Although the number of sounds is vast of course, there are quite many sounds NOT included in the Integra:
- most of the waveforms that were new in the Fantom X are not part of the Integra (the SRX library and the older XV PCM and even the PCM part of the SN-Synth don't contain most of them)
- some arranger sounds (e.g. saxophones) obviously developed by Roland Europe are not in the Integra.
As a consequence for example, my older SonicCell module has better pipe organs than the Integra. But of course, in most cases you don't miss the lacking Fantom X sounds, as SN-A and SRX are usually the better ones.
What's more important, and that really bothers many users, are three restrictions:
- only 4 SRX boards can be used simultaneously, and you can't load SRX boards automatically when changing to another studio set (registration).
- the reverb is of bad quality
- there are only 64 storage locations for studio sets (registrations), so that you have to use workarounds (like midi bank/program changes from certain ipad apps) if you have longer playlists to play live.


Offcourse its not perfect, its build by Roland, and Roland allways leaves soemthing to wish for in any product they release... They are better at that game then any other developer...

But Roland is also known to make every instrument they create different and unique, they are not known for long lines of instruments with only small uogrades... They dance a different beat each time they develop something new..
