Thank you for purchasing a Roland C-190 Portable Organ. The C-190 is a new organ with simulated two-manual functionality designed for religious congregations and all other occasions that call for high-quality organ or orchestral
music in a portable instrument.
Simultaneous use of organ and orchestral sounds
The C-190 comes with the finest organ sounds Roland has to offer. On top of that, it also features excellent instrument
sounds that can be used alongside the organ section.
You can “split” the 76-note keyboard into two sections (“divisions”) and play the C-190 like a two-manual organ.
Bass and Manual parts
Though a single-keyboard instrument, the C-190 allows you to play monophonic bass organ parts and polyphonic
instrument sounds. The PEDAL part usually plays a monophonic bass line that doubles the lowest note you play on the
keyboard. You can, however, connect an optional MIDI pedal unit to the C-190 and play the PEDAL section polyphonically using your feet.
Record your own performances
The C-190 makes it easy to record your own performances.
Before using this instrument, carefully read the section on the next page. It provides important information concerning
the proper operation of the C-190.
To get the most out of the C-190 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this
Owner’s Manual thoroughly.
To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and only use “key” when referring to the C-190’s keyboard.
• Do not attempt to repair the instrument, or replace parts
within it. Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
• Be sure to use only the adapter supplied with the instrument. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specified on the name plate.
• Avoid damaging the adapter’s cord. Do not bend it excessively, step on it, place heavy objects on it, etc. A damaged cord can easily become a shock or fire hazard. Do
not use the adapter when it shows clear signs of damage.
• This instrument may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not
operate for a long period of time at a high volume level,
or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

the case of the symbol at left, it means that the powercord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins,
pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to
penetrate the instrument.
• Immediately turn the power off, remove the adapter
from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page
when:
• The the adapter has been damaged; or
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto
the instrument; or
• The instrument has been exposed to rain (or otherwise
has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhib-
• 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.
• Do not force instrument 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.

OUTPUT R, L/MONO sockets
The C-190 boasts an excellent internal stereo amplifier and speaker system and so doesn’t require an
external amplification. There may be times, however,
when you need to use the public address system of
the hall or church where you are performing – or you
may want to record the C-190’s sound without background noises. In those cases, use these sockets.
B
EXP/SUST socket
This is where you can connect an optional DP-2,
DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch that allows you to
hold the notes you are playing on the keyboard. The
sustain function is only available for the orchestral
sounds.
Alternatively, you can connect an optional Roland
EV-5 or FV-300L pedal to this socket that can be used
for setting the MANUAL II division’s volume.
C
MIDI sockets (PEDAL IN, IN, OUT)
Use these connectors for transmitting (OUT) and
receiving (IN) MIDI messages to/from other instruments.
ABCD EF
The PEDAL IN socket allows you to connect an
optional Roland MIDI pedal unit (PK-5A, PK-25 or
PK-7) so as to play the bass section (called “PEDAL”)
with your feet. If you connect a pedal unit here, the
PEDAL section becomes polyphonic.
D
Cord hook
After connecting the adapter cable, wind it around
the cord hook to the right of the socket to prevent
accidental power disruptions.
E
DC IN connector
This where you need to connect the supplied PSB-4U
adapter. If it is damaged or out of order, be sure to
replace it with the same PSB-4U model. Do not use
other adapters as these may damage your C-190
beyond repair.
F
POWER SWITCH button
Press this button once to switch the C-190 on. Press
it again to switch the C-190 off.
Headphone sockets
The C-190 features two headphone sockets, allowing two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, which is useful for lessons. Using headphones allows you to play without
bothering others around you, even at night. By connecting a
jack to one of these sockets, you switch off the C-190’s speakers.
For optimum sound quality, be sure to use optional Roland
RH-25, RH-50 or RH-200 headphones.

