Main Features
We want to take a moment to thank you for your purchase of the Roland Organ “Music ATELIER.” 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-800 is 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
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
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.
8
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.
By using the solo harmonic bars you can add orchestral sounds to the organ sounds for even more expressive
performance potential.
Realistically expressing acoustic instrument performances (Articulation Voice)
In order to bring out the distinctive qualities of an acoustic instrument and perform in a musically significant way, it is
essential to make use of the instrument’s rich variety of tonal changes and diverse performance techniques
(articulations). The ATELIER contains “Articulation Voices,” which use Super Natural technology to realistically express
the sounds and performance techniques of these acoustic instruments. For even more richly expressive performances,
you can take advantage of aftertouch or a foot switch to modify the tone in various ways while you play.
Super Natural
Main Features
Proprietary Roland sound generation technology that realistically reproduces the tonal changes and performance
techniques distinctive of an acoustic instrument, allowing you to perform music that is natural and richly expressive.
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.
“Quick Registration” and “Music Assistant” functions
The “Quick Registration” function lets you use keywords to select wonderful registrations created by top-ranking
organists such as Hector Olivera. The “Music Assistant” function makes it easy to recall appropriate rhythm and sound
settings simply by selecting a desired atmosphere for your song.
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 and phrases
In addition to a full array of organ sounds, the ATELIER series provides human voices such as “Jazz Scat,” and human
voice phrases such as “Amen.”
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.

Main Features
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.
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.
Connect external speakers for even greater presence
Using the Aux Out jack, the accompaniment parts and an enveloping ambience of RSS reverb sound can be played
through external speakers to create the impression that you’re playing along with a band or orchestra.
By outputting the drums and bass separately from the other sounds, you’ll also be able to adjust the volume balance
during a concert.
Large, wide LCD
For convenience, the frame area of the wide LCD screen always displays buttons for frequently used functions. You
can also view the tempo and measure number in any screen. The color liquid-crystal touch panel ensures excellent
visibility and easy operability.

Attaching the Code Hook
1.
Screw the code hook (with wing nut) about
80% of the way into the screwhole located at
the bottom left of the organ.
After you’ve oriented the hook as desired, use
2.
the wing nut to fasten it.
2.
Use the [Mic Volume] knob to adjust the
volume level for the microphone.
You can adjust the depth of the echo applied to sound from
the microphone (p. 219).
The microphone must be purchased separately. When
purchasing a microphone, please consult the vender where
you bought the ATELIER.
Some Notes on Using a Microphone
fig.00-31.eps
• 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 ATELIER, 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.
