Tones - intentions and features
The INTEGRA-7 structures its tones into presets and expansion tones [Inte12a]. Presets are available at any time, so you can hear them anytime. While you need to load expansion tones from the expansion sounds first to listen to them.
You can load up to 4 expansion sounds at the same time.
With the starting page in the Sound List [Inte12b] given in brackets, the INTEGRA-7 provides presets as:
GM2 Drum Kit - PCM Drum Kit (p. 27)
GM2 Tone - PCM Synth Tone (p. 25)
PCM Drum Kit (p. 24)
PCM Synth Tone (p. 16)
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tone (p. 4)
SuperNATURAL Drum Kit (p. 16)
SuperNATURAL Synth Tone (p. 6)
I.e. all banks starting with “Ex” or “SRX” have to be loaded beforehand if you want to listen to them.
The Sound List [Inte12b] briefly describes the expansion sets. Please check out those short texts at the beginning of the tables in said document. Find a more concise summary here.
To make these sets more accessible they are split into drum- and non-drum sounds in this book. Please note : some sounds do provide both drum- and non-drum sounds.