C-190 Portable Organ
Registering the MANUAL I division
r
3.Playing organ music
The C-190 features two sections that can be used simultaneously: an organ section and an orchestral section. Let us
begin with the organ section.
Registering the MANUAL I division
When the ORCHESTRA button doesn’t light, the white
tilt tabs serve the same purpose as the stops on a
church organ: they allow you to decide which ranks
should be audible. Be sure to press at least one tilt tab.
Otherwise, you won’t hear anything.
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL I tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding register is audible. You can activate as many registers as
you like.
(3) If necessary, change the volume of the MANUAL I
division using its slider (to the left of the tilt tabs).
(4) Press the upper part of a tilt tab whose indicator
lights to switch that stop back off again.
Note: The SUSTAIN function is not available for organ stops.
An optional footswitch connected to the EXP/SUS socket thus
doesn’t allow you to hold the notes you are playing.
Adding the MANUAL II division
The C-190 provides a MANUAL II division that can be
added to the MANUAL I division. (You can also play via
separate keys, see below.)
When active, the MANUAL II division performs the
function of the Swell manual on a church organ, while
the MANUAL I section replaces the Great section.
Let us first look at how to couple those two sections,
which means that they are played together.
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL
I section.
Its indicator lights to signal that you can now add a
second division to the MANUAL I registration. This
simulates the coupling of two manuals on a church
organ.
(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding register is audible. You can activate as many registers as
you like.
It is also possible to switch off all MANUAL I registers
(except [II/I]) and only use one or several MANUAL II
registers to simulate a church organ’s Swell manual.
(4) Press the upper part of a tilt tab whose indicator
lights to switch that stop back off again.
Note: The SUSTAIN function is not available for organ stops.
An optional footswitch connected to the EXP/SUS socket thus
doesn’t allow you to hold the notes you are playing.
Note: The [TREMULANT] register cannot be used by itself. It
must be combined with at least one other MANUAL II register.
It has no effect on the PEDAL or MANUAL I sounds.

C-190 Portable Organ
Playing organ music
Playing the MANUAL I and II
divisions via separate keys
As stated above, you can also assign the MANUAL I section to the left half of the 76-note keyboard, and play
the MANUAL II section in the right half:
MANUAL IMANUAL II
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL
I section to switch it off.
The key you press becomes the lowest note of the
MANUAL II section.
Tremulant
A “tremulant” creates a change in pitch (vibrato),
amplitude (volume) and timbre (tone quality). The use
of the tremulant adds warmth and expressiveness to
solo or small ensemble combinations. It is not common
to use tremulants in larger classical ensembles. In some
romantic ensembles, tremulants are used judiciously. In
some gospel and evangelical musical traditions, tremulants with a wider and deeper excursion are frequently
used.
The C-190 provides a tremulant function for the MANUAL II section:
(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL I tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding register is audible. You can activate as many registers as
you like.
(4) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
You can activate as many registers as you like.
(5) Start playing.
The left half of the keyboard is now assigned to the
MANUAL I division, and the right half to the MANUAL
II division.
Changing the split point
At first, the split point (the note where the MANUAL I
section ends and the MANUAL II division begins) is set
to the C indicated by an arrow (▼). Here’s how to select
another note in case you don’t agree with the factory
setting:
(1) Press and hold the [SET] button.
SPLIT
SET
It only affects the stops of that division (and requires
that you switch on at least one tilt tab).
The TREMULANT status can be saved to one of the
memories.
Using the PEDAL division
The C-190 features a PEDAL division that can either be
played via the keyboard, or with an optional PK-5A,
PK-7, or PK-25 dynamic MIDI pedal unit.
If you only use the keyboard, the PEDAL division is
monophonic and doubles the lowest note you play
using the MANUAL I and/or II stops.
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Use the PEDAL tabs to add one, two or three bass
notes to your playing.
(2) Keep holding that button while pressing the key
where you want to split the keyboard.
The setting range is indicated by the arrows in the
illustration above.
r

