USING THE UNIT SAFELY

In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

Protect the unit from strong impact.

(Do not drop it!)

Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords the total power used by all devices you have connected—to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/ amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

If you need to move the instrument, take note of the precautions listed below. At least two persons are required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure to have a rm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

• Disconnect the AC adaptor. If the AC adaptor is attached to the bottom of the AT-350C, detach the AC adaptor.

• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.

• Remove the music stand.

Before cleaning the unit, turn o the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 22).

The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

This (AT-350C) for use only with Roland stand KS-G8 or KS-12. Use with other stands is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.

Even if you observe the cautions given in the owner’s manual, certain types of handling may allow this product to fall from the stand, or cause the stand to overturn. Please be mindful of any safety issues before using this product.

Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to re.

Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

Should you remove the music rest fastening screws and the ground terminal screw, keep them in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise lter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

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

Placement

• Using the unit near power ampliers (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.

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

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them o.

• 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.

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect the nish.

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

Repairs and Data

• 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 USB memories, 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

• 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 loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on USB memories.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or USB memories once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

• 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.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• 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.

• 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.

• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a oor or wall to an unexpected extent. In particular, when using headphones, please take care not to cause annoyance to others nearby.

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the

cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter o the instrument may damage the exterior nish.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., ower vases) on this unit. 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.

Maintenance

• 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. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the nish.

• Use only the specied expression pedal (EV-7; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

• 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 specications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

• The usable range of D Beam controller will become extremely small when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when using the D Beam controller outside.

• The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your location.

• When moving the ATELIER, take care not to damage the keyboard or the harmonic bars.

Grounding terminal

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, or the metal portions of other objects. This is due to an innitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see gure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

• Gas pipes (may result in re or explosion)

• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Selecting Sounds (Voices)

The ATELIER is able to produce the sounds of various instruments. These sounds are called “Voices.”

About the Voices and Parts

The ATELIER is a two-manual instrument. These two manuals are called the “upper keyboard” and the “lower keyboard.”

The voices of each keyboard are organized into several parts according to their character.

The upper keyboard has three parts: Upper Vintage Organ, Upper Organ, and Upper Orchestral. The lower keyboard has two parts: Lower Vintage Organ and Lower. You can select one voice for each part, which allows you to play multiple, layered voices.

For the upper keyboard and the lower keyboard, you can also layer on the voice of the Solo part.

MEMO

If you’ve connected a pedalboard (PK series; sold separately), you’ll be able to perform using the pedalboard (p. 24). The pedalboard has two parts: Pedal and Pedal Vintage Organ.

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 each for the upper keyboard and lower keyboard parts, and two harmonic bars for the pedalboard part.

Each harmonic bar is assigned a sound of a dierent footage (pitch), and by layering these sounds you can create a variety of organ tones.

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.

MEMO

You can use the Solo part’s harmonic bar to adjust the volume of the Solo part.

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’.

Growl This technique produces a powerful sound by simultaneously breathing and growling into a wind instrument.

Tremolo This is the technique of rapidly repeating a single note, or rapidly alternating between multiple notes.

These performance techniques continuously vary the pitch between two notes. The way in which notes are connected will depend on the construction of the instrument.

In this performance technique, the strings of the violin are plucked with the ngers rather than bowed with the bow, producing sharply dened notes.

This performance technique produces a rapid change in pitch at the beginning of the note, in a way that is distinctive of that particular instrument.

This is a technique in which a string of the guitar is ngered lightly to sound an overtone. A pitch one octave higher than the keyboard note will be heard.

This is the technique of rapidly lowering the pitch of a wind instrument while simultaneously producing a decrescendo.

Adjusting the Overall Volume Using an Expression Pedal

You can use a pedalboard (PK series; sold separately) or expression pedal (EV-7; sold separately) to adjust the ATELIER’s overall volume. Stepping down on the expression pedal will increase the volume; releasing the pedal will decrease the volume.

Decrease the volume

Increase the volume

* Completely releasing the expression pedal does not lower the volume to zero. If you do want to turn down the volume completely, set the [Master

Volume] knob to the Min (Minimum) position.

MEMO

• Even as you release your foot from the expression pedal and lower the volume, the lower-range portion will linger on. This provides a natural

sounding resonance.

• When an Active Expression voice is selected, the expression pedal can be used to produce changes in the voice (p. 56).

• Likewise you can specify whether the Expression Pedal will or will not control the volume during the playback of recorded music data (p. 94).

• You can specify whether the expression pedal will function when playing back performance data that was recorded on the ATELIER series (p. 94).
