Is the Integra living up to your expectations?

Hello...
I have been using the I7 for a couple of months now. It has been good. It is not perfect but good. The synth sounds are to my ears are great.
Only a few things that I wish were part of the I7.
a. I play drums and have a TD15. Yes, it has been advertised the I7 drum sounds were derived from the latest Roland edrums. I really wish I7 had the capability to play closed to fully open hihat sounds. Also receive signals from the Roland edrums to play such sounds. Maybe a little more nuances like rivert tom sounds to full toms sounds(when hit at the centre) and the same goes for the ride. Anyone who has ever heard Credence Clearwater Revival's "It's Just A Thought" will know how may different tones a ride cymbal can produce. Yes you can hear that towards the end of the song when it breaks into a ride groove....
b. I play the guitar/bass guitar too. I always wondered what happened to the "interval control" thingy in this machine. yes the drums don't machine gun much. But when you try to simulate tremolo picking on any of the SN guitar sounds on I7, the attack of the string does not sound convincing. Oh well.....Yes I play "real world" guitar most of the time as I did not want waste too much time trying. But I still use the I7 guitar sounds for simple lines... Come to think of it, I7 has a patch for tremolo strings and I hope this algorithm can be used for almost every SN sounds..that would be great!!!

Again, I7 is a nice machine..I hope this machine gets a few more firmware updates. I hope everyone here is having a great time with the I7.

blessings.....
