Example 4 - Banks for film music

Looking for non-drum tones suitable for creating film music may draw your attention to:

 SRX-04 Symphonique Strings

 SRX-06 Complete Orchestra - synth tone

 SRX-10 Big Brass Ensemble.

Loading banks

Unless you select a tone from the presets, you have to load the bank which hosts the tone. You can do it in two ways:

 using the front-panel

 sending a MIDI sysex-message.

Loading via front-panel

To load an Extension Sound into one of the 4 virtual slots manually just follow the Owners Manual [Inte12a] :

 press the MENU button

 use the wheel or the cursor to select EXPANSION

 press the ENTER button

 assign Extensions Sounds to 1 - 4 virtual slots A - D.

Loading via sysex

According to [Wond18] you can send a sysex message, i.e. this byte-string in generalized form:

 F0 41 10 00 00 64 11 0F 00 30 00 aa bb cc dd F7, with aa - dd being bytes taken from the table below, controling slots A - D, respectively.


Data byte aa, bb, cc or dd Extension Sound / bank
0x00 OFF
0x01 SRX-01
0x02 SRX-02
0x03 SRX-03
0x04 SRX-04
0x05 SRX-05
0x06 SRX-06
0x07 SRX-07
0x08 SRX-08
0x09 SRX-09
0x0A SRX-10
0x0B SRX-11
0x0C SRX-12
0x0D ExSN1
0x0E ExSN2
0x0F ExSN3
0x10 ExSN4
0x11 ExSN5
0x12 ExSN6
0x13 ExPCM

To understand this byte-string let's examine its components:

 

 F0 signals the start of the sysex message, while F7 terminates it

 41 10 00 00 64 11 initiates a “Data Request 1 (RQ1)” command, according to [Midi12], where 10 is the default device number

 0F 00 30 00 is an entry in the Parameter Address Map, which is unfortunately undocumented in [Midi12] - it seems to request loading up to 4 Extension Sounds

 this request has to provide 4 bytes, aa bb cc dd

 according to [Wond18] an extra byte with the calculated check-sum is not necessary, which is also verified by the author.

Please note: Loading the ExPCM bank still occupies all 4 virtual slots, i.e. any content there will be overwritten.

Please note: Loading via sysex also takes some time.

Example 5 - Loading two banks by a sequencer

To load SRX-07 into slot A, and ExSN1 into slot C, while turning off slots B and D, send this sysex-message:

 F0 41 10 00 00 64 11 0F 00 30 00 07 00 0D 00 F7

Instruments by category
Introduction

This chapter will be the most comprehensive one. It structures excerpts from the Sound List [Inte12b] this way:

 category (chapter)

 tones (sub chapter)

 tone names, i.e. instruments (table).

The tables will list:

 the tones name according to the Sound List [Inte12b]

 its starting page in the Sound List [Inte12b]

 its tone number

 a compound byte string (hex), which you can copy and send directly to the INTEGRA-7.

In the header-line a tones category is repeated in brackets for your convenience: else it's easy to get lost in the tables. This way you can see at a glance, in which category you are.

To send the byte-string given in column snd use programs or hardware like, e.g.:

 SendSX [Send19]

 sendmidi [Rele19]

 Pure Data [Pure20]

 any suitable software or hardware sequencer

 any suitable DAW.

You need to load the tones bank as described beforehand to hear the tone after sending the byte-string as MIDI-message to your INTEGRA-7. If you don't load a bank, you won't hear anything though after submitting the byte-string the INTEGRA-7 displays the correct instrument.

Example 6 - Finding instruments in categories

Say you look for an organ. Going to the organ-chapter, the Organ-table tells you, there are 11 banks to chose from.

Say the tones name “Jazzy B” sounds interesting to you and you want to try it. The table tells you it's in the bank called “SRX-07 Ultimate Keys - synth tone”. So you load it as described earlier.

When using the INTEGRA-7's front panel for this bank, you know from the table it's number is 102 and you dial it in.

If you use a sequencer instead, just submit B0 00 5D 20 0B C0 67 to INTEGRA-7, as the table tells you.

The byte-string snd

The byte-string snd listed in the instrument tables:

 consists of two BS-messages (starting with 0xB0) for MIDI channel 1 and one PC-message (starting with 0xC0) [Bell09]

 the BS-messages are combined

 both address the bank to be selected

 the hex-value of PC has to be decremented by 1 to target the correct tone.

To assign an instrument to other MIDI channels n, just:

 replace B0 by Bn (see table below)

 and replace C0 by Cn (see table below).


MIDI channel n replace B0 by replace C0 by
1 B0 C0
2 B1 C1
3 B2 C2
4 B3 C3
5 B4 C4
6 B5 C5
7 B6 C6
8 B7 C7
9 B8 C8
10 B9 C9
11 BA CA
12 BB CB
13 BC CC
14 BD CD
15 BE CE
16 BF CF

Example 7 - Loading two preset tones by a sequencer

Say you want to assign Finger Slap (No. 80, GM2 Tone - PCM Synth Tone [E.Bass]) to MIDI channel 1 and Plug n' Play (No. 679, GM2 Tone - PCM Synth Tone [E.Guitar]) to MIDI channel 3, just submit these two strings to your INTEGRA-7:

 B0 00 79 20 01 C0 21

 B2 00 57 20 45 C2 26 .