At least one of the PEDAL tilt tabs must be on.
The bass notes are only added to the notes played in
the E1~B3 range:

r
The bass note corresponds to the lowest note you
play.
Note: If you connect a MIDI cable to the PEDAL IN socket on
the C-190’s rear panel, the PEDAL part can no longer be played
via the keyboard. Be sure to connect the other end of that
cable to a pedal unit – or else remove it from the socket.
Playing only bass notes with your left hand
If you prefer to play bass notes without the addition of
a MANUAL I register, you need to split the keyboard and
switch off all MANUAL I tilt tabs. Here’s how to do that:
(1) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL
I section to switch it off.
(2) Press the upper part of any MANUAL I tilt tab
whose indicator lights.
This switches off the MANUAL I division.
(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
You can activate as many registers as you like.
(4) Use the PEDAL tabs to select the desired registra-
tion for the bass notes.
Playing the bass notes with an optional pedal
unit
The C-190’s PEDAL registers can also be triggered via
MIDI. The most convenient way to do that is by using
an optional PK-5A, PK-7 or PK-25 dynamic pedal unit.
With the following procedure you can set the C-190 so
that the bass notes (of the PEDAL division) are no
longer triggered by the keyboard:
(1) Switch off the C-190 and the PK.
(2) Connect the PK’s MIDI OUT port to the C-190’s
PEDAL IN socket.
(3) Switch on the PK.
(4) Switch on the C-190.
(5) Start playing on the keyboard and on the PK.
Note: When the PEDAL section is triggered in this way, it is
polyphonic (and can therefore sound several notes simulta-
neously).
The PEDAL notes now sound in isolation up to the
split point for the PEDAL division (which is fixed).

C-190 Portable Organ
Playing organ music
Selecting other organ timbres
Some of the speaking stops on the C-190 have alternate voices that can be selected and used in performance via the “Voice Palette” feature. Voice Palette
gives you a tremendous amount of added flexibility. For
example, you can choose a Spitzflöte 4’ rank instead of
the Rohrflöte 4’ rank assigned to the MANUAL I tilt tab
of the same name.
Voice Palette was so named because it greatly increases
the number of tonal colors at your disposal; there are
many more ranks available to you than the number of
actual tilt tabs on the instrument.
Making a Voice Palette selection
(1) Press and hold the lower part of a tilt tab and
watch the MEMORY buttons ([0]~[4]).
One of those buttons lights steadily to indicate the
rank that is currently assigned to the tilt tab.
Flashing MEMORY buttons indicate locations that
contain other ranks you can use instead of the one
you get by simply activating the tilt tab.
(2) Release the tilt tab.
Some MEMORY buttons continue to flash, while one
of them lights.
Note: If you pressed and held a tilt tab by accident and now
see flashing MEMORY buttons, press any other button or tilt
tab to leave the Voice Palette selection mode.
(3) Press the MEMORY button of the rank you want to
use.
Note: You can also select a Voice Palette rank by holding
down the desired tilt tab while pressing a MEMORY [0]~[4] but-
ton.

