Power Supply

301

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

352

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

353

• Observe the following when using the unit’s floppy disk drive. For further details, refer to “Before Using Floppy Disks” (p. 6).

• Do not place the unit near devices that produce a strong magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers).

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface.

• Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while the drive is operating.

354b

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

356

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the piano for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

357

• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the piano. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

358

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard or pedalboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

359

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

Maintenance

401b

• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the finish.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on a floppy disk, or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of losing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on a floppy disk.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on a floppy disk once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

557

•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

559b

• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shockabsorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.

Page 8

Important Notes

560

• Do not pull the music stand too far forward when setting/ releasing its latches.

562

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Before Using Floppy Disks

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive

602

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from vibration.

603

• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the unit has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.

604

• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the drive— it will click into place. To remove a disk, press the EJECT button firmly. Do not use excessive force to remove a disk which is lodged in the drive.

605a

• Never eject a disk while reading or writing is in progress, since that can damage the magnetic surface of the disk, rendering it unusable. (The disk drive’s indicator will light up at full brightness when the drive is busy reading or writing data. Ordinarily, the indicator will be less brightly lit, or be extinguished.)

606

• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or down.

607

• To prevent damage to the disk drive’s heads, always try to hold the floppy disk in a level position (not tilted in any direction) while inserting it into the drive. Push it in firmly, but gently. Never use excessive force.

608

• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only floppy disks into the disk drive. Never insert any other type of disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign objects inside the drive.

• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended temperature range: 10 to 50° C (50 to 122° F).

• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as those generated by loudspeakers.

652

• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the WRITE position only when you wish to write new data onto the disk.

653

• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in the

Handling Floppy Disks

651

• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is required to enable storage of large amounts of data on such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity, please observe the following when handling floppy disks:

• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.

• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.

Main Features

Basic concepts of the ATELIER series

A full complement of organ sounds

A wide range of basic organ sounds, ranging from jazz organ and pipe organ to theatre organ, are onboard so you are sure to enjoy having access to all the sounds you expect from an organ.

Panel layout based on a tradition of emphasis on realtime operation

Based on the idea that you should be able to sit down and begin playing immediately, the operation buttons of the panel are arranged by function as dictated by classic organ traditions, ensuring easy and intuitive operation. All models of the ATELIER series feature the same operability, allowing you to start playing immediately even if you switch models.

High-quality sounds that you can use without editing

In addition to a full range of organ sounds, high-quality sounds such as strings and brass are also included onboard. You can simply select sounds and enjoy playing the organ—no need to perform complicated editing operations.

Expansive lower keyboard with damper pedal for piano-like expressiveness

Piano is indispensable to the performance of contemporary music. On the ATELIER series, the lower keyboard features an expanded range that gives you the expressive power of a piano. The keyboard also features half-damper pedal capability and initial touch sensitivity, both indispensable for piano performance. All models provide high-quality grand piano sounds.

Design utilizes your existing music data

The ATELIER series is designed so that even on new models, you will feel right at home and can begin playing immediately. Data compatibility has also been carefully taken into account, and song data or registration data from earlier models can be used without change.

Music styles from around the world

Many of the best-loved musical styles from around the world (rhythm and automatic accompaniment patterns) are built in, allowing you to enjoy an international range of performances.

Utilizes SMF music files

Since a floppy disk drive is built in, you can use the wide array of commercially available SMF music files to enjoy ensemble performances or automatic playback.

Features

RSS reverb technology is used to create a high-quality ambience that surrounds the listener

The AT-90S/80S provides an AUX OUT for RSS Ambience, allowing you to enjoy very high quality RSS reverb sound. In addition, a speaker is built into the panel, ensuring that the performer will also enjoy the exceptional sound quality.

Featuring the newly developed V-Arranger with sophisticated rhythm sounds and realistic automatic accompaniment

You will enjoy rhythm and automatic accompaniment so realistic that it sounds like your own backup band is right there!

Newly developed Active Expression sounds

For some of the sounds, moving the expression pedal will vary not only the volume but also the tone, or add other sounds. From pianissimo to fortissimo, the tonal character of the sound itself will change as you perform a crescendo, or strings may appear behind the piano, creating dynamic changes in tonality.

Page 10

Main Features

“Music Assistant” and “Quick Registration” functions

The “Music Assistant” function makes it easy to recall appropriate rhythm and sound settings simply by selecting a desired atmosphere for your song. The “Quick Registration” function lets you use keywords to select wonderful registrations created by top-ranking organists such as Hector Olivera.

Human voices and phrases

In addition to a full array of organ sounds, the ATELIER-S series provides human voices such as “Jazz Scat,” and human voice phrases such as “Amen.”

