Gaurav Dayal, also known as TextX, uses the E-Mu Proteus 2000, as seen in an Instagram post by beatskillzplugins. The unit is positioned below the Rooster 2 in the setup, highlighting its role in shaping his sound.

When asked in regards to the modules Josh used on Crash Bandicoot, he said he used a Proteus/1, 2, and 3, Pro-cussion, Vintage Keys, Morpheus, and the Carnaval. Recalls all of them being the standard version. Later replaced either a Proteus/1 or 2 with a Proteus 2000.

"A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY!

Ex-BBC Radiophonic Workshop (Blake’s Seven, The Living Planet) and current film and TV composer Elizabeth Parker is selling the famous circular studio she took with her from the BBC when the RW was disbanded.

The studio is virtually complete, including nearly all the equipment she has been using on a regular basis in her profession - up to and including a film project she is finishing in the first half of November before the studio is dismantled. Just add a mother keyboard, mastering, monitoring, and video, and you have virtually the complete set- up used for prestigious projects like the BBC’s World Cup coverage, The Human Body, Weird Nature, Animal Olympics, the Monty Python Holy Grail DVD, Michael Palin TV series, etc.

The custom woodwork and cabling alone is believed to have cost £4500 in the late 1980s, and is probably one of the most famous studio designs in the world. When it was removed from the BBC, the installation and re-design at Liz's private studio was masterminded by Rupert Brun, one of the BBC's most highly respected engineers.

Full documentation is included in the sale. Removal and/or packing and shipping is a serious task, so please bear that in mind before bidding. VEMIA will assist at cost if you need."