Selecting sounds
4.Using the orchestral sounds
The C-190 contains orchestral sounds that can be used in isolation or together with the organ sounds. The orchestral
sounds are velocity sensitive (their volume and timbre depend on the force with which you press the keys).
Selecting sounds
There are three sections: the MANUAL I and II sections
that can span the entire keyboard, and the PEDAL section that allows you to play a bass part.
Let us first look at how to select a MANUAL I or II
sound:
(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button so that it lights.
There are three ORCHESTRA tone banks: 3 for the
PEDAL section, 5 for the MANUAL I section and 5 +
chimes for the MANUAL II section.
(2) Press a tilt tab to select the sound whose name is
printed below it (indicator lights).
Using a sustain pedal
Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch to the C-190’s EXP/SUST socket to be able to
hold the notes of the PEDAL, MANUAL I and II sections
in the same way as on an acoustic piano.
Orchestra Melody function
In addition to using the MANUAL II division’s orchestral
sound together with the MANUAL I sound (or in a separate keyboard zone), you can use the MANUAL II sound
as “melody voice”.
That voice (any orchestral sound you choose in the
MANUAL II section) is monophonic and therefore cannot play chords. It always sounds the highest (rightmost) note you play on the keyboard. Here’s how to
select that function:
(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button so that it lights.
Example: to select the “N.GUITAR” sound for the
MANUAL I section, press the [OCTAVE¥2’] tab.
To add a harpsichord sound to it (using the MANUAL
II section), press the [BOURDON¥8’] tab.
You can layer the MANUAL I and II sounds (play them
together) or play them via separate keys (when the
[II÷I] tilt tab is off). The PEDAL part follows the same
rules as in organ mode.
Note: Each division can only play one orchestral sound at any
one time.
(3) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button again (it goes dark)
to leave the orchestral selection mode.
Remember that is perfectly possible to add orchestral
sounds to organ divisions.
(2) Press and hold the tilt tab of the MANUAL II
orchestral voice you want to use until the indicator
below it starts flashing.
(3) Start playing and notice how the highest notes are
doubled by the MANUAL II orchestral sound you
selected.
(4) Press the tilt tab above the flashing indicator again
to switch off this melody function.
Using a chime sound
The C-190 provides a chime sound that may come in
handy for a variety of occasions (Christmas masses, for
example).
That sound is assigned to the MANUAL II [TREMULANT]
tilt tab.

Note: See p. 19 for how to save your settings to a registration
memory.
Adding reverb
The C-190 allows you to add reverberation to what
you play on the keyboard. The reverb effect provides
a pleasant reverberation that gives the impression
that you are performing in a concert hall, a church,
etc.
(1) Press the [REVERB] button (it lights).
Selecting different tunings
Tuning the C-190
There may be times when you accompany acoustic
instruments that are difficult or impossible to tune. In
that case, use the C-190’s TUNE function to adapt its
tuning to that of the acoustic instrument:
(1) Hold down the [TUNE] button while pressing the
[DOWN] button to lower the tuning.
If you like the reverb effect but think it is too prominent or too faint, here’s how to change the reverb
depth:
(2) Press the [DOWN] button to decrease the reverb
level, or the [UP] button to increase it.
Note: Press [DOWN] and [UP] simultaneously to recall the
C-190’s original reverb depth.
(3) To switch off the reverb effect, press the [REVERB]
button once again. Its indicator goes dark.
Selecting another reverb type
(4) Switch on the reverb effect (see above).

Using different temperaments
Like all digital instruments, the C-190 relies on the
standard tuning system for western music, where the
distance (interval) between any two semitones of an
octave is the same. This is called “equal temperament”.
Not so long ago, however, other tunings were used for
classical western music. These tunings are characterized
by varying intervals between the semitones of an
octave. The C-190 allows you to select from among five
different tuning methods (“temperaments”):
(1) Hold down [0] while pressing one of the following
buttons:
Button

