PORTABLE ORGAN
1
Thank you for purchasing a Roland C-180 Portable Organ. The C-180 is a new organ designed for religious congrega-
tions and all other occasions that call for high-quality organ or orchestral music in a portable instrument.
Two modes: Organ and Orchestra
The C-180 comes with the finest organ sounds
Roland, and its organ division, Rodgers, have to offer.
On top of that, it also features excellent instrument
sounds for orchestral music.
In Organ mode, you can use the C-180 as “full works”
instrument by switching on all ten Manual organ
sounds simultaneously.
Bass and Manual parts
Though a single-keyboard instrument, the C-180
allows you to play monophonic bass parts (polyphon-
ic in Orchestra mode) and polyphonic instrument
sounds. The instrument sounds can be played via the
entire keyboard, while the bass notes can be triggered
via the left half of the keyboard. Whenever you play
two-hand parts (and perhaps even chords with your
left hand), the bass part will sound the lowest note of
every chord you play.
Record your own performances
The C-180 makes it easy to record your own perfor-
mances.
Before using this instrument, carefully read the section on page 2. It provides important information concerning the
proper operation of the C-180.
To get the most out of the C-180 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 refer-
ring to the C-180’s keyboard.
