Proteus VX borrows its internal architecture from its big brother, Emulator X3. Although Proteus VX does not have the extensive editing capabilities of Emulator X3, it does offer 16 continuous controllers for each preset. The 16 controllers allow you to create subtle to radical transformations to the sounds, then save them with the bank.
The included v2.01 Proteus X Composer bank comes with over 1000 presets covering an immense range of sounds from the Proteus 2000 MIDI sound module. In addition, Proteus VX can load any sounds from the Emulator X library, as long as they can be loaded into system RAM (Sample-streaming not supported on Proteus VX).
Proteus VX is not copy protected or card locked like other versions of our instrument and sampling software, and can be used either as a VSTi or in stand-alone mode.
Features:
Note: Proteus VX tutorial support is not offered for this free download. Very limited technical support is available for basic setup and install issues. Proteus VX will install and function for most users under Windows Vista, but this product is only officially tested and supported for Windows XP.

Not available from Creative any more. Creative have eliminated everything Ensoniq and E-Mu from their site except for a couple of pair of their earphones branded E-Mu. I have placed the Proteus VX and the Emulator X3 in Archive.org as abandonware.

This is really the all-you-need- vst!! But the down side of this VST is 1) it takes about 3 to 5 minutes to save just a small change; and 2) when using this and want to do something else, i need to start up my laptop because there is a problem with the sound and restart will solve that problem. So just go with this amazing vst, but keep others just in case.

I installed this software into another drive other than C: and both the VST and the standalone products cannot find the sounds.
How can I fix this.
On my computer everything is on the unit D, so I'm in the same context as you.
Let's see with the standalone version. At the bottom left of the window you have three tabs :
First click on the tab "Library" if you never did it, so that you create your library by the button "Update". Let the scanner search in all your system as it is configured by default for that. Don't worry, it is quite fast.
Once done, you should now see two trees appearing in this "Library" tab:
And you're ready.
Now choose a preset and drag&drop it on the GUI. Beware, if you simply click the preset name instead of dragging it... the GUI disappears! To make it appear again, simply click the name Proteux VX which is on blue background at the top of the list, then now make carefully your drag&drop from the preset.
You can use the internal keyboard for your first tests. To make it appear, click on the little button showing a keyboard in the toolbar at the top of the windows.
Play around with this first very short tutorial... then read the excellent PDF help file. Especially starting from the page 27. The PDF help file of Proteus VX is really awesome.
If you don't have the PDF help file, don't hesitate to tell it here.
Enjoy.
Is there a method for getting them all to the sampler tab in one move?
Probably. I have never tried.
You don't have the PDF help file ?
Tell me. If you don't have it, I'll upload it.
I have the PDF.
I'll read it but I thought it would as simple as Dragging and Dropping them from one Tab to the other.
Might not be possible.
where does one find the free dwnload.
At the bottom of this page:

(the links work, I just tested them again).
And if in addition someone wants the French version of the PDF manual, it is here:

Amazing. Thank you.
That actually worked. :) You can right click as save as also.

I've downloaded it, but when I open every single exb bank file I downloaded, it always says "This is not a valid EOS or Emulator X bank file." in Proteus VX. I thought I installed Proteus VX just fine but it seems to be a problem in the software itself.

UPDATE: Okay I solved the issue, I ran it as administrator and NOW it opened the bank files just fine?! I never expected that whatsoever....
Thanks for that info - I spent a few hours installing, uninstalling and reinstalling on Windows 11, and couldn't get it to load any soundbanks - same message as in your thread. Ran it as admin and bingo! it works :-) :-).
I am getting an error when I try an authorise the software, the servers to accept the serial number are down, anyone have any ideas how to remedy?
This is old Windows XP software. On Windows 10, Right click C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative Professional\Proteus VX/ProteusVX.exe.
Run in compatibility mode : Right click, ProteusVX.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (or 2).