Mean Tone
Pythagorean
Kirnberger
Werckmeister III
Equal (default)
(2) Hold down the [0] button while pressing the key on
the keyboard that corresponds to the tonic of the
desired key.
When performing in ensemble with other instru-
ments, be aware that, depending on the key, there
may be some shifting of the pitch. The other instru-
ments should therefore also use the selected temper-
ament.
Note: When you play back a recorded song, it always uses the
last temperament you selected here.
Transposing (same fingering,
different notes)
You can have the C-190 sound in a different key while
still playing the same notes on the keyboard. That way,
even songs originally written in a difficult key with
many #/sharps or b/flats (i.e. many black keys), can be
played in a more convenient way. This is especially useful when you are used to playing a given piece in one
key, while someone else prefers another key: just
change the TRANSPOSE setting and you’re there.
Note: The transposition remains in effect until you change it or
switch off the C-190. This setting cannot be saved.
• While holding down the [TRANSPOSE] button, press
the tonic (root) of the key to which you want to
transpose.
TRANSPOSE
See step (2) to specify the key of the selected temperament.
Mean Tone: A partial compromise of the Just Major
tuning (purer tuning than “Equal”), created to make
transposition possible. As the intervals between two
neighboring semitones depends on their pitch, this
temperament may sound out of tune to untrained
ears.
Pythagorean: Developed in ancient Greece as a
method of tuning that resolved the ambiguity of
fourths and fifths. As a result, melodies sound
cleaner, while triads may appear to be flat.
Kirnberger: This temperament is relatively tolerant
towards transposition, and can be used to play in all
keys.
Werckmeister III: A combination of the Mean Tone
and Pythagorean tunings. This tuning can be used in
all keys.
Equal: With this tuning, the octave is divided into
twelve equal intervals. Regardless of the interval, very
little ambiguity is produced.
For the Mean Tone and Pythagorean temperaments,
you also need to specify the key in which you want to
play:
The [TRANSPOSE] button lights.
–OR–
• Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button while selecting
the desired interval with the [DOWN] or [UP] button.
This is a littler trickier, because there is no visual
feedback. You therefore have to count the number of
presses. Each press corresponds to a semi-tone.
• To return to normal pitch, hold down the
[TRANSPOSE] button while pressing a C key (or
[DOWN] + [UP]). The [TRANSPOSE] button goes dark.
■Example: playing in C but sounding in E
If you want the E pitch to sound whenever you press
a C key, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and
press an E key.
Note: The transposition only applies to the notes you play on
the C-190’s keyboard or a PK-series pedal board. It does not
apply to note messages received via the MIDI IN connector, or
the notes played by the Recorder.

Additional functions
Recording your performance
You can record what you play on your C-190 and
then play it back whenever you like. There are four
song memories that can be selected using the [1]~[4]
buttons.
The Recorder not only memorizes the notes you play,
but also the sounds you use.
Recording
(1) Hold down the [REC] button (it starts flashing)
while pressing a [1]~[4] button to select the song
memory.
Playing back a recorded song
To listen to your new (or a previously recorded) song,
proceed as follows:
(1) Press and hold the [PLAY] button while pressing a
[1]~[4] button to select a song memory.
Be sure to select a memory whose button lights,
which indicates that the memory in question contains data.
(2) Press [PLAY] again to stop playback.
Note: The recorded song data are not transmitted to the
C-190’s MIDI OUT port.
Be sure to select a memory whose button doesn’t
light while you are holding down the [REC] button.
Otherwise, you erase the recording contained in that
memory.
(2) Release the [REC] button (it keeps flashing).
(3) Press the [PLAY] button to start recording.
(4) Start playing.
(5) Press [PLAY] again (or [REC]) to stop recording.
Note: The C-190 now processes your recording, which may
take 2~3 seconds. While the data are being stored, the keyboard doesn’t respond to your playing.
Using the audio outputs
The C-190 comes with two audio outputs that may
come in handy for two things:
• When you need to perform in a large venue and fear
that the C-190’s on-board amplification system is
not powerful enough, or when you are asked to connect the C-190 directly to the PA system;
• To record your playing (either with or without
Recorder backing) to cassette, MD, etc.
To do so, connect the C-190 as follows:
L
R
r
18
Cassette deck, MD recorder, external ampli-
If the external device is mono, use only the OUTPUT L/
MONO socket.
Note: Connecting jacks to the outputs does not switch off the
internal amplification system.

