Proteus Configurator
This page allows you to set up advanced options for Proteus. It will create a proteus_config.json file, which you put on the USB drive plugged into Proteus.
Instructions
Select advanced options and define custom scales below.
For each custom scale, click the buttons to indicate which notes you want to include in the scale. For each included note, you can then select a weight from 1-10. Higher weights mean that note is more likely to be chosen. You can choose the tuning of your scale as "EDO" for Equal Divisions of the Octave (i.e., a traditional western tempered scale, or "just" for just intonation.
Alternatively, you can define a scale by choosing a Scala file. Select the Scala file option, and then choose your file with the file picker. You will have to load any Scala files onto the USB stick and put them in a folder called

Advanced options

|
This option passes the gate from GATE IN directly to GATE OUT. This means that the output gate will have the same length as the input gate. |
|
|
When this option is on, knobs position will not affect the melody when the module is started up, until they are returned to their saved positions. |
|
|
When this option is on, the directionality of the lock switch is reversed. |
| Select the base voltage. Default is 2.0 volts. This is the voltage of the root note of the scale, with room to transpose up or down one octave. | |
|
|
v1.1 This option tells Proteus only to save to flash memory when the clock is stopped. This means you will have less frequent saves, but since saving takes a brief amount of time it can cause trigger delays. If you are playing live, or have a fast clock, leave this option on. |
| v1.1 If the "only save when stopped" option is off, Proteus will save every X loops. | |
| v1.1 This option determines the direction of octave transpositions from the base octave. | |
|
|
v1.2 Simple mode disables all the silver functions, putting Proteus in a simple one-knob-per-function mode. Values for Gate Length, Rotate, SlewTime, Slew Notes, and Brightness will revert to their default values and can't be changed with the knobs. You can still access the button settings in Settings Mode. |