Harmony Intelligence

The Harmony Intelligence function automatically adds harmony to the upper keyboard sound according to the chord you play in the lower keyboard. This gives you greater tonal depth and a more powerful performance.

Store disk styles in internal memory

Although the Rhythm [Disk] button already contains various rhythms, these can be replaced by rhythms from a music style disk. Rhythms that are loaded from a music style disk into internal memory will not be lost even when the power is turned off, so you will find it convenient to load frequently used rhythms into internal memory.

76-note lower keyboard for plenty of range

The 76-note range can be split into zones, allowing a solo voice, pedal bass voice, percussion, etc., to be played independently for an even wider range of performance possibilities. Since the lower keyboard can be divided into a maximum of four parts, you have at your command expressive power that rivals that of a three-manual organ. In addition, you can use the Drums/SFX function to play drum sounds or sound effects from the entire lower keyboard.

Newly developed jazz organ style footage sound generator

The ATELIER features a new “digital harmonic bar” function that lets you adjust the volume of each footage of flute-type voices. In addition to the rich sounds of the ATELIER series, you can enjoy the versatile tonal expressions of a jazz organ.

Music score display in the LCD screen

The large LCD screen allows recorded data or loaded music data to be displayed as a musical score. You can enjoy the convenience of playing from a score, or checking the score of a song you recorded.

Video output of lyrics (AT-90S/80S)

You can connect a television to view the lyrics from SMF music files.

panel’s left side is OFF (not pushed in).

2. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Inlet

connector, then plug the other end into an AC outlet.

NOTE

Only use the power cord supplied with this instrument.

NOTE

Whenever you do not intend to use the instrument for extended periods of time, pull out the power cord from the AC outlet.

Turning the Power On and Off

NOTE

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

3. The [Master Volume] slider located on the left of

the Lower Keyboard panel is an overall control for adjusting the volume of the entire instrument.

Now adjust the [Master Volume] slider to a suitable level. The volume will be increased when the Expression Pedal is pressed down, and decreased when the pedal is returned.

NOTE

Once the connections have been completed, turn on or off power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on or off devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

■ Turning On the Power

1. Make sure of the following before the power is

turned on.

• Is the power cable correctly connected to the AC inlet?

• Is the power cable correctly connected to the AC outlet?

• Is the [Master Volume] slider (located at the left of the Lower Keyboard) set to the Min (minimum) position?

The sound from the built-in speakers stops. Now, sound is heard only through the headphones.

fig.00-30

Using a Microphone

The AT-90S/80S/60S is equipped with a Mic jack. Since this instrument has a Mic In jack, you can use a microphone to enjoy a variety of possibilities such as singing along with your performance, or singing along with SMF music files (sold separately).

fig.00-32

1. Connect the microphone to the Mic In jack on the

underside of the unit.

2. Use the [Mic Volume] knob to adjust the volume

Phones

2. Adjust the headphones volume with the [Master

Volume] slider and Expression pedal.

Accepts connection of Stereo headphones.

Some Notes on Using Headphones

fifig.00-31

• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones only by the headset or the plug.

• Headphones may be damaged if the volume is too high when they are plugged in. Lower the volume on the AT90S/80S/60S before plugging in headphones.

• To prevent possible auditory damage, loss of hearing, or damage to the headphones, the headphones should not be used at an excessively high volume. Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.

You can adjust the depth of the echo applied to sound from the microphone (p. 172).

The microphone must be purchased separately. When purchasing a microphone, please consult the vender where you bought the AT-90S/80S/60S.

NOTE

If the Input switch is set to “RSS,” RSS reverb will be applied to the sound from the microphone. You can use the [Master Volume] knob to adjust the microphone volume (p. 185).

Some Notes on Using a Microphone

fig.00-31

• To avoid disturbing others, be careful of the volume level when playing late at night or very early in the morning.

• When connecting a microphone to the AT-90S/80S/60S, be sure to lower the volume. If the volume control is too high when the microphone is plugged in, noise may be produced by the speakers.

• Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

• Changing the orientation of the microphone.

• Relocating the microphone so it is farther from the

speakers.

• Lowering volume levels.

AT-90S

The Upper Keyboard and Lower Keyboard each have four parts: “Organ,” “Symphonic,” “Orchestral,” and “Footage.” You can select one voice for each part, meaning that it is possible to layer up to four voices on each keyboard and play them simultaneously. The voice of the “Solo” part can be layered on the Upper keyboard.

The Pedalboard has two parts: “Pedal Organ” and “Pedal Orchestral.” You can select one voice for each part, meaning that it is possible to play up to two voices simultaneously.

AT-80S/60S

The Upper Keyboard and Lower Keyboard each have three parts: “Organ,” “Symphonic,” and “Orchestral.” You can select one voice for each part, meaning that it is possible to layer up to three voices on each keyboard and play them simultaneously. The voice of the “Solo” part can be layered on the Upper keyboard.

