see which ones tickled my fancy.

Again, my thanks to Jon for lending me the Proteus.

If you have any stories about the Proteus, I'd love to hear them. Feel free to leave a comment or email me using the address in my channel description.

I appreciate my playing isn't maestro level, I'm no Doctor Mix unfortunately!! Expect more coming soon :)

The dry-signal version of this video is coming soon!

The Sound of Prince with the Oberheim 🎹

video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
When Doves Cry by Prince from the album Purple Rain (1984)

I used the 1010music bento with LM-1 samples and tuned the sound.
The bento works great as sample based drummachine for me.


And I used the Oberheim OB-Xa synthesizer for all synth sounds.
I played the guitar sample with the E-MU Emulator II."

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
Take My Breath Away by the group Berlin from the album: Count Three & Pray 1986

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.

My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

"One of the most capable synths E-mu veer produced. See Paul Nagle's review - he loved the sequencer as much as the unusually good user interface and massive amount of good sounds. Universal voltage - UK or Euro lead included."

E-MU Systems Emax I w/OLED and USB Disk Drive SN 2326

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Just the facts:

1. This E-mu Emax is in good condition.
2. This includes the E-mu Emax itself.
2. This includes an OLED display.
5. This includes a Gotek drive from Monotanz.
6. This includes an IEC power cable.
6. The original power supply has been replaced with a new supply.
7. This does not include the original factory box and paperwork or any floppy disks.

Please take a look at the pictures. As you can see, this Emax is in good condition.

Good condition Emax! Various skiffs and scuffs here and there from 35+ years of faithful service. This Emax functions great: all the keys work, the sliders and mod wheels work, the display has been replaced with an OLED display and is much more readable, the power supply has been replaced with a modern one (much cooler), a Gotek drive is installed and replaces the floppy disk drive, and all of the ins and out work.

I am including a USB key that about 350 disks loaded on it, including the factory samples, third party samples, and some famous samples from an 80s band.

That said, this is an old keybaord. There are skiffs and skuffs on the unit. The potentiometers and digital sliders appear to be in great shape, but there might be some dust and crackles to chase after and clean out sometimes. The audio ins and outs are working without issue, but keep in mind this is a noisy sampler (relatively speaking, compared to 2025 standards). This is old technology, but old technology that sounds AMAZING. But, not noise-free as you might expect from an Elektron device.

Overall, this Emax is in really good shape, and the front panel looks great. A lot of Emaxes I see online, the front panel sticker is de-laminating and peeling off. This one is in super great shape. Take a look!

Please understand this is a well loved sampler from the 1980s."

, also on Reverb "The following services were just done, which cost us over $950! IF you find another one for less than what ours is selling for, and since most of the used ones out there, that are supposed to be 'fully functional', turn out NOT to be; you will then need to find someone who would work on these (which is very hard nowadays), and then who knows how much it would cost to make it fully functional??! CONDITION IS EVERYTHING, especially for a collectible rare item like this!
