Introduction
The ARX series SuperNATURAL expansion boards represent a further
evolution for Roland’s line of expansion solutions, which began with
the SR-JV80 series and SRX series–-they are a completely new type of
expansion board. SuperNATURAL technology delivers natural, richly
expressive sounds and effects along with a dedicated graphic user
interface, all adding up to a comprehensive application environment
that allows an unprecedented degree of expressive playability and
customization.
Proprietary Roland sound generation technology that realistically
reproduces the tonal changes and performance techniques distinctive
of an acoustic instrument, allowing you to perform music that is
natural and richly expressive.
SuperNATURAL technology provides
powerful drum customizing
The SuperNATURAL technology featured in the ARX-01 allows
aggressive customization of the drum sounds. You can change the
depth of the shell, the diameter of a cymbal, the position of the mic,
or even the muffling (muting), giving you the same degree of
customization that you have over an acoustic drum. Customizing the
drum sound is easy, and does not require specialized knowledge. A
graphical user interface allows you to edit intuitively while watching
the screen. In contrast to the way in which you “choose a drum
sound” on a conventional PCM synthesizer or sampler, this new
technology lets you work more creatively to “make a drum kit” that’s
just right for your song.
From acoustic drum sounds that cover the full range of musical styles
to the sounds of vintage gear, such as the ever-popular TR-808/909,
numerous presets are provided, giving you a powerful array of
resources to create drum parts for your productions.
Effects that can be set independently for
each tone, and powerful mixing
functionality
Up to twenty-four different tones can be assigned to a single kit. A
compressor and equalizer are provided for each tone. There’s also a
24-channel mixer that lets you make detailed volume and pan settings
