IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical
outlet that is being used by an electrical
appliance that is controlled by an inverter
or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing
machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner).
Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a
separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise lter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
• To prevent malfunction and equipment
failure, always make sure to turn o the power
on all your equipment before you make any
connections.
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched
o when the unit is turned o, this does not
mean that the unit has been completely
disconnected from the source of power. If
you need to turn o the power completely,
rst turn o the unit’s switch, then unplug
the power cord from the power outlet. For
this reason, the outlet into which you choose
to connect the power cord’s plug should
be one that is within easy reach and readily
accessible.
• With the factory settings, the INTEGRA-7 will
automatically be switched o four hours after
you stop playing or operating the unit. If you
don’t want the unit to turn o automatically,
change the “Auto O” setting to “OFF” as
described on p. 55.
* The settings you were editing will be lost when the
unit is turned o. If you want to keep your settings,
you must save your settings before turning the unit
o.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (or
other equipment containing large power
transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate
the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source
of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this device in
the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless
communications devices, such as cell phones,
are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or
initiating a call, or while conversing. Should
you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at
a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them o.
• When moved from one location to another
where the temperature and/or humidity is
very dierent, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the unit. Damage or
malfunction may result if you attempt to use
the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
• Depending on the material and temperature
of the surface on which you place the unit, its
rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the
rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If
you do so, please make sure that the unit will
not slip or move accidentally.

solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of
discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the
unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is
sent for repairs. Important data should always
be backed up USB ash drives, or written
down on paper (when possible). During
repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of
data. However, in certain cases (such as when
circuitry related to memory itself is out of
order), we regret that it may not be possible
to restore the data, and Roland assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that the contents of memory
can be irretrievably lost as a result of a
malfunction, or the improper operation of
the unit. To protect yourself against the risk
of loosing important data, we recommend
that you periodically save a backup copy of
important data you have stored in the unit’s
memory on a USB ash drives.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored in the
unit’s memory, USB ash drives once it has
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using
the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls;
and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the
display.
• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This
way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage
to the cable’s internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the
unit during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep
the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You
may prefer to use headphones, so you do not
need to be concerned about those around
you.
• When you need to transport the unit, package
it in the box (including padding) that it came
in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use
equivalent packaging materials.

precision components; handle the USB ash
drives carefully, paying particular note to the
following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from
static electricity, be sure to discharge
any static electricity from your own
body before handling the USB ash
drives.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come
into contact with the contact portion
of the USB ash drives.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject USB
ash drives to strong shock or
vibration.

01 Main Features
The INTEGRA-7 is a completely new sound module that contains expressive and high-quality
SuperNATURAL sounds in addition to a rich sound library from the ever-popular SRX series, as
well as “Motional Surround,” which uses RSS (Roland Sound Space) technology to oer a new
type of sound eld.
The powerful SuperNATURAL sounds are reproduced using Motional Surround in a deeper and
even more natural sound eld, allowing a truly new dimension of sound creation.
SuperNATURAL tones provide not only realistic sound, but also rich, natural expression during a performance
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tones
The SuperNATURAL acoustic tones built into the INTEGRA-7 do not merely reproduce the
sound of acoustic instruments, they also use Behavior Modeling Technology to simulate
the characteristic behavior of an instrument when it is played.
A dedicated sound engine tuned specically for each type of instrument analyzes the
phrases performed by the player, automatically dierentiating between chordal and
melodic playing to produce the optimal expression for a performance.
For example, the “violin” SuperNATURAL acoustic tone allows your conventional keyboard
playing to create a realistically expressive solo violin sound that sounds as if it were being
played by a violinist.
Crescendo
Glissando technique
Vibrato
SuperNATURAL Synth Tones
These are SuperNATURAL synth tones, which realistically reproduce sounds ranging from
vintage analog synths to digital synths. Each synth tone consists of three sets of OSC,
FILTER, AMP, and LFO, meaning that powerful synth sounds can be created using just a
single synth tone.
In addition, the behaviors of the oscillators and lters of analog synths have been analyzed,
allowing their distinctive sounds to be reproduced. The INTEGRA-7 contains more than
1,000 sounds, which cover every type of synth sound from analog to digital.
SuperNATURAL Drum Kits
The SuperNATURAL drum kits built into the INTEGRA-7 provide not only realistic, highquality sound, they also boast smooth tonal change in response to your playing dynamics
or to repeated strikes.
For example, the crash cymbal can be played not only by a powerful strike, but will also
respond to a light touch. The ride cymbal will shift through a variety of tones in response
to your varying dynamics. The drum will also respond appropriately to repeated strikes, so
press rolls, ams, and ll-ins will sound natural.
Repeated strikes on cymbal edge
Snare roll
What is SuperNATURAL?
These are proprietary Roland sounds created using Behavior Modeling Technology, which enables
natural and rich expression that was dicult to achieve on earlier sound generators.
What is Behavior Modeling Technology?
Not only physical modeling of the instruments, Roland takes it a step further by modeling the instrument’s distinctive behavior
that responds to how the performer plays, resulting in true-to-life, expressive sounds in realtime.