Specialist functions
7.Specialist functions
This chapter discusses functions you may only need occasionally. They help you refine the C-190’s behavior.
The drawings are probably self-explanatory:
Windchest Panning
Use the WINDCHEST PANNING function to specify
where the simulated organ pipes (the C-190 is a digital instrument with no pipes whatsoever) should be
located in the stereo sound field.
The available settings represent common pipe arrangements for church organs.
The following can be set for each organ voice individually. The settings can be saved to the global area (see
p. 19).
(1) Press the [WINDCHEST¥PANNING] button.
(4) Press the [WINDCHEST¥PANNING] button again to
return to normal operation.
From now on, the rank you selected will use the
changed stereo distribution. Do not forget to save
the setting to the global area.
The button flashes. All tilt tab indicators go dark.
(2) Press the tilt tab of the organ voice whose panning
you wish to change.
This can be a tab of any section (PEDAL, MANUAL I or
MANUAL II). Its indicator starts flashing.
(3) Use the [DOWN] and [UP] buttons to select one of
the four available settings.
■Recalling the default Windchest Panning settings
If you decide to return to the factory-set panning
settings, hold down the [REC] button while switching
the C-190 on (this initializes all of the C-190’s settings).
Changing the volume and brilliance
The C-190 provides two functions that allow you to
change the volume and brilliance (filtering) of any
organ or orchestral sound. Such changes can be
saved to the global area.
Changing the volume of just one sound at a time
If you think a given organ or orchestral sound is too
loud (or too soft) with respect to the others, you can
decrease (or increase) its volume without changing the
volume of the remaining sounds. This is therefore a balance setting.
(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button to switch it on or
off.
r
20
Switch it off if you need to change the volume of an
organ sound. Switch it on to change the volume of
an orchestral sound.
C-190 Portable Organ
Assigning other sounds to the tilt tabs
r
(2) Hold down the [SET] button and press the lower
part of the tilt tab that is assigned to the sound
whose setting you want to change.
This can be any tilt tab except [II/I]. The indicator of
the tab (or the assigned orchestral sound below it)
starts flashing.
(3) Press the [DOWN] or [UP] button to change the vol-
ume.
Press them simultaneously to recall the factory volume setting.
(4) Press [0] to leave this setting mode.
Changing the timbre of a sound
If you think a given organ or orchestral sound is too
bright (or too mellow), here is how to change its timbre:
(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button to switch it on or
off.
Switch it off if you need to change the timbre of an
organ sound. Switch it on to change the timbre of an
orchestral sound.
(2) Hold down the [SET] button and press the upper
part of the tilt tab that is assigned to the sound
whose setting you want to change.
(4) Press [0] to leave this setting mode.
Assigning other sounds to the tilt
tabs
As you know, the C-190 provides a varying number of
hidden organ sounds for each tilt tab. If you don’t feel
like assigning the desired ranks to the tabs by hand, you
can select one of the four stop configurations prepared
at the factory.
Those stop configurations are: “Classic”, “Romantic”,
“Baroque” and “Solo”.
(1) Hold down the [M1÷2] button (the four MEMORY
buttons start flashing).
(2) Keep holding it while pressing the memory button
of the desired configuration:
[1]= Classic, [2]= Romantic, [3]= Baroque, [4]= Solo.
Here is what those settings correspond to:
After working extensively with your C-190, you may
want to recall the original factory settings.
“Initializing” means that all eight memories ([1]~[4] in
banks M1 and M2) are be replaced with the original
settings. The song memories will be empty after initializing your C-190.
Here is how to initialize your C-190:
(1) Switch off your C-190.
(2) Hold down the [REC] button while turning your
C-190 back on again.
When the MEMORY indicators ([1]~[4]) go dark, your
C-190 has been successfully initialized.

8.Connecting the C-190 to MIDI devices
Read this chapter if you wish to connect the C-190 to an external MIDI device.
After connecting the C-190 to a MIDI sequencer
(Roland MT series or a computer with sequencer software) you can record your playing using that device.
The recorder song data, however, are not transmitted
via MIDI.
When the C-190 is connected to an MT-series module
with built-in sequencer, the rich variety of sounds built
into the MT can be played from the C-190’s keyboard.
About MIDI
MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,”
was developed as a standard for exchanging performance data between electronic instruments and computers.
The C-190 is equipped with two MIDI “real” connectors
to allow such exchange of performance data with
external equipment and devices. Connecting the C-190
to other devices via these jacks provides you with an
even greater variety of ways to use your instrument.
(Be sure to only connect a PK-series pedal unit to the
PEDAL IN socket.)

