Where Roland in general tries to create sounds that sound great and are dynamic and expressive while played, but not necessarilly as naturall sounding as Yamaha..


I only agree regarding Roland's so-called SuperNatural sounds. My opinion is: These are not what Roland used to be. To me, many of the SRX boards are much more realistic than the preset sounds Yamaha offered from 2000-2010, and I still have to hear Yamaha brass sounds of the same realism as Roland's SRX 10 C-trumpets and French Horns. Maybe Montage has finally caught up.
I've always said what I love about the Integra is mostly the SRX library, not the SN-A sounds. If you compare this "Midnight in Moscow" to my "Petersburg Sleigh Ride", which consists of 17-year-old samples, I'd prefer the Sleigh Ride in terms of realism.

I'll experiment a bit and upload parts of the song played with old SRX samples to compare it with SN-A.

BTW, you know what a trumpeter I cooperate with said about my recording: the things he liked best was the muted growl trumpet and the banjo - exactly those two I took from the SRX 09 World expansion, samples from the 1990s.
