Suddenly, a producer with a $100 laptop in 2004 could access the same sonic palette that Trent Reznor used on The Downward Spiral or that Dr. Dre used on The Chronic .
Load it up. Find the "Pizzicato Strings." Play a major chord. You will immediately recognize that sound from every Weather Channel local forecast and every 90s Sega Genesis game.
What made the Proteus special was its gritty, punchy, alive character. The piano was thin but cut through a mix. The "Bass Guitar" had a rubbery slap that defined New Jack Swing. The "Warm Pad" was the sound of every Windows 95 screensaver and every JRPG town theme.
