Main Features

We want to take a moment to thank you for your purchase of the Roland Organ “Music ATELIER AT-100/300.” The ATELIER is an electronic organ which provides a generous collection of rich organ sounds. In addition, it is designed to be easy to learn and use. In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come, please take the time to read through this manual in its entirety.

* The AT-100 and AT-300 are abbreviated in this manual as “ATELIER” respectively.

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

The piano is indispensable to contemporary music performance. All models of the ATELIER series contain high-quality grand piano sounds that you will enjoy performing. In addition, the range of the lower keyboard has been expanded, giving you greater expressive capabilities on the piano. A damper pedal and initial touch sensitivity are also provided, both necessities for piano performance.

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. Consideration has been given to data compatibility, and existing song data or registration data can be moved to USB memory or used by connecting a floppy disk drive.

Music styles from around the world

A rich variety of the world’s most representative music styles (rhythm and auto accompaniment patterns) are built-in, allowing you to more readily perform music from almost any genre.

Utilizes SMF music files

Compatible with General MIDI 2, the world standard in SMF music files. Since an external memory connector is provided, you can connect separately available USB memory or a floppy disk drive and take advantage of the wide range of commercially available SMF music files. You can also mute parts, allowing you to practice the part for each hand separately, and enjoy performing ensemble with the music files.

Features

Harmonic bars for creating organ sounds

The organ is equipped with “Harmonic bars,” which are much like the controllers used on traditional jazz organs. By operating the harmonic bars, you can easily create a diverse variety of organ sounds.

USB Memory

You can connect separately sold USB memory or a floppy disk drive, and play back SMF music files. Performances you record or registration data you create can also be saved on USB memory or a floppy disk, or you

can save SMF music files or registrations from USB memory or a floppy disk into internal user memory.

Highly realistic rhythms and automatic accompaniment functions

All rhythms use data from performances by professional drummers, featuring high-quality patterns with all the grooves and subtle nuance of the real thing. In addition, you can use automatic accompaniments that are perfectly matched to each rhythm to enjoy the feeling of playing with your own band in the background.

Human Voices

In addition to a full complement of organ tones, the ATELER also features tones that express a wide range of human vocal qualities, including “Jazz Scat,” which changes according to how firmly the keys are pressed, and “Classical” tones that perfectly express that choir image.

Main Features

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.

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.

Split Function

The 61-key lower manual can be split into separate sections, with each being used to play a different tone. Using the Split function lets you perform with the richness of performance expression rivalling that of three-manual and even fourmanual instruments.

Selecting and Playing Sounds

Creating Organ Sounds (Vintage Organ)

The Vintage Organ button lets you add vintage organ sounds to the upper and lower parts. In addition, you can also use the harmonic bars to modify the selected sound as desired.

The ATELIER provides nine harmonic bars for the upper part and lower part. Each harmonic bar is assigned a sound of a different footage (pitch), and by

layering these sounds you can create a variety of organ tones.

Harmonic Bar

By sliding the harmonic bars forward or backward (in or out), you can adjust the volume of the various footages.

The volume can be adjusted over nine steps (0–8). When a harmonic bar is pulled out all the way (8), the volume is loudest.

When it is pushed in all the way (0), there will be no sound.

8' is the footage that forms the basic pitch of the sound; this is the center around which you create the tone.

Each harmonic bar is assigned a sine wave (a pure pitch without overtones) of a different pitch, and by combining these pitches you can create a wide range of sounds.

8' volume: 8

4' volume: 5

Time

What’s the feet?

“Feet” is a term that began as a measurement of the length of the pipes in a pipe organ.

The pipes that produce the basic pitch (fundamental) for each note are considered to be “8 feet” in length.

Therefore, a pipe producing a pitch one octave below that of the reference of 8' (eight feet) would be 16’; for one octave above the reference, the pipe would be 4', and to take the pitch up yet another octave it would be shortened to 2'.

The pitches of the harmonic bars are related as follows.

When the middle C (C4) note is pressed, each

harmonic bar will sound the following notes.

On tonewheel organs, the high-pitched footage for a portion of the high range, and the low-pitched footage for a portion of the low range are “folded-back” in units of one octave.

Folding back the high-frequency portion prevents the high-frequency sounds from being unpleasantly shrill, and folding back the lowfrequency portion prevents the sound from becoming “muddy.”

On the ATELIER faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Using Rhythms Stored in User Memory

The ATELIER features a User memory.

What is User Memory?

“User Memory” refers to an area inside the instrument where you can store the registration you create and the performances you record. Registration and SMF music files saved on USB memory can also be copied to user memory (p. 52).

User memory is quite useful, since anything you place there will be retained even while the power is turned off.

The following things are stored in User memory:

• Songs you’ve registered in “Favorites”

• Rhythms

• Registration sets

The ATELIER is shipped from the factory with rhythms already stored in User memory. These rhythms can be overwritten by copying. The content of User memory is retained even while the ATELIER’s power is turned off. You can call up rhythms in User memory by selecting the User group.

If you wish to copy a Rhythm saved on USB memory to User memory, refer to “Copying Rhythms” (p. 52).

Using the Rhythm Performance