The Pedalboard has two parts: “Pedal Organ” and “Pedal Orchestral.” You can select one voice for each part, meaning that it is possible to play up to two voices simultaneously.

Playing Chords with Simple Fingering

“Chord Intelligence” is a feature that intelligently plays the correct accompaniment chords the moment you play a key specifying a chord on the Lower keyboard during Automatic Accompaniment. For example, in order to make the instrument detect a “C Major” chord, you must normally play the three keys “C,” “E,” and “G.” If you use the Chord Intelligence function, you can simply press a single “C” key in the lower keyboard to sound a C Major chord with the voice selected for the Lower part

1. Touch <Rhythm> on the Main screen.

The Rhythm screen appears.

For more information about chord fingering, refer to the “Chord List” (p.

If you press the root note of the chord (p. 212) in the lower keyboard when the Chord Intelligence function is off, all notes in that chord will sound. For example, if you press the root “C” of the C major chord in the lower keyboard, the notes of the C major chord “C,” “E,” and “G” will be sounded

Leading Bass Function

When Automatic Accompaniment is used, and the Pedal [To Lower] button is ON, the Pedal Bass voice will normally play the root note (p. 212) of the chord you play on the Lower keyboard.

If the Leading Bass function is enabled, the lowest note of the chord you play on the Lower keyboard will then be used as the bass note (the bottom note of the chord). This allows the bass to be a note other than the root of the chord you play and the bass note will change when inverted chords are played (p. 212).

When you touch the [One Touch Program] button, the Chord Intelligence setting will automatically be turned ON.

Formatting Disks

Before any floppy disk (new or used) can be used with the AT-90S/80S/60S it must first be formatted (prepared).

Formatting a floppy disk erases all information stored on the disk, and puts it in a format that is acceptable for the device in which it will be used. If a floppy disk is in a format that doesn’t match the format of this unit, you won’t be able to use that floppy disk.

1. Make sure that the write protect tab of the floppy disk is in

the “Write” (permit) position.

fig.07-17

Rear side of the disk

Write (can write new data onto disk)

Write Protect Tab

Protect (prevents writing to disk)

NOTE

Formatting a disk destroys all data previously stored on the disk. If you’re formatting a used floppy disk for reuse, be sure to check first to make sure the disk doesn’t contain any data you don’t want to lose.

2. With the label of the floppy disk facing upward, insert it

into the disk drive until it clicks into position.

The disk drive is located to the upper right of the AT-90S/80S/60S’s keyboard.

Saving Registration Sets to a Floppy Disk

With the settings of Registration buttons [1]–[12] (on the AT-60S, Registration buttons [1]-[8]) considered as one set, a single floppy disk can store up to 99 sets of data. We recommend that complex panel settings or Registrations you wish to keep be saved on disk. If AT-90S/80S/60S Registrations that you create are saved on a floppy disk, they can then be recalled later or recalled for use on another AT-90S/80S/60S.

1. Make sure that the disk drive contains a disk that was

formatted (p. 82) by the AT-90S/80S/60S.

2. Touch <Registration> on the Main screen.

The sub-window appears.

fig.03-04_55

3. Touch <Save>.

Recall the settings of one of the Registration [1]–[12] buttons (on the AT-60S, Registration buttons [1]–[8]).

Recalling the Order that the Registrations are Saved on the Floppy Disk (Load Next) → (p. 92)

Press the [Load Next] button to recall registration sets in the order in which they are saved on the floppy disk.

Saved on the Floppy Disk (Load Next)

On the AT-90S/80S/60S, you can simply press the [Load Next] button to successively recall registrations in the order in which they were saved on the floppy disk. This function is called “Load Next.”

When you will be performing live, you can save registration sets to floppy disk in the order in which you will be performing. Then while you perform, you can recall the next registration set easily and smoothly.

1. Insert the floppy disk on which the registrations are saved

into the floppy disk drive.

2. Press the [Load Next] button.

The first registration saved on the floppy disk will be recalled into the AT90S/80S/60S.

The following screen appears.

Using Registrations Created on an Earlier Model

Registrations that were created on the ATELIER series (AT-90/80/30) or ATELIER-R series (AT-90R/80R/60R/30R/20R) can be used on the AT90S/80S/60S.

When using a set of registrations that was created on the AT-90/80/60 models, your registrations will be converted to work in the AT-90S/80S/60S models and loaded into internal memory. When loading these registrations the music style that was originally used can also be loaded into the [Disk] button to complete the accurate reproduction of the original registration.

Recalling a registration that was created on the “AT-90/80/30”

1. Insert the floppy disk that contains Registrations created on

an earlier model of the ATELIER series.

2. Touch <Registration> on the Main screen.

The sub-window appears.
