E-mu Proteus Series

Just because it came up and I used it to play a bit with AI - the E-mu Proteus Rompler series.

There are two main series - the original Proteus and then everything that came after the Proteus 2000.

Documentation for the Proteus 2000 is available:

The corresponsing document for the Proteus 1 series has been lost in the Internet, here is a reference that it existed:

https://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/threads/e-mu-eos-sysex-guide.82938/

Generally, these devices seem to be very close to each other and mainly the number of banks etc. is different. What I don't grasp from the documentation is how compatible these are, given that "patches" depend on the ROM content, it probably doesn't make sense to send patches from a Proteus 3 to a Proteus 2, but what do I know.

Here is the full glory of the individual modules, with their factory presets preseverd:
