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 organno 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 worlds 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.

Main Features

AT-100-300_e.book 9

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.

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 four- manual instruments.

This manual uses the following conventions in the interest of simpler, more concise instructions. The AT-100 and AT-300 are abbreviated in this manual as ATELIER respectively. In this manual, an illustration of the AT-300 is sometimes used for explanatory purposes.

985 The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display.

Note, however, that your ATELIER may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.

Button names are enclosed in square brackets ([ ]), as in [Drums/SFX] button. [] [], [ ] [ ] means that you should press one or the other button.

Example: Reverb [] [] buttons, Tempo [ ] [ ] buttons. An asterisk (*) or a at the beginning of a paragraph indicates a note or precaution. These should not

be ignored. (p. **) refers to pages within the manual.

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 (08). 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.

Whats 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.

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 low- frequency portion prevents the sound from becoming muddy. On the ATELIER faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Procedure for Creating Registration Sets

Prepare the Registrations A convenient way to make the sequence of Registration buttons to be pressed easy to understand is to store the panel settings starting from the Registration [1] button, continuing with subsequent buttons in accordance with the progression of the song.

Save the Registrations to the USB memory or User memory If you want to use more than eight Registrations in a song, save the settings for Registration buttons [1][8] to a USB memory or User memory as a set, then continue to store further panel settings again, starting from Registration button [1]. Save all of the Registration sets you have set to the USB memory or user memory.

Arrange the Registrations in the sequence they are to be used Save the Registration sets to the USB memory or user memory in the order they are to be used in the song.

Using Registration Sets

Call up the Registration sets saved on the USB memory to the ATELIER Insert the USB memory containing the saved Registration sets into the external memory connector, and read the Registration sets into the ATELIER.

Switch the Registration sets as you perform Press the Registration buttons to switch Registrations as you play the song. If you want to recall the next registration set, assign the foot switch to Switch Registrations + Load Next function, and recall the next registration set (p. 70).

1. Make all the panel settings that you wish to store.

2. While holding down the [Write] button, press one of the Registration [1] [8] buttons. The panel settings will be stored in the selected Registration button.

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control the performances on one device from the other. For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch voice on the other instrument.

Whats MIDI?

MIDI, short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, was developed as a standard for the exchange of performance data between electronic instruments and computers. The ATELIER is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect the ATELIER to an external device for even greater versatility.

About MIDI Connectors

The ATELIER has two kinds of MIDI connectors. Connecting these to the MIDI connectors on a MIDI instrument makes it possible for the two instruments to control each other. For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch tones on the other instrument. You should also set the MIDI send channel as needed (p. 117). fig.10-09.eps

MIDI Out Connector Connect the external MIDI device to the MIDI IN connector with an optional MIDI cable. The notes played on the keyboard, movements of the Damper pedal, Expression data, data indicating that a Registration button [1][8], etc., was pressed will be transmitted to the external MIDI connector.

MIDI In Connector Connect the external MIDI device to the MIDI out connector with an optional MIDI cable. Performance messages from an external MIDI device are received here. These incoming messages may instruct the receiving MIDI instrument to play sounds or switch voices. The ATELIER contains two sound generators: one sound generator for its own keyboards and one GM2/GS sound generator (p. 133). Normally, musical data transmitted from an external device to the MIDI In connector is sent to the GM2/GS sound generator, but you can also set the MIDI IN Mode parameter (p. 116) so that the keyboard sound generator is controlled.

The Bass Range Sounds Odd, or There Is a Vibrating Resonance

When listening through speakers: Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the ATELIER to resonate. Resonance can also occur with fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and other objects. In particular, this problem occurs more easily when the bass component is increased, and when the sound is played at higher volumes.

Use the following measures to suppress such resonance. Place speakers so they are 10-15 cm

from walls and other surfaces. Reduce the volume. Move the speakers away from any

resonating objects.

- - -

When listening through headphones: Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the ATELIER) would be suspect.

Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

Pressing the expression pedal while playing back ATELIER performance data produces a crackling noise

The expression pedal function is set to PEDAL+COMPOSER during playback of ATELIER performance data. When this setting is used, moving the expression pedal while playing back ATELIER performance data may create a difference between the expression pedal information in the performance data and the volume as set with the expression pedal, which can result in this kind of sound being produced.

Set the expression pedal function to PEDAL during playback.

Glossary

Arrangement

This refers to changes that have been made in an original tune, by adding a new accompaniment or by changing the instruments used.

Automatic Accompaniment

Automatic Accompaniment is automatic accompaniment when just a few keys in the lower section of the keyboard are pressed to specify the chord.

Basic Chord

This refers to the most commonly used types of chord, which are generally the following six types: major chords, minor chords, minor seventh chords, minor seventh (5) chords, dominant seventh chords, and diminished seventh chords.

Chord

Notes of two or more pitches sounded simultaneously. Chords consisting of three notes are called triads, and are the most basic type of chord.

Ending

This is the last part of the accompaniment. When you stop playing the Automatic Accompaniment, the ATELIER plays an Ending appropriate for the Rhythm.

Glide

An effect that temporarily lowers the pitch and then gradually returns it to normal.

Intro

This is the introductory portion of an Automatic Accompaniment performance. When automatic accompaniment begins, the ATELIER can add an appropriate intro for each rhythm.

Inversion

When the lowest note of a chord is the root, the chord is said to be in root position. In contrast, forms of a chord in which other notes are the lowest pitch are called inversions.

Mute

To silence a sound. The ATELIER provides a Track Mute function that allows you to turn off the track button indicator of a track on which music data has been recorded, so that the corresponding track will temporarily be silenced.

Panel Settings

Settings such as sound selections, tempo, Rotary fast/slow.

Registration

A set of data that specifies the state of the instrument when performing, including sounds and panel settings.

Reverb

An effect that simulates the reverberation of a room or concert hall.

Root Note

The root note is the basis of a chord. All chords are built on a root note, which is the part of the chord name given in uppercase letters.

Rotary

An effect which simulates the modulation given to the sound when a rotating speaker is used. The Rotary effect produces two types of modulation: fast or slow.

Sound Generator

This is the section that produces the sound. The ATELIER series uses a sound generator that is compatible with GM2/GS.

Split

A function which allows the keyboard to be divided into two or more areas, and a different sound assigned to each area. The point at which the keyboard is divided is called the Split Point.

Sustain

An effect that adds a decay to each note. The ATELIER allows sustain to be applied to the voices of the upper part, lower part, and pedal part.

Voice

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

Music Files That the ATELIER Can Use

What Are Music Files? Music files contains musical information such as how long the key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to the key played, and other such information. Performance data is transmitted to the ATELIER from music files saved in USB memory and CD-ROM, and played back without change as songs. This is different than an audio CD, since the music file does not contain a recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible to change tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in many different ways.

Regarding Copyright Use of the internal songs and audio files for any purpose other than private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder.

Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially available SMF music files, such works may violate copyright law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment. Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright violation you may commit by creating such works.

The ATELIER Allows You To Use the Following Music Files

VIMA TUNES VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that contains image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs with lyrics and images simultaneously. When data bearing the VIMA TUNES logo is played back on a device that bears the same logo, lyrics can be shown on the screen of a connected external display or television, letting you enjoy karaoke or watch a slide show.

SMF Music Files SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file that was formulated so that files containing music file could be widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the listening device. An enormous variety of music is available, whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments, for Karaoke, etc.

SMF with Lyrics SMF with Lyrics refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the SMF with Lyrics logo are played back on a compatible device (one bearing the same logo), the lyrics will appear in its display.

The ATELIER come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.

About the ATELIER Sound Generator The ATELIER come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.

General MIDI The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.

General MIDI 2 The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.

In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as General MIDI 1 as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.

GS Format The GS Format is Rolands set of specifications for standardizing the performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including support for everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format additionally offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of extra features, including effects such as reverb and chorus. Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily include new sounds and support new hardware features when they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General MIDI, Rolands GS Format is capable of reliably playing back GM Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music files that have been created with the GS Format in mind). This product supports both the General MIDI 2 and the GS Format, and can be used to play back music data carrying either of these logos.

XGlite XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General MIDI specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone generation format. You can play back any XG music files using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some music files may play back differently compared to the original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
