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 filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

•To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn off the power on all your equipment before you make any connections.

•Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the unit is turned off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off 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 off four hours after you stop playing or operating the unit. If you don’t want the unit to turn off automatically, change the “Auto Off” setting to “OFF” as described on p. 55.

*The settings you were editing will be lost when the unit is turned off. If you want to keep your settings, you must save your settings before turning the unit off.

Placement

•Using the unit near power amplifiers (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 off.

•When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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.

•Do not put anything that contains water on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

•For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, nonabrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or 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 flash 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 flash drives.

•Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory, USB flash 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.

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 offer a new type of sound field.

The powerful SuperNATURAL sounds are reproduced using Motional Surround in a deeper and even more natural sound field, 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 specifically for each type of instrument analyzes the phrases performed by the player, automatically differentiating 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.

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 filters 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.

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, flams, and fill-ins will sound natural.

What is SuperNATURAL?

These are proprietary Roland sounds created using Behavior Modeling Technology, which enables natural and rich expression that was difficult 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.

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 specifically 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 specifically for the INTEGRA-7. A drum kit is a group of multiple percussion instrument sounds assigned so that a different percussion instrument will be heard depending on the key (note number) you play.

Multi-effects Usable for 16 Parts Simultaneously

All of the tones (SuperNATURAL tones and PCM tones) built into the INTEGRA-7 includes dedicated multi-effect settings.

Since a multi-effect can be used by each of the 16 parts simultaneously, the most appropriate multi-effect 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 field 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 field with greater depth; or you can create a perceptual space that extends beyond the actual speakers.

This effect 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.

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 “reflected sound,” which has bounced off 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 reflect the sound, thus creating a three-dimensional sound field.

In order to create the most realistic sound field, 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 effect, 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 effective performance variation sounds; you can use control changes CC80, CC81, CC82, CC83 (Tone Variation 1–4) to switch instantly between them as you play.

SuperNATURAL Synth Tone (SN-S)

Realistic filter behavior

The INTEGRA-7 contains filters that simulate the classic analog synths of the past, producing natural-sounding change when you vary the cutoff frequency (CC74) or resonance (CC71).

SuperNATURAL Drum Kit (SN-D)

Changes in dynamics

From delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo, these sounds provide natural timbral variation (dynamics) that goes beyond mere changes in volume.

Eliminates boring uniformity even for repeated attacks

To avoid monotonous uniformity, the sense of attack will differ for each strike.

Ambience control for the entire kit

The drum kit consists of multiple drum instruments such as snare, kick, and hi-hat. You can control the resonance between instruments and the ambience of the room.

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 differ depending on the sound.

For example, it is difficult 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 differ between individuals.

Turning the INTEGRA-7 On/Off

Once everything is properly connected (p. 22), be sure to follow the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.

Turning the INTEGRA-7 On

Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

1. Minimize the volume of the INTEGRA-7 and your speakers.

2. Turn the INTEGRA-7’s [ ] switch ON.

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after turning the unit on is required before it will operate normally.

3. Turn on the power of your speakers.

4. Use the [VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume appropriately.

NOTE

With the factory settings, the INTEGRA-7 will automatically be switched off four hours after you stop playing or operating the unit. If you don’t want

the unit to turn off automatically, change the “Auto Off” setting to “OFF” as described on p. 55.

*The settings you were editing will be lost when the unit is turned off. If you want to keep your settings, you must save your settings before turning the unit off.