About the MIDI connectors
MIDI IN socket: Use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to
connect this port to the MIDI OUT connector of the
external MIDI device. MIDI messages sent from connected external equipment will be received here. As a
result, the C-190 will produce sound, change tones,
or perform other operations.
MIDI OUT socket: Use a MIDI cable (sold separately)
to connect this port to the MIDI IN connector of the
external MIDI device. Performance data detailing
what has been played on the keyboard, and other
data, such as those generated when the optional
footswitch or expression pedal is used, is transmitted
from here to external MIDI devices.
Making the connections
Note: To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices, always turn down the volume, and switch off the
power on all devices before making any connections.
(1) Turn the volume down completely on all devices.
(2) Switch off the C-190 and any other device to be
connected.
(3) Use an optional MIDI cable to connect the external
MIDI device to the appropriate MIDI connector on
the C-190.
See the connection examples below. You should also
make the settings below as needed.
(4) Turn on the power to all equipment.
(5) Adjust the volume.
MIDI functions supported by the
C-190
The C-190 can transmit and receive various MIDI
message types, some of which are straightforward,
while others require some insight into the workings
of the MIDI standard.
MIDI channels used by the C-190
The C-190 uses the following MIDI channels for sending
and receiving MIDI messages:
ORGAN soundsChannel
MANUAL I part12
MANUAL II part13
PEDAL part14
ORCHESTRA soundsChannel
PEDAL part3
MANUAL I part4
MANUAL II part5
These channels cannot be changed, so be sure to set the
external device to the channel number of the desired
C-190 part.

Connecting the C-190 to MIDI devices
■Note messages
The C-190 transmits and receives note messages that
translate which keys you pressed on the keyboard.
■Program change, bank select messages
In ORCHESTRA mode, pressing a tab to select the
desired sound will cause the C-190 to send two bank
numbers (Bank Select MSB & LSB) as well as a program change number. When receiving such a cluster,
the C-190 selects the corresponding sound.
The following numbers are recognized.
CC00 (MSB) CC32 (LSB) PC
PEDALAC BASS080412
STRINGED080413
CELLO080405
MANUAL IPIANO080401
E. PIANO080402
GUITAR080403
STRINGS080409
CHOIR080406
In ORCHESTRA mode, the C-190 transmits and
receives CC64 messages that describe when an
optional sustain footswitch (connected to the EXP/
SUS socket) is pressed and released. Furthermore, the
C-190 sends and receives CC11 messages that
describe the movements of an optional expression
pedal.
Other control changes that the C-190 transmits are
CC91 to communicate the reverb depth setting (see
p. 16).
Note: See also the MIDI implementation chart at the end of
this manual.
■SysEx messages
The C-190 also transmits SysEx messages that have a
rather complex structure and are thus only meaningful to seasoned MIDI enthusiasts. If you work with
the internal recorder or an external sequencer, it
may, however, be possible to record them without
even knowing what they look like. See your
sequencer’s manual for details.
If the external sequencer accepts SysEx messages,
you can even record the settings of the PEDAL, MANUAL I and MANUAL II tabs, and transmit those data
back to the C-190 for real-time automation.
SysEx messages are sent and received when the tilt
tabs are operated while the [ORCHESTRA] button is
dark.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems with the C-190, please read
the following before assuming that there is a malfunction.
■The C-190 cannot be switched on
Is the adapter connected properly (page 9)?
■No sound is produced
Is the [VOLUME] slider set to the minimum position
(page 9)?
Are headphones connected? Disconnect them
(page 9).
■Cannot hear the PEDAL sound
Is the [PEDAL] slider set to the minimum position
(page 9)?
Does the indicator of one of the PEDAL tabs light?
Did you connect a MIDI cable to the PEDAL IN socket?
In that case, the PEDAL division needs to be played
from a PK-series pedal unit.
■Cannot select orchestral sounds
Does the [ORCHESTRA] button light? If not, press it.
■The organ sounds are not available
Does the [ORCHESTRA] indicator light? Press it so
that its indicator goes dark.
■Two sounds are produced when the keyboard is
played
Did you press a MANUAL II tilt tab (whose indicator
now lights)? Switch it off.
■The pitch of the keyboard seems incorrect
Is the [TUNE] setting correct (page 16)?
Is the transpose setting correct (page 17)?
Is the temperament setting correct (page 17)?
■The C-190 does not respond to your playing
Did you select the Demo mode? Leave that mode
(page 10).
■While the ORCHESTRA indicator lights, some
sounds are transposed one octave down when a
PEDAL sound is selected
This is normal and intended to provide a more natural distribution of the pitches for the left and right
sections.
■The MANUAL I sound is not available to the left
of the split point
Did you switch on at least one MANUAL I tilt tab after
switching off the [II÷I] tilt tab?
■Bass notes sound wrong/buzzing or vibration
occurs
If you don’t hear the problem in the headphones:
When playing at high volumes, resonance may occur
in the instrument itself, or in objects near the C-190.
At times, other objects in the room, such as fluorescent lights or glass doors, could start vibrating. To
minimize such unwanted resonance, please observe
the following:
• Locate the instrument at least 10~15 cm away from
the walls.
• Reduce the volume.
• Increase the distance from the object that is resonating.
If you can hear the problem in the headphones, there
may be another reason. Please contact your dealer.
■When the C-190 is connected to an external
device
Are the connections between the C-190 and the MIDI
sequencer or the other external device correct
(page 23)?

Bedienungsanleitung
DEUTSCHDEUTSCH
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für eine tragbare Orgel C-190 von Roland entschieden haben. Die C-190 ist eine neue Orgel für religiöse
Gemeinden sowie alle anderen Gelegenheiten, wo hochwertige Orgel- und Orchesterklänge in einem kompakten Instrument benötigt werden. Sie bietet außerdem eine Funktion, die ein zweimanualiges Instrument simuliert.
Gleichzeitige Verwendung von Orgel- und Orchesterklängen
Die C-190 enthält die besten Orgelklänge, die Roland bisher entwickelt hat. Zusätzlich stehen Ihnen aber auch erstklassige Instrumentalklänge zur Verfügung, die Sie zusammen mit der Orgelsektion nutzen können.
Um die C-190 “zweimanualig” zu spielen, kann man die 76er-Tastatur in zwei Bereiche aufteilen (“splitten”).
Bass- und Manual-Part
Obwohl die C-190 nur ein Manual bietet, können Sie außer monophonen Bass-Parts auch polyphone Instrumental-Parts spielen.
Normalerweise übernimmt der PEDAL-Part die monophone Bass-Stimme, d.h. er “doppelt” die jeweils tiefste Note, die Sie auf der
Tastatur spielen. Wenn Sie allerdings ein optionales MIDI-Pedal an die C-190 anschließen, lässt sich die PEDAL-Sektion per Fuß auch
polyphon spielen.
Recorder-Funktion
Die C-190 bietet eine Funktion, mit der Sie bequem Ihr eigenes Spiel aufzeichnen können.
Bitte lesen Sie sich vor dem Einsatz dieses Instruments den Abschnitt auf der nächsten Seite sorgfältig durch. Dort finden Sie nämlich wichtige Hinweise zum ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb der C-190.
Um die Funktionen der C-190 so schnell wie möglich kennen zu lernen und bei der Bedienung alles richtig zu machen, sollten Sie
sich diese Bedienungsanleitung vollständig durchlesen.
Um Verwirrungen zu vermeiden, wollen wir den Begriff “Taster” für die Druckknöpfe auf dem Bedienfeld verwenden und nur von
“Tasten” sprechen, wenn von der Tastatur der C-190 die Rede ist.
