Supernatural Mode - Roland A-49 Owner's Manual

About the Operating Modes

SuperNATURAL Mode

What is SuperNATURAL mode?
This is the mode that lets you control a SuperNATURAL sound module.
You can control the SuperNATURAL sound module that's connected to the A-49 via a MIDI
cable.
What are SuperNATURAL Tones?
Taking advantage of Behavior Modeling Technology, SuperNATURAL is Roland's exclusive
sound set that achieves a new level of realism and expression that were difficult to realize
with previous sound generators.
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.
