SuperNATURAL-Powered Music, with Behaviour!
With the INTEGRA-7, there is an astounding amount of accurate
emulation you can create, to the point that you could mistake
yourself for playing a real acoustic instrument, not only by
browsing through all these realistic sounds, but changing the
behaviour of it, changing the way it is played as if it were a real
instrument. Furthermore when you're playing your keyboard or
controller, the INTEGRA-7 organically responds for amazing realism
and expression.
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tones
Have you been storing a full pieced orchestra in the cupboard.
No not at all! That's just the incredible authenticity and
behavioral actions of the SuperNATURAL acoustic sounds on the
INTEGRA-7. There are plenty of instruments to try out and develop
technique with, or should I say emulate, although in this case they
might as well be the same thing!:
- Grand Piano: Soft and hard keystrokes, natural decay,
organic note fading.
- Electric Piano: '68 Reed, '73 Stage, '78 Pure, '76 Tine,
and '81 Tine, all recreated and with the expression and effects you
need.!
- Guitar: Acoustic Steel, nylon, 12-string guitars,
flamencos, ukuleles and mandolin. Accurately reproduce strumming
and chord fingerings. Several electric guitar models, including a
single-coil Stratocaster, along with a choice amp simulators. Even
recreate guitar techniques like the "Jazz Octave" phrase.
- Strings: Portamento, Pizzicato, Staccato and Tremolo
techniques are all possible. Use violin, viola, cello and double
bass to full advantage!
- Brass: Recreate dynamic tone colour changes, including
saxophone over-blowing and french horn pitch-bend behaviour.
Staccato, fall, and growl techniques are at your fingertips.
- Ethnic Instruments: Shakuhachi from Japan, Erhu from
Japan, Sitar from India, Kalimba from Africa, all with their
distinctive behavioral techniques.
SuperNATURAL Synthesiser, Drums, SFX and Essential Legacy
Sounds
Whether you're looking to experiment with hundreds of PCM
waveform or live the eras of the '80s and '90s with vintage synth
sounds. It's all possible with the SuperNATURAL Synthesiser.
What's all that drumming upstairs? Oh it's only the SuperNATURAL
drum engine, derived from Roland V-Drums and responding to
Behaviour Modeling Technology. You can customise tonal transitions,
velocities and even get real-time control of speed and volume via
mod lever for incredibly realistic drum grooves.
Delve into the collection of sound effects within the INTEGRA-7,
including footsteps, door slams and many more. Imagine being able
to create a virtual audience, on the fly, via the control of the
mod lever!
The INTEGRA-7 is also packed with Roland's "greatest hits"
collection of synths down their ages, including the XV-5080, all 12
SRX Expansion libraries, vintage TR-808 and -909 drum machines,
SRX-05 Supreme Dance, SRX-06 Complete Orchestra, SRX-09 World
Collection. Also, you can load up to four SRX libraries
simultaneously through four of INTEGRA-7's slots. (Note: Since
INTEGRA-7 uses the latest MFX engine, the SRX expansion libraries
won't sound identical to their previous modules. The INTEGRA-7
can't load data from the XV-5080.)
360 Degree Motional Surround
Deriving from Roland's Roland Sound Space or RSS technology, you
can position sounds almost physically around you with special depth
features, beyond the normal left and right panning. Imagine being
able to replicate a room of instruments, an orchestra for example,
and pinpoint their positions on your speakers!
Why not then place yourself within the field of sound by
incorporating external audio. You could plug in an instrument or
audio player via INTEGRA-7's input.
Then again, it's not just about creating convincing acoustic
environments, but also using synths, perhaps to create beautiful
soundscapes that feel like they're enveloping all around you!
Premium Hardware
The INTEGRA-7 is encased in a rugged metal chassis and designed
for road touring and decades of use. It uses high-quality,
low-noise D/A converters, dedicated effects engines ensuring low
CPU load and an easy-to-navigate front panel with LCD screen.
The rear panel has versatile connectors, including stereo XLR
outputs, eight 1/4-inch phone outs, a digital output, MIDI
in/out/thru, and USB port which can support streaming audio up to
96kHz. There are input jacks on both the rear and front panels for
convenience.
Convenient Features and Add-Ons
Use the Tone Finder Wizard to search through the 5,000 onboard
sounds by logical categories and then get a preview of them!
Use an ultra high-quality GM2 sound set for playing SMF files
via external sequencers, take advantage of six additional
SuperNATURAL sounds, or plug a USB thumb drive through the USB
memory port.
If you have an iPad, you can use a custom iPad Editor App to
remotely control the synth parameters, part mixer and Motional
Surround, and also for selecting sounds and reading/loading the
16-part Studio Sets.
