==Plus Orchestral Board==
When the Proteus/1 released in 1989, it was stated that the Proteus/1 could take another 4 MBs of sounds with an expansion board that would be announced at a later date, which followed with the Plus Orchestral expansion later being shown at an E-MU Audio Engineering Society exhibit in Los Angeles in September 1990 and subsequently released that year.<ref name=protologic-macproteus>[https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/the-shape-shifter/7353 SoundOnSound "The Shape Shifter: Digidesign MacProteus And InVision ProtoLogic" by Kendall Wrightson]</ref>

The Plus Orchestral expansion adds 128 new ROM presets after the main Proteus/1 presets and 4MBs of samples selected from the [[Proteus/2]]. Upon starting up an upgraded Proteus/1, it'll refer back as a "Proteus/1+2".

==Oddities==
* There seems to be a mistake in the manual, as it lists the instrument tones up to 203, when there are actually 204. The 204th instrument tone is "204 Alt. Oboe" from Proteus/2 (which appears on that module as 40 Alt. Oboe),
