Important Notes

291b

In addition to the items listed under IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and USING THE UNIT SAFELY on pages 2, 3 and 4, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply 301

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 filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

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.

308

Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord's plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.

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.

352a

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

352b

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 off.

353

Observe the following when using the units 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.

355b

When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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.

356

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

358

Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard or pedal board. 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.

Additional Precautions 552

Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on a floppy disk and internal memory 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 units 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. 555

A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.

556

When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.

5

IMPORTANT NOTES

AT-15_e.book 6

557

A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

558a

To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units 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 shock- absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.

560

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

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 infor- mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac- turer 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 drives indicator will light up at full brightness when the drive is busy reading or writing data. Ordinarily, the indicator will be less brightly lighted, or be extinguished.)

606

Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or down.

607

To prevent damage to the disk drives 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). Recom- mended 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.

653

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.

Main Features

We want to take a moment to thank you for your purchase of the Roland AT-15 Atelier Series Organ. The AT-15 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.

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.

Main Features

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.

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.

Human Voices In addition to a full complement of organ tones, the AT-15 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.

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.

Registration Buttons The AT-15 features eight highly visible and intuitive buttons for calling up registrations, which allow you to switch among tone and rhythm settings instantly. Furthermore, these are located between the upper and lower manuals for better access when performing in real time.

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.

High-Quality Reverb In addition to often-used HALL and ROOM type reverbs, the AT-15 also includes LARGE CHURCH and CATHEDRAL reverb settings, which feature extremely long reverberation times and can be used to add enormous presence to your organ performances.

Conventions Used in This Manual Button names are enclosed in square brackets ([ ]), as in [Harmony Intelligence] button.

[+] [-], [ ] [ ], [ ] [ ] means that you should press one or the other button.

Example: Value [-][+] buttons, Reverb [ ][ ] buttons, Tempo [ ][ ] buttons

If Youre Using MIDI

Whats MIDI? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a unified standard for the exchange of performance data and other information between electronic instruments and computers.

The AT-15 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance information with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect the AT-15 to an external device for even greater versatility.

About MIDI Connectors The AT-15 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. 93).

MIDI Out Connector The notes played on the keyboard, movements of the Damper pedal, Expression data, and data indicating that a Registration button [1][8] was pressed will be transmitted to the external MIDI connector.

MIDI In Connector Performance messages from an external MIDI device are received here.

These incoming messages may instruct the receiving MIDI instrument to play sounds or switch tones.

The AT-15 contains two sound generators: one sound generator for its own keyboards and one GS sound generator (p. 110). Normally, musical data transmitted from an external device to the MIDI In connector is sent to the GS sound generator, but you can also set the MIDI IN Mode parameter (p. 94) so that the keyboard sound generator is controlled.

Connecting the AT-15 to a MIDI Instrument

NOTE To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

1. Turn down the volume all the way on all equip- ment.

2. Turn off the power to the AT-15 and other connected equipment.

3. Use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to connect the MIDI connector on the external instrument to the MIDI connector on the AT-15.

4. Turn on the external MIDI device and AT-15.

5. You should change the setting of TxMIDI channel as needed (p. 93).

Connection Example: Connecting the MIDI Device

* A separate publication titled MIDI Implementation is also

available. It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI

has been implemented on this unit. If you should require this

publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-level

programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service Center

or authorized Roland distributor.

Troubleshooting

If the AT-15 does not function in the way you except, first check the following chart. If this does not resolve the problem, consult your dealer or a nearby Roland Service Station.

When you press the [Power On] switch, the power doesnt come on Power cord is not connected correctly (p. 16).

No sound is heard The [Master Volume] knob is set too low (p. 16). Headphones are connected (p. 17).

When you connect the headphones, the sound is heard only through the headphones.

The volume of each Part Balance button is set too low (p. 26).

The volume is set too low on the Expression Pedal (p. 49). You do not have a voice selected (p. 21).

Voices that have their button indicator lit can be played.

While the [Drum/SFX] button is on (lit), you are playing keys in the lower manual to which no drum sounds or effect sounds have been assigned (p. 28, p. 103).

No sound is heard (when a MIDI instrument is connected) The power of the connected external devices is not turned

on (p. 96).

Damper Pedal does not operate The damper pedal does not affect the Solo voice. The damper pedal does not affect the Upper keyboard.

Expression Pedal does not operate The function of the Expression Pedal during recording (p.

82) or the function during playback (p. 83) has been set to COMPOSER.

Pressing the expression pedal while playing back Atelier performance data produces a crackling noise Is the expression pedal function (p. 83) 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 (p. 83) to PEDAL during playback.

Cant use the function assigned to the foot switch If the Utility menu item Regist Shift (change

Registrations) is RIGHT or LEFT (p. 87), the foot switch will be dedicated to switching the Registration.

When the Human Voice Jazz Scat is selected, playing dynamics do not change the sound The Utility menu item Initial Touch is turned OFF (p.

87).

Rotary effect is not be applied Some sounds do not allow the rotary effect to be applied

(p. 102).

Even though you press only one key, a multiple number of notes sound Harmony Intelligence is at ON (p. 41). Chord Intelligence is turned ON (p. 88).

