The Roland INTEGRA-7 is a rackmount module released in 2013 by Roland. It is notable as it contains the same SuperNATURAL engine introduced with the Fantom-G's ARX boards lineup, as well as recreations of all of the XV tones and SRX expansion presets. Since it has 16 MFX slots and 16 parts, it does not suffer from the limitation of JV and XV synths where only a few parts can use EFX/MFX at the same time; in this sense it offers multitimbrality without compromises.[1]
Its engine has been iterated upon and powers current Roland flagships, and serve as a basis for the JV, XV and SRX VST plugins provided by Roland Cloud. As well as powering their current flagship VSTi plugin Zenology, sounds from the INTEGRA-7 also appear in it (such as the entirety of the SN Synth bank appearing in Zenology as a bank called PRST_D Basic Synth).
Onboard Expansions
While the Roland INTEGRA-7 has no physical expandability of its own, it features 4 'Virtual Expansion slots', with 17 selectable expansion options:
- SRX01:Dynamic Drum Kits
- SRX02:Concert Piano
- SRX03:Studio SRX
- SRX04:Symphonique Strings
- SRX05:Supreme Dance
- SRX06:Complete Orchestra
- SRX07:Ultimate Keys
- SRX08:Platinum Trax
- SRX09:World Collection
- SRX10:Big Brass Ensemble
- SRX11:Complete Piano
- SRX12:Classic EPs
- ExSN1:Ethnic (SuperNATURAL)
- ExSN2:Woodwinds (SuperNATURAL)
- ExSN3:Session (SuperNATURAL)
- ExSN4:A. Guitar (SuperNATURAL)
- ExSN5:Brass (SuperNATURAL)
- ExSN6:SFX (SuperNATURAL)
- ExPCM:HQ GM2+HQ PCM Sounds
- Unlike the other expansions, this expansion utilizes all of the slots if selected and its sounds are not editable.
Oddities
- Because the XV/SRX sound content is recreated, some effects and settings may differ from the original hardware due to architectural changes made starting from the original Fantom series in 2003.
How different depends on the patch, but particularly bad examples include PR-C 100 Vanishing - on real JV and XV synthesizers, it sounds smooth. While on the INTEGRA-7, it sounds more grainy due to different behavior of the Pitch Shifter MFX.
- The expansion content is seemingly stored in an encrypted form on an SD Card inside the unit.[2]
