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.
SuperNATURAL is Roland’s breakthrough sound-generating
technology that enables a new level of realism and expression.
SuperNATURAL reproduces the delicate, organic tonal changes and
playing nuances of acoustic and electric musical instruments.

Functions for detailed and intuitive
customization

The ARX-02 uses SuperNATURAL technology to faithfully reproduce
the sound-producing mechanism and tonal characteristics of an
electric piano. You’ll be able to enjoy performing electric piano
sounds with an unprecedented degree of realism.
Customization allows you to change not only the type of electric
piano model, but also details such as the distance between the tone
bars and pickups, the angle of the tone bars, the character of the bell,
and tonal differences resulting from the condition of the instrument.
You’ll be able to create the exact electric piano sounds you want, in
the same way as a specialist electric piano technician.

Electric piano sounds with SuperNATURAL
technology for the ultimate in expressive feel

The ARX-02 provides five amp models that are tuned for electric
piano. These allow variations of volume dynamics to create infinite
gradations of the tone and distortion that are characteristic of the
electric piano, in ways that would be difficult for tone-generation
methods based on sampled waveforms. You’ll have the same detailed
and dynamic performance control as on a real electric piano.
Numerous multi-effects suitable for an electric piano (such as phaser
and chorus) are also provided, allowing you to create a wide variety
of electric piano sounds.
