So it was that when asked to review a new Emu module, I mentally dismissed it as 'just another Proteus with a few knobs added'.
Sometimes even the latest all-singing, all-dancing box of hi-tech delights fails to excite, like a book with a flashy new cover concealing a story we know we've read before. I think we all go through periods where we start to feel we've seen it all. Emu's synths may have broken no new ground since the 1999 launch of the Proteus 2000, but the new 2500 plays to their strengths, offering the best of their sound library, plus excellent sequencing and real-time control capabilities, at a very attractive price.
