SuperNATURAL
These are proprietary Roland sounds created using
Behavior Modeling Technology, which enables natural
and rich expression that was difficult to achieve on earlier
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.
