Getting Acquainted with the INTEGRA-7

Studio Sets

Studio Sets allow you to use multiple tones and drum kits simultaneously.

One studio set contains 16 "parts" for tones and one external part (EXT PART). You can assign a tone or drum kit to each part, allowing you to create an

ensemble or to play rich-sounding layers.

If you're using an external MIDI device or DAW software, you'll be able to independently control multiple sounds on a single INTEGRA-7 unit.

How a Tone Is Structured

A "tone" is a unit of sound used when performing. There are "SuperNATURAL tones" and

"PCM tones, " each containing their own effect (MFX) settings.

You need to select a tone from the sound library and assign it to a part. You can also

edit a tone and save it in user memory.

SuperNATURAL Tone

There are three types of SuperNATURAL tones:

"SuperNATURAL acoustic tones, " "SuperNATURAL synth

tones, " and "SuperNATURAL drum kits. "

SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tone (p. 38)

These tones do not merely reproduce the sound of

acoustic instruments, they also use behavior modeling

technology appropriate for the selected tone to

emulate the expressive power distinctive of each

acoustic instrument, such as the phrases performed

by the player and the differences between chords and

melodic phrases.

SuperNATURAL Synth Tone (p. 38)

These tones consist of three partials, and allow powerful

synth sounds to be produced by a single tone.

SuperNATURAL Drum Kit (p. 39)

These tones consist of 62 partials; they allow you to

sound a different percussion instrument for each key

(note number) that's played.

A drum kit is provided with six compressor + equalizer

units, allowing you to divide the instruments into

groups so that you can individually adjust the dynamics

of each group or modify its tone quality.

PCM Tone

There are two types of PCM tones: "PCM synth tones"

and "PCM drum kits. "

PCM Synth Tone (p. 39)

These tones consist of four partials. Each partial can

be turned on/off individually, allowing you to choose

which partials will be heard.

PCM Drum Kit (p. 40)

These consist of 88 partials, and allow for the play of a different percussion instrument sound for each key (note number) you press. A drum kit is

provided with six compressor + equalizer units, allowing you to divide the instruments into groups so that you can individually adjust the dynamics

of each group or modify its tone quality.

* The six compressor + equalizer units for a drum kit are applied only to one specified part of the multiple parts to which a drum kit can be assigned.

Make this setting in STUDIO SET COMMON (p. 32).

* Dedicated multi-effect settings are included in each tone (SuperNATURAL tones and PCM tones) built into the INTEGRA-7.

EXPANSION Virtual Slots

EXPANSION Virtual Slots are banks into which you can load "EXPANSION SOUNDS" sound data for use.

"SRX tones, " "SuperNATURAL tones, " or "ExPCM (GM2 compatible) tones" can be loaded into an EXPANSION Virtual Slot. "ExPCM tones" use all

four slots, meaning that they do not allow other tones to be loaded.

For details, refer to "04 Using the Expansion Sounds" (p. 14).
