Utility functions include attenuverters, multiples, signal/CV mixer and summer for creative patching The MIDI channel of the Proton can be set using the 4 dip switches on the rear panel, or, if these are not available (eg when using a •...
Sawtooth Square/Pulse Your Proton has two analog VCOs, whose pitch can be controlled by MIDI (5-pin DIN or USB) or from a suitable CV source in the range -5 V to +5 V. The VCOs are capable of producing frequencies between 0.7 Hz to 50 kHz.
CV mixer in the utilities section. 3.6 Paraphonic Mode Pressing the para button puts the Proton into paraphonic mode, where playing two notes will assign one to each oscillator. The note priority can be set differently for normal mode and paraphonic mode.
19 PROTON User Manual Wavefolder The wavefolder works by ‘folding’ a waveform back onto itself to create complex harmonics. The Proton wavefolder has two controls and four modes. 4.6.1 Folds The folds control sets the level of folding that the wavefolder performs, turning it CW increases the number of folds. Turning it fully CCW has the effect of cancelling the input altogether.
Filters The Proton has two, independent, 12 dB/octave VCFs, which can also have some of their functions linked together. 5.1 Mode Each of the filters can be switched into either low pass, band pass or high pass mode. The current mode is indicated by an LED next to the appropriate panel graphic.
In patchbay. VCA 1 feeds into the Proton’s main and headphone outputs, but also have their own outputs on the 5.6 Soft Out patchbay, which do not break the connection to main and headphone.
ADSR Envelope Generators The Proton has two entirely independent ADSR envelope generators, which are individually triggered via the In patchbay. ADSR 1 is normally used to modulate the filters, while ADSR 2 is connected to the VCAs, although this connection can be broken using the In patchbay;...
23 PROTON User Manual Low Frequency Oscillators The Proton has two independent LFOs. Owing to space considerations some controls are shared between the two, which is achieved by use of the shift button. 9.1 Rate Each LFO has its own rate control, with a range from 0.01 Hz at full CCW to 200 Hz at full CW.
24 PROTON User Manual Triangle / Sine Sine / Ram 9.5 1-Shot When 1-shot is selected a trigger or gate received at the relevant LFO’s trigger in on the In patchbay will cause that LFO’s waveform to reset to the start of its cycle.
The Proton has two ASR envelope generators, which can be individually triggered from the In patchbay. Because the buttons are shared between the two the shift button in the LFO section should be used to toggle between the two.
12.5 External Audio Ext in sends and external audio signal whose level is controlled by the Ext Level control into the Proton VCFs (this is a duplicate of the socket on the rear panel); Out (in) overrides the internal signal flow and sends an external audio signal whose level is not affected by the Ext Level control direct to the Proton’s main output on the...
Assignable CV input which can be set to feed either nothing The Proton features a twenty four output patchbay, which allows (default), osc 1, osc 2, osc 1 & 2, VCF 1, VCF 2 or VCF 1 & 2. This can...
MIDI In socket. 14.6 USB This USB 2.0 Type B socket can be used to control the Proton over MIDI, for example direct from a DAW, and to alter settings and update the firmware via the SynthTribe app.
29 PROTON User Manual Extra Panel Functions Below is a summary of the control combinations required to access and adjust the extra panel functions. The extra panel functions can be switched on or off using SynthTribe, which makes these functions only adjustable using the app.
MIDI channel number set using the rear panel switches or SynthTribe app. The Poly Chain connections are shown in the diagram. Set the Poly Chain ON for all Protons. The last Proton in the chain can either be set to Poly Chain on or off depending on how you would like the MIDI information to be handled.
