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 patches made to run on this engine. 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]
It is also notable as it served as a basis for the JV, XV and SRX series of VST plugins provided by Roland Cloud.
Oddities
- Because the XV/SRX sound content is recreated to run on the Fantom-G engine, some effects and settings may be off by default. How off depends on the patch, but particularly bad examples include PR-C 100 Vanishing - on real JV and XV engines this sounds smooth, while on the Fantom G (and X, which it's based on) it sounds grainy.
- You can only load 4 SRX expansions at a time. This is possibly because the Fantom X8 only allowed for up to 4 SRX slots by default, or perhaps because an original XV synth only allowed for up to 4 SRX slots maximum.
- None of the SRX Special boards are included.
- The GM2 mode disables all the SRX slots, and replaces the patches with a selection of 256 non-editable sounds.
