Roland INTEGRA-7 Owners & Installation Manual page 9

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.
* 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 "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.
