Top 5 Tones for the Roland Integra-7

Tired of endlessly scrolling through 6,500 tones to find that perfect sound. The Integra-7 is the end-all synthesizer, still in full production after more than a decade. But getting to your favorite tones requires you to build your presets and reach over to the rack-mounted unit and change the tone. Not anymore. Using our special MIDI Shield for the Arduino Leonardo microcontroller ($15), you can now store your Top Five tones right at your fingertips. Plus, if you are using the Stream Deck for DAW editing/navigation, then it fits perfectly into the cut-out slot in the plastic enclosure. Responsive arcade-style pushbuttons are lighted by the MIDI shield power supply. Just jot down the bank and patch numbers, then assign them to each of the five buttons. It stores your favorites in EEPROM memory on the microcontroller, so when you start it up, they are ready and waiting. The wiring takes a while because each button connects to a pin on the Leonardo, along with the illumination wires. But the good news is: There is very little soldering required! Time to assemble: 1 hour.
