NOTE: Proteus will always start in whatever mode you were in when it was last shut off. So if the last thing you did before shutting the power off was to run P49, the next time you turn it on it will be ready to run that session again. Use: Press the middle (Mode) switch until the display read "Pxx". Now press and release the bottom (Select) switch; the display will step to the next program stored in memory. Next, press and hold Select and notice that the display steps through program numbers in sequence, three numbers per second; after two seconds it steps through them at a rate of six numbers per second. Release this key when you have reached the number of the session you wish to use, then press the start/stop button to begin that session. You can cause the display to step backwards as well as forward. To do this, just press and hold the bottom as above, and when the display start to increment, press and hold the top button to reverse the display. Interlude: what happens during a session? The preset sessions included with your system always begin with a soft-on period, during which the lights and sound fade gradually (over either seconds) into their maximum-programmed levels. The same process occurs in reverse at the end: the lights and sound fade gently out over the same period. If you want to stop a session before it is over, pressing the Start/Stop key ONCE will cause the session to being a twelve second fadeout. Press it twice (quickly) to end the session abruptly. If you would like to pause the session at the current pulse rate, press the mode/pause key. The left and right decimals will disappear as an indication that the session is paused. Several pieces of information can be displayed during a session: Current pulse rate. The numbers you initially see on the display are the current pulse rate of the session - notice that this often changes rather quickly. This is always displayed as a decimal number, ranging from 0.4 to 50.0Hz (pulse per second). Remaining session time. Pressing the Select (bottom) key once will toggle the display into the number of minutes remaining in the session. If that number is less than one, then you will see the umber of seconds remaining. Press select again to view the pulse rate. No display. Press the Select key again and the display will remain off for the remainder of the session. This will help extend battery life, and eliminate the low-level "ticking" sounds associated with the flashing decimal points. LightFrame flash mode. Notice the two flashing decimal points on the left and right hand side of the display. These indicate whether the lights are all flashing together or out of phase (red/green or left/right). This works both with older, single-color or the included multicolor LiteFrames. User Mode: Use this when you want to control the Proteus pulse rate and pitch without the use of a PC. Use: Press the middle (Mode) key until the display read "Usr", the press Start/stop once. The light and sound will start an eight second soft-on sequence. If you press it twice the soft-on sequence will be skipped and the program will begin at full brightness and volume. You can now control what is happening in real time, in the following ways: Press and hold the Select key to increment the current flash
rate from 0.4 to 50.0Hz. AudioStrobe Mode. In order to use the Proteus to decode AudioStrobe® discs, such as the included sampler, follow these steps: Use the included stereo patch cable to connect the out-put of your CD player to the AUX input of Proteus. Make sure that the AUX input has been set for AUDIO instead of DATA input: the middle decimal point should NOT be flashing. If it is, press SELECT and START/STOP simultaneously to select AUDIO. Press MODE key repeatedly until the display read "AS". Start your Audio Strobe CD and adjust the liteframe brightness and audio volume to a comfortable level. |
