"The Proteus 1 is a 2 Oscillator Analog mono synthesizer with patch memory. For more info, check out Sonic State

This particular Paia Proteus 1, which were sold in DIY kits back in the early 80's, is one of only 80 known sold by Paia. Who knows how many actually still exist, not to mention still work. The keyboard is based on CEM chips from Curtis. These are the same chips found inside the Prophet 5 and Memorymoog. This particular unit had a bad CEM3440, but I picked up a NOS one and replaced the bad one. The keyboard now works perfectly.

There are no bad keys, scratchy pots, or non working functions. Everything works and behaves the way it should. Even the program patch memory works perfectly. I replaced the batteries for the memory as well.

So what does it sound like? The closest match in tone is probably the Memorymoog, minus the polyphony. It functions very similar to a MicroMoog, only it offers more Osc. waveforms."

Back in November 21, 2005, I put up this post on OZNI Music Synthesizer Systems. CAndres who claims to have worked on the system just left a few comments. I've updated the post with those comments and thought I'd put up a new post let people know.

"Just resurected an old Moog Modular System 1P, built in August 1969. I aquired this Moog last month from a person that stored it in his attic for the past 17 years. After ordering the parts I needed to first rescue the 38 year old power supply, the final part arrived this past Tuesday. So I wasted no time installing the fresh caps and wire-wound trimmers. Got a nice steady +12 and -6 VDC, and I was ready to fire it up!
I still have to calibrate and clean the individual modules, but was able to coax some sound out of the old guy. Here is a small sample of the first music this machine has made in years. Using a Dotcom 960 clone to run a sequence, the old Moog started churning out what sounded very old school Berlin style rythm. Recorded live as I played a Synclavier II (violin) and my 2 dollar soundblaster (flute) over top. moogmodular.mp3"