The INTEGRA-7 brings together the classic sounds of Roland synthesizers (PCM Tones)
Classic preset sounds from past models of Roland synthesizers, as well as the
sounds from the entire SRX series wave expansion boards have been included,
especially tuned for the INTEGRA-7.
The sound data includes PCM synth tones and PCM drum kits, and can be called
up from the preset banks and expansion banks.
Quick Guide
The sounds of the SRX series are organized into SRX-01 through SRX-12 just as on
the actual SRX models; when you load an entire title of sound data into one of the
four virtual slots, those sounds will be available for use.
PCM Synth Tones
These are sounds that were called “patches” on previous Roland synthesizers; they have been tuned specically for the INTEGRA-7. One PCM
synth tone can consist of up to four partials (waves).
PCM Drum Kits
These were called “rhythm sets” on previous Roland synthesizers; they have been tuned specically for the INTEGRA-7. A drum kit is a group
of multiple percussion instrument sounds assigned so that a dierent percussion instrument will be heard depending on the key (note
number) you play.
Multi-eects Usable for 16 Parts Simultaneously
All of the tones (SuperNATURAL tones and PCM tones) built into the INTEGRA-7 includes dedicated multi-eect settings.
Since a multi-eect can be used by each of the 16 parts simultaneously, the most appropriate multi-eect settings will be called up when you
select a tone.
Motional Surround lets you control not only left/right panning but also depth
The INTEGRA-7 supports two-channel output as well as 5.1 channel surround.
Using the Motional Surround function gives you even more freedom to
manipulate the spatial position of each part (p. 16).
Until now, sounds in a MIDI sound module could only be panned between left
and right. However, the INTEGRA-7 lets you specify the depth as well, allowing
you to create a sound eld that has unprecedented depth and spaciousness.
For example, a solo instrument can be placed nearby, while the ensemble or
percussion instruments are placed at a distance, thus creating a sound eld
with greater depth; or you can create a perceptual space that extends beyond
the actual speakers.
This eect can be applied to external input signals as well, so you can use it on
audio tracks as well as on the sounds of the sound module.

* To use the Motional Surround function, turn the [MOTIONAL SURROUND] button ON (p. 16, p. 34).
What is Motional Surround?
In the sounds we hear every day, the “direct sound,” which reaches our ears directly from the sound source, is combined with the “reected
sound,” which has bounced o various objects in the environment. The combination of these two types of sound gives us a sense of the
distance between us and the sound source. Motional Surround takes into account the state of the actual room, and simulates the way in which
objects in the room reect the sound, thus creating a three-dimensional sound eld.
In order to create the most realistic sound eld, the INTEGRA-7 contains a processor that generates a sense of distance, reverberation, and
directionality, and also performs format conversion.
As appropriate for your playback system, Motional Surround supports both 5.1 channel and two-channel output.

Types and Features of the Internal Sounds
For details on how to select sounds, refer to p. 12.
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tone (SN-A)
Changes in dynamics
From delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo, these tones provide natural timbral variation (dynamics) that goes beyond
mere changes in volume.
* Dynamics can be controlled by note-on velocity, modulation controller (CC01), and expression (CC11).
While a note is sounding, you can operate the modulation controller (CC01) or expression pedal (CC11) to continuously
control the dynamics (except for struck-string instruments and plucked-string instruments).
Legato
By playing legato (the technique of sending the next note-on before releasing the previous key) you can produce smooth
transitions between notes.
* To obtain the legato eect, set the Mono/Poly of the part settings to “MONO” and set the Legato switch to “ON” (p. 32).
Switching variation sounds
Each instrument provides eective performance variation sounds; you can use control changes CC80, CC81, CC82, CC83
(Tone Variation 1–4) to switch instantly between them as you play.

About the monitoring environment
• An acoustically dead space with minimal reverberation is ideal as a monitoring room.
• You should monitor at the sweet spot of your speaker system.
Concerning perception of a sound image’s location
• The ease with which one can sense where a sound emanates from can dier depending on the sound.
For example, it is dicult to perceive the spatial location of low-frequency sounds or sounds that have relatively little harmonic content
(such as sine waves). Conversely, it tends to be easier to determine the location of sounds having rich harmonic content and a distinct
attack.
• Perception of front/back localization can dier between individuals.

turned o. If you want to keep your settings, you must save your
settings before turning the unit o.
* When turning the unit back on after it was turned o by the
