About SuperNATURAL Sounds
The SuperNATURAL acoustic tones do not merely reproduce the
sound of acoustic instruments, they also use Behavior Modeling
Technology to simulate the characteristic behavior of an instrument
when it is played.
A dedicated sound engine tuned specifically for each type
of instrument analyzes the phrases performed by the player,
automatically differentiating between chordal and melodic playing
to produce the optimal expression for a performance.
For example, the "guitar" SuperNATURAL acoustic tone allows your
conventional keyboard playing to create a realistically expressive
solo guitar sound that sounds as if it were being played by a
guitarist.
What is 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.
What is 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 real-time.
Each SuperNATURAL instrument provides effective performance
variation sounds; you can use [S1] and [S2] (default) to instantly
switch between them as you play.
You can also assign dedicated effects to CC1~CC3 sliders (p. 130).
For the list of variation sounds please see the "Tone & Drum Kit List".
You can download it from http://www.roland.com/manuals.
MEMO
As default [S1] and [2] button are assigned to "SN Variation 1 "
and "SN Variation 2".
Using the Harmonic Bars
The harmonic bars are assigned to sounds of different footage
(pitch). You can create a wide variety of organ sounds by layering
these sounds..
The volume will be loudest when the harmonic bars are fully
lowered; there will be no sound when the harmonic bars are fully
raised.
