you normally should just wait a bit, like 3-5 seconds, and read the  
ad ;)

do you have multiple proteus devices and switched from one that does  
not have the M N O P controllers? because those are currently added  
(or not, depending on the deivce you have opened first) only on the  
first incoming preset dump.
so, if so, just restart prodatum before you switch from a p1k model to  
a p2k model for now, until i can fix this.
if not (or the M N O P don't show up after a restart (make sure  
autoconnect is disabled so you really connect to the p2.5k first)),  
could you run the test (File > Run Test), zip up the prodatum_out  
folder and send it to me?

thank you so much. compare it to the first prodatum version...i  
thought that interface was good back then. took me a while to realize  
that it is in fact... ugly. BUT, in the process of doing it, i have  
learned much about the proteus device (and synthesizers in general)  
and that enabled me to make a new design that kind of fits the hardware.
