Roland INTEGRA-7 - Overall Settings; System Configuration

PCM Synth Tone (PCMS) – COMMON tab
48
Parameter Value Explanation
Stretch Tune Depth OFF, 1–3
This setting allows you to apply “stretched tuning” to the patch. (Stretched tuning is a system
by which acoustic pianos are normally tuned, causing the lower range to be lower and the higher
range to be higher than the mathematical tuning ratios would otherwise dictate.) With a setting
of “OFF,” the patch’s tuning will be equal temperament. A setting of “3” will produce the greatest
dierence in the pitch of the low and high ranges.
The diagram shows the pitch change relative to equal temperament that will occur in the low and
high ranges. This setting will have a subtle eect on the way in which chords resonate.

Analog Feel 0–127
Species the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to the tone. (1/f modulation is a pleasant
and naturally-occurring ratio of modulation that occurs in a babbling brook or rustling wind.)
By adding this “1/f modulation,” you can simulate the natural instability characteristic of an
analog synthesizer.
Cuto Oset -63–+63
Cuto Frequency Oset alters the cuto frequency of the overall tone, while preserving the
relative dierences between the cuto frequency values set for each partial in the Cuto
Frequency parameters (p. 56).
NOTE
This value is added to the cuto frequency value of a partial, so if the cuto frequency value of
any partial is already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce any
change.
Resonance Oset -63–+63
Resonance Oset alters the resonance of the overall tone, while preserving the relative dierences
between the resonance values set for each partial in the Resonance parameter (p. 56).
* Resonance: emphasizes the overtones in the region of the cuto frequency, adding character
to the sound.
NOTE
This value is added to the resonance value of a partial, so if the resonance value of any partial is
already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce any change.
Attack Time Oset -63–+63
Attack Time Oset alters the attack time of the overall tone, while preserving the relative
dierences between the attack time values set for each partial in the TVA Env Time 1 parameters (p.
59), TVF Env Time 1 parameters (p. 58).
* Attack Time: The time it takes for a sound to reach maximum volume after the key is pressed
and sound begun.
NOTE
This value is added to the attack time value of a partial, so if the attack time value of any partial
is already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce any change.
Release Time Oset -63–+63
Release Time Oset alters the release time of the overall tone, while preserving the relative
dierences between the release time values set for each partial in the TVA Env Time 4 parameters
(p. 59), TVF Env Time 4 parameters (p. 58).
* Release Time: The time from when you take your nger o the key until the sound disappears.
NOTE
This value is added to the release time value of a partial, so if the release time value of any
partial is already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce any
change.
Velocity Sens Oset -63–+63
Velocity Sensitivity Oset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the overall tone while preserving the
relative dierences between the Velocity Sensitivity values set for each partial in the parameters
below.
Cuto Velocity Sens parameter (p. 57)
Level Velocity Sens parameter (p. 58)
* Velocity: Pressure with which the key is pressed.
NOTE
This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a partial, so if the velocity sensitivity
value of any partial is already set to “+63” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not
produce any change.
Mono/Poly MONO, POLY
Species whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO). The
“MONO” setting is eective when playing a solo instrument patch such as sax or ute.
MONO: Only the last-played note will sound.
POLY: Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
