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.
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.
Super Natural technology
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.
