:lol: :lol: ^5 on that on. With the I-7 you can't go wrong. Im using a lot of my Roland VST sounds and man l just freakin love it. My midi keyboard is a 76 Roland A30 and l love it. And l so live the Roland VST 5080 OMG :shock: I LOVE THAT THING! You can edit more when its VST than the hardware. You can get to the sounds quicker too. Roland is beastin out right now.

Integra 7 has an iPad app that will make it perfect for stand alone. There is Windows and Mac App as well when in controller mode. I haven’t received my i7 yet, however I did download the apps.

I recently came across a Roland Integra 7 sound module and was wondering if anyone had any connection tips with your Akai gear?

I currently have a DAWless set up with a couple of MPC Ones and an Arturia Keystep Pro as my midi controller. I wanted to add the Integra to that mix and I’m thinking with the new 2.8 update, it should be pretty smooth?

Thanks all
LLG


With the MPC ONE it should be smooth as silk. Midi connections are usb and five pin midi cable. From what I read using I7 with iPad app is a very powerful solution. 8)

I went with a Jupiter xm to pair with my live. I swear it’s all I need. Get a eventide pedal and an analog heat and you have all the bases covered in standalone. Never tried an integra but I can only see it filling a similar or even better role. Although I went with the xm as it’s more synth centered.

The Jupiter xm is the business.

Thanks Danoc, 2.8 has made the MPC’s even more powerful. Each update gets the current MPCs closer to being a full DAW.

Maybe they'll release an MKII.

Probably didn't add the SRX option cause it has 6,000 sounds. But would of made more money if you could add 8 SRX cards to it. Plus you get the SRX VSTs which l have some and they sound RIDICULOUS!

I have no gripe with it.


Yeah that’s what I’m thinking.

I like the Integra, but I subscribed to Roland Cloud, so have SRX in that. It’s NICE. Not sure I’ll subscribe to the cloud after this year. Maybe pick up an integra.

Eyalc you might wanna take that gripe back lol :lol:

The Integra-7 is a two-unit rack synth featuring all the sounds from the highly regarded XV5080 module, Supernatural sounds from the latest Jupiter-50/80 synths and V-Drums, plus ALL 12 virtual SRX cards and seven new virtual expansion cards.

The INTEGRA-7 is equipped with four virtual expansion slots, which can be used to load four SRX libraries simultaneously. With all of these classic sounds instantly available, plus a new stockpile of enhanced SuperNATURAL sounds, the INTEGRA-7 brings the past, present, and future together in one convenient instrument!

Gawd Daaaam :shock: wheww! That's ridiculous! 6,000 sounds all you need is that and you're good! :smoker:

I have no gripe with it.
