SuperNATURAL not only mirrors the sounds of acoustic instruments, it also simulates the behavior of instruments when they're played. With SuperNATURAL, sounds come to life under your fingers. Whether used in acoustic or electronic domains, INTEGRA-7 puts a world of expressive sound in your hands. Go deep inside the programming engine and customize your own sounds or let INTEGRA-7 do it all for you. With so many great sounds on board and with INTEGRA-7's organic response to how you play your keyboard/controller, you'll experience a new level of realism and effortless expression. SuperNATURAL acoustic tones Here are a few examples of the SuperNATURAL acoustic sounds on board INTEGRA-7, and their realistic behavioral actions: Grand Piano: This gorgeous grand provides smooth, seamless tonal changes from soft to hard keystrokes and natural decay with no looping - the notes fade beautifully and organically. You can adjust a variety of parameters to customize the sound. Electric Piano: Recreations of legendary EPs are onboard, including '68 Reed, '73 Stage, '78 Pure, '76 Tine, and 81 Tine. These expressive pianos feature realistic key-off noise and dedicated effects, including a newly created phaser. Guitar: Reproduce chord fingerings, strumming and melodic performances of steel-, nylon- and 12-string guitars, as well as Flamenco guitars, ukulele and mandolin. INTEGRA-7 also contains several electric guitar models, including a single-coil Strat, and even an amp simulators such as Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, stack amps and more. Electric guitar techniques such as the 'jazz octave phrase' can also be performed easily. Strings: Pitches transition naturally from note to note when playing tied legato-style melody lines. Effortlessly realize portamento, pizzicato, staccato and tremolo techniques that are unique to instruments such as violin, viola, cello and double bass. Brass: INTEGRA-7 faithfully reproduces the dynamic changes of tone colors unique to brass instruments, including the over-blowing technique of a saxophone and the distinctive pitch-bend behavior of a French horn. Perform staccato, fall and growl techniques with stunning realism. Ethnic Instruments: Instruments from around the globe are on board, such as the Shakuhachi (Japan) with authentic pitch and tonal fluctuations caused by breath amount, Erhu (China) with the distinctive pitch bend when transitioning from note to note, Sitar (India) with realistic string resonance and Kalimba (Africa) with unique vibrating noise of the board and tines. The built-in ExSN1 (Expansion SuperNATURAL) Ethnic sound pack can be loaded into a virtual slot for more sounds. SuperNATURAL synthesizer INTEGRA-7's SuperNATURAL powers also reach beyond acoustic instruments. It's loaded with SuperNATURAL synth tones that meticulously recreate the fat sound of beloved vintage synthesizers, their expressive filters and unique envelope behaviors. Hundreds of PCM waveforms are on board as well, providing a treasure trove of classic digital synth sounds prevalent in the 80s and 90s. You can even edit the sounds intuitively on an iPad with the dedicated editor app. SuperNATURAL Drums and SFX In addition to the expressive acoustic tones and full-blown synth engine under the hood of INTEGRA-7, you'll find a SuperNATURAL drum engine derived from Roland V-Drums. Thanks to Behavior Modeling Technology, INTEGRA-7 can groove like a real drummer. Drum kits respond smoothly and naturally to velocity, with seamless tonal transitions from soft to loud. Play fast drum fills that don't sound like fake machine gun fire, and create fluid snare, tom and cymbal rolls with realtime control of their speed and volume via mod lever. The drum engine even has its own ambience effect, plus six COMP+EQ sets, which you can apply to the drum instruments individually. The SFX kits offer a variety of stunningly realistic sounds, such as car crash, door slam, footsteps, birds, river and more. Great for film scoring, some of the effects offer realtime control. For example, using the mod lever, you can realistically control the sound of a virtual audience (the amount of clapping and cheering) or the sound of an ocean tide, rain and wind. Essential legacy sounds on board Roland has a long, celebrated history of creating top-selling synthesizers, and many musicians still rely heavily on their legacy gear. With INTEGRA-7, a greatest hits collection of previous Roland synths is built in. All of the sounds from the XV-5080 are on board, plus all 12 titles from the SRX Expansion libraries, including SRX-05 Supreme Dance with essential electro sounds from vintage TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines, SRX-06 Complete Orchestra with a huge collection of orchestral instruments and dramatic sound-effects, and SRX-09 World Collection that's like an audio encyclopedia of ethnic instruments including rare, hard to find samples. INTEGRA-7 is equipped with four virtual expansion slots, which can be used to load four SRX libraries simultaneously. With all of these classic sounds instantly available plus a new stockpile of enhanced SuperNATURAL sounds, INTEGRA-7 brings the past, present and future together in one convenient instrument! Notes: Since INTEGRA-7 uses a newer MFX engine, the onboard SRX expansion libraries will not sound identical to previous sound modules and synthesizers. INTEGRA-7 cannot load data from XV-5080. Motional Surround INTEGRA-7 has a unique approach to spatial sound