Из описания The E-mu Pro/Cussion is a classic module belonging to the glorious "Proteus" line. This is a multi-timbral percussion instrument whose sounds are based on actual digital recordings of "real" instruments. The sound is typically E-mu: very clean, punchy and digital. There are hundreds of different drum and percussion instruments, easily available at the tip of your fingers (when using a controller keyboard or drum machine pads) or drumsticks (when using a trigger drum controller) The Procussion contains four megabytes of very high quality 16 bit percussion samples selected from the Emulator III sound library and stored on ROM (Read Only Memory) for instant access. But this is only the beginning. The Procussion gives you the ability to literally take these sounds apart and re-assemble them into an almost limitless number of entirely new percussion sounds, combining parts of one instrument with another or with any of a selection of digital waveforms also stored on ROM. The extensive cross-switching functions allow a high degree of musical expression not normally attainable from sampled percussion instruments. The 16 bit samples are arranged into 128 kit locations, 64 of which are user-programmable. Procussion also features 32 voice polyphony allowing you to take full advantage of its layering capabilities (up to 8 sounds on each key or drum pad) and its ability to respond multi-timbrally to all 16 MIDI channels makes it ideally suited for multi-track sequencing and composing using a MIDI sequencer. Other features include 3 stereo outputs for individually processing sounds (also configurable as 6 polyphonic sub-mixes with fully programmable panning), integral sends and returns to allow the addition of external effects units without the need for a separate mixer, and of course, an extensive MIDI implementation. The unit works with - obviously - all MIDI-equipped devices, but it's particularly suitable to be paired with a drum controller such as the Roland Octapad and SPD-series, Alesis, DrumKat etc. I also have had success just using a common MIDI keyboard controller.