Automatic Accompaniment sounds odd The keys for a chord were not pressed simultaneously. When Chord Intelligence is OFF (p. 88), the chord is not

being pressed correctly.

Pitch is off Transpose is in effect (p. 48). The tuning is incorrect (p. 93). While set for an octave shift (p. 27), you are playing keys

Troubleshooting

AT-15_e.book 99

The bass note of the Automatic Accompaniment does not sound When a voice is selected for the Pedal Bass part, the bass

of the Automatic Accompaniment will not sound.

When you started a Rhythm with an Intro, the Rhythm did not sound Some Rhythms do not have rhythm sounds in the intro.

Sound is distorted / cracked The Part Balance volume of each part is too high (p. 26). The Reverb volume has been raised when the volume of

each Part Balance button is already raised. Either lower the Reverb volume, or adjust the Part Balance of each part (p. 26).

The [Master Volume] knob has been used to raise the overall volume excessively (p. 16).

Some keys (of certain keyboard parts) sound strange Youve assigned the same voice, using the same range, to

multiple parts.

The Rhythm does not change when you press the Registration [1][8] buttons The settings at which Registrations are recalled (Arranger

Update) has been set to DELAYED (p. 92).

Bass is heard even though you are not playing the Bass Pedalboard The Pedal [To Lower] button (p. 46) is ON.

When the Pedal [To Lower] button is ON, the Bass will be sounded by the Lower keyboard.

When playing the same sound in the Upper keyboard and Lower keyboard, the volume is different On one of the keyboards, Initial Touch is turned ON (p.

87).

Lower keyboard cannot be heard The Lower keyboard will not produce sound while an

Intro or Ending is being played.

The sound is not played correctly If you layer the same type of sound, or play an octave-

shifted organ sound, the timing at which you play a note or the phase relationship between the two sounds may affect the way in which the sounds are heard, but this is not a malfunction.

Cant play the demo songs A floppy disk is inserted in the disk drive.

In order to play the demo song, you must remove the floppy disk from the disk drive (p. 35).

Cant select Rhythms from a Music Style disk The Rhythm [Disk] button has not been selected (p. 35).

The volume level of the instrument connected to AT- 15 is too low Could you be using a connection cable that contains a

resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

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 AT-15 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 Accompa-

niment performance. The AT-15 plays an intro ideally suited

to each Rhythm when it starts playing the Automatic Accom-

paniment.

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 inver-

sions.

Mute To silence a sound. The AT-15 provides a Track Mute

function that allows you to turn off the Track Mute 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 unit of data that contains the performance state of the

instrument, such as sound selections 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.

Sustain An effect that adds a decay to each note. The AT-15 allows

sustain to be applied to the voices of the upper part, lower

part, and pedal part.

Voice The AT-15 is able to produce the sounds of various instru-

ments. These sounds are called Voices.

About ATELIER Series Sound Generator

The ATELIER series come equipped with GM2/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 General MIDI 2 is a set of recommended specifications

that provide detailed definitions for functionality such as

sound editing and effects that had not been defined in the

General MIDI, and extend the sound map to allow a higher

degree of performance expression and compatibility. Since

the General MIDI 2 is compatible with the General MIDI, it is

capable of reliably playing back music files bearing the

General MIDI logo.

GS format

The GS Format is Rolands set of specifications for standard-

izing 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 and the GS

Format, and can be used to play back music data carrying

either of these logos.

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 appears in its display.

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 1 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.

Profile

Hal Vincent Hal consistently delights his audiences with his keyboard artistry. He is equally at home on either the organ, piano, or electronic keyboard. Around the world, his concerts generate the often heard comment ....we loved it because he plays our kind of music. This is another of Hals special skills: a knack for knowing just what music to play on any occasion. An extensive repertoire combined with more than 30 years of world touring have netted Hal rave reviews while affording him the opportunity to work with some of the top names in show business. Hal has recorded several albums and published books of organ arrangements while establishing himself as an excellent clinician and teacher.

Ric Iannone Ric Iannone began playing the piano and accordion at the age of two and a half. By the time he was seven, he was performing public and private engagements with his musician father. For more than 20 years Ric has performed and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe, de- lighting audiences with his unique playing style and music arrangements. He is equally comfort- able playing the organ, piano or keyboard, as a concert artist and product demonstrator.

Rosemary Bailey Rosemary Bailey began playing the piano at the age of five, performing strictly classical music. She soon diversified and incorporated jazz and traditional popular styles in her repertoire. By the time she was nine years old, Rosemary had begun touring throughout the United states. Concurrently, she maintained a weekly radio show, The Rosemary Bailey Show, broadcast from Chicago. Rosemary has performed with many name artists including Victor Borge and Peter Nero as well as the Duke Ellington Orchestra. She was also featured soloist with the Chicago Symphony under the direction of Dr. Leon Stein. At home on electronic as well as pipe organs, her concert schedule has taken her to such countries as Japan, South Africa, Canada, Italy, Spain, England, Holland, Denmark, Portugal, Germany and Australia. Rosemarys unique arrangements involve the marriage of her classical and popular music back- ground. Perfect pitch enables her to effortlessly field requests from the audience and adds sponta- neity to all her programs. Rosemary has developed a following of musical devotees wherever she performs and her numer- ous recordings are sought after by young and old alike.