design. Motional Surround, derived from Roland's proprietary RSS (Roland Sound Space) technology, lets you control not only the left/right panning of sounds but also their depth, even placing them behind you! A solo instrument can be placed nearby, for example, while the backing or percussion instruments can be placed at a distance, thus creating a sound field with natural width and depth. Motional Surround is particularly stunning when applied to orchestral simulations. This exciting sound processing can also be applied to external audio: connect an audio player or instrument to the INTEGRA-7's inputs and immerse it in Motional Surround. Adjust the parameters in real time via MIDI, as well as with the dedicated iPad app or VSTi plug-in editor for your DAW. Motional Surround supports two-channel output, so you can experience the effect with just two speakers or headphones. 5.1-channel output is also supported for maximum impact with five speakers and a subwoofer. First-class hardware The hardware design of INTEGRA-7 is stylish and sturdy. Housed in a rugged metal chassis, it's beautifully designed and built to withstand decades of use, whether in a studio or a touring road rack. INTEGRA-7's internal components are premium grade, including high-quality, low-noise D/A converters. It's also equipped with dedicated effects engines, so you don't have to worry about CPU load; each of the 16 parts can have their own MFX and EQ, rather than sharing the same effects for all parts. Across INTEGRA-7's front panel are dedicated buttons for accessing sounds and effects quickly, plus a large value dial surrounded by navigation keys. The LCD is easy to see and you can adjust its contrast and brightness to suit the viewing angle and lighting conditions. On the rear panel is an array of versatile connectors, including stereo XLR outputs, eight individual 1/4" phone outs, a digital (coaxial) output, MIDI in/out/thru and a USB port that supports audio streaming at rates up to 24-bit/96kHz. For convenience and flexibility, input jacks are provided on both the rear and front panels. Cool features and add-ons INTEGRA-7 is packed with innovative and powerful features, including a Tone Finder wizard that organizes the 6,000+ onboard sounds into logical categories for quick location. Simply press the dedicated Tone Finder button and choose your category; once you find a sound, press the volume knob/button to preview it. The preview plays a suitable phrase for each sound, so you know what kind of articulation behavior it's able to produce. Other noteworthy features included an ultra high-quality GM2 sound set (uses all four virtual slots) for playing SMF files via external sequencers, six additional SuperNATURAL sounds (uses one virtual slot each), a front-panel USB memory port (which lets you conveniently store your settings on a USB thumb drive) and a custom iPad Editor App for iPad users who wish to control INTEGRA-7's synth parameters, part mixer and Motional Surround remotely, as well as selecting sounds and reading/loading the 16-part Studio Sets. Perfect partners for INTEGRA-7 include Roland's A-88 and A-49 MIDI controller keyboards. The SuperNATURAL button on A-88/-49 automatically assigns INTEGRA-7's most appropriate parameters to the mod lever, knobs and D-BEAM for controlling the selected SuperNATURAL sound. For pro music production INTEGRA-7 has over 6,000 internal sounds that span a complete musical universe of styles. To have the equivalent on your computer, you'd need to instantiate several soft synths and concern yourself with RAM and CPU overload. INTEGRA-7 has practically every sound in every category for music and film-scoring production, from essential acoustic sounds such as pianos, brass, drums and strings to ethnic instruments from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. It also contains a wide variety of SFX patches for adding dramatic impact to your songs and soundscapes. Activate Motional Surround to add new dimensions to your sound, such as orchestral simulations with stunning depth and realism! For television and radio If you need high-quality tracks for broadcast and you need them fast, you can feed INTEGRA-7 standard MIDI files and marvel at the beauty of the internal GM2 sound set. By using Motional Surround, you can also create jaw-dropping sound effects and jingles with incredible motion and depth. If you have a stockpile of pre-recorded jingles and effects clips, you can run them through INTEGRA-7's audio inputs and apply Motional Surround to those recordings. For music schools When teaching music composition, INTEGRA-7 is a useful tool to demonstrate sounds and instruments of the world, all from within a self-contained, dedicated device. With a recommended A-49 or A-88 MIDI controller connected and a single press of the SuperNATURAL button, you're instantly ready to take full advantage of INTEGRA-7's highly expressive sounds. Teachers and students can conveniently store and carry their custom settings via a USB thumb drive. For museums, art galleries and planetariums With INTEGRA-7's Motional Surround engine, you can create music for special exhibits that take audiences into new dimensions. Place and rotate the elements of your sound effects and compositions in a 360Ëš sound field while also controlling their positional depths. You can even use your computer or iPad to adjust the surround locations graphically. Motional Sound can be used in two-channel mode, headphone mode and 5.1-channel mode.
