Important Notes
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2
and 3, please read and observe the following:
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.
5
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.
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.
• 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.
Rear side of the disk
Write
(can write new data onto disk)
Write Protect Tab
653
Protect
(prevents writing to disk)
• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the
disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in the
drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.
654
• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and
to protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By
using a dirty or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the
disk, as well as causing the disk drive to malfunction.
655
• Disks containing performance data for this unit should
always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the
“Protect” position) before you insert them into the drive
on some other unit (except the PR-300, or a product in the
HP-G, MT, KR, or Atelier families), or into a computer’s
drive. Otherwise (if the write protect tab remains in the
“Write” position), when you perform any disk operations
using the other device’s disk drive (such as checking the
contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk rendering
the disk unreadable by this unit’s disk drive.

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.
7
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.

Before You Start Playing
Using Headphones
The AT-90S/80S/60S features a Phones jack. This allows you
to play without having to worry about bothering others
around you, even at night.
fig.00-29
1. Connect the headphones to the Phones jack on
the underside of the unit.
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
level for the microphone.
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.
