Sort of what the Tyros does, with the "head, body and tail" of samples. It does it flawlessly.
So the Tyros allows the player to extend the "body" as long as desired and then change to the "tail" with a sampled vibrato? That's what should be implemented in the Roland SN tones. But maybe the difference is (that was recently discussed in a German forum) SA2 voices are still sample-based and Roland SN tones may be more real physical modeling. But in the latter case, the modeling for vibrato would have to be made more realistic, but then it would demand more processor power, as the Integra already struggles with several SN tones played simultaneously. So I guess the "simpler" scripting/sample approach of SA2 voices is the easier and better solution. Quite a complex matter, this modeling...
Rosetree, I read this in an older Yamaha brochure describing how this works on the Tyros 3. I'm sure it's the same on the Tyros 4 and 5. I've found the brochure, and I have it here in front of me. I'm writing exactly what it says, "Super Articulation 2: The sophisticated new technology breaks down down the characteristic articulations of the instrument into separate elements, and then re-synthesizes them in real time as you perform." The brochure also shows a diagram of a sound wave divided into 3 parts; Head/Body/Tail. In between these 3 elements, you choose your articulation, and it connects the elements together. I hope I've explained this in an understandable way. I've searched for this document online, but cannot find it, otherwise I would have shared the link, so you could read it yourself and see the diagram, too.
I have a question for you, Rosetree: 1)what do you mean when you say that the Integra-7 struggles with several SN tones? 2)Does the latency increase? 3)Does it cut off notes? 4)And how many SN tones can it play at once before problems arise?
Thanks!
