Not totally true.  There are several versions of the "Composer" ROM.

In the Proteus 2000 & 1000, there is a CMPSR ROM with 8 banks of
presets geared towards the front panel layout of the 1U modules (i.e.
12 knobs).

The Proteus 2500 originally shipped with a "P2500" ROM which had 4
banks of presets tailored to the 16 knob layout of the P2500.  This was
later replaced by the updated "P-ROM" (for Pop Rom, I think, or maybe
Proteus ROM).  This ROM has 5 banks of presets, the extra bank being
primarily beats, as these were added in later.

The PK-6 comes with the same "P-ROM" as the newer P2500s.  In fact, the
Pop ROM was created for the PK-6, and was added to the P2500 since it
was strictly additional presets.

Having said all that, all 3 ROMs have the same samples and instruments,
just different presets (however, the ROMs do sound very different).
