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.

Super Natural
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.

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.

Main Features
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.

76-note lower keyboard for plenty of range
The 76-note range can be split into zones, allowing a solo voice, pedal bass voice, percussion, etc., to be played
independently for an even wider range of performance possibilities. Since the lower keyboard can be divided into a
maximum of four parts, you have at your command expressive power that rivals that of a three-manual organ.
In addition, you can use the Drums/SFX function to play drum sounds or sound effects from the entire lower keyboard.

Connect external speakers for even greater presence
Using the Aux Out jack, the accompaniment parts and an enveloping ambience of RSS reverb sound can be played
through external speakers to create the impression that you’re playing along with a band or orchestra.
In addition, the drums, bass, and other sounds can be output separately, allowing you to adjust the volume balance
during a concert.

Large, wide LCD
For convenience, the frame area of the wide LCD screen always displays buttons for frequently used functions. You
can also view the tempo and measure number in any screen. The color liquid-crystal touch panel ensures excellent
visibility and easy operability.

Some Notes on Using a Microphone
fig.00-31.eps

• To avoid disturbing others, be careful of the volume level
when playing late at night or very early in the morning.
• When connecting a microphone to the ATELIER, be sure
to lower the volume. If the volume control is too high
when the microphone is plugged in, noise may be
produced by the speakers.
• Howling could be produced depending on the location
of microphones relative to speakers. This can be
remedied by:
• Changing the orientation of the microphone.
• Relocating the microphone so it is farther from the
speakers.
• Lowering volume levels.

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 respectively, and two harmonic bars for the pedal 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. You can use the Solo part’s harmonic bars to adjust the volume of the Solo part voice. 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 (0–8). 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. 54 If you’ve selected “Pipe” or “Theater” as the vintage organ type, the harmonic bars will turn the various footages on or off. AT-800_e.book 55 ページ 2008年10月15日 水曜日 午前9時37分 Selecting and Playing Sounds Time 8' volume: 8 Time Time 4' volume: 5 What’s the feet? Selecting and Playing Sounds “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. When the middle C (C4) note is pressed, each harmonic bar will sound the following notes. 16' 5 1/3' 8' 4' 2 2/3' 2' 1 3/5' 1 1/3' 1' one octave below 5th root 8th 12th 15th 17th 19th 22nd 8' = 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. 55 AT-800_e.book 56 ページ 2008年10月15日 水曜日 午前9時37分 Selecting and Playing Sounds Playing a Vintage Organ Voice Selecting the Type of Vintage Organ 1.

Vintage Organ Type Flute Pipe Theater Function of the Harmonic Bars Slide the harmonic bars to adjust the volume of each footage over a range of nine steps (0–8). Use the harmonic bars to turn each footage on/off. Pulling a harmonic bar out will turn it on, and pushing it in will turn it off. The harmonic bar for the Solo part will adjust the volume of the voice selected for the Solo part. When you move the Solo part’s harmonic bar, the Solo part’s level indicator will also change. 56 Percussion is often used with Flute. It can also be used with Pipe or Theater, but if you have selected percussion for Flute, switching to Pipe or Theater will cause percussion to be cancelled automatically.

AT-800_e.book 61 ページ 2008年10月15日 水曜日 午前9時37分 Selecting and Playing Sounds Realistically Expressing an Acoustic Instrument Performance (Articulation Voice) What is an 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 employ the instrument’s rich variety of tonal changes and diverse performance techniques (articulations). Voices that are able to realistically express these acoustic instrument sounds and techniques are called “articulation voices” on the ATELIER. By using articulation voices, you can express the sounds and techniques of such instruments in real time. When playing an articulation voice, playing the keyboard legato or staccato will cause the sound to change according to your playing technique. By also using aftertouch, foot switch, etc., while you play, you can apply a variety of effects to the sound, making your performance even richer and more realistic. Terms Used with Articulation Voices What is aftertouch? This allows you to apply various effects to the sound by pressing down on the key after you’ve played a note. Legato playing This refers to the play of successive notes without causing a break between them to be perceived. On a keyboard instrument, you would play the next note slightly before releasing the currently held key, causing the notes to briefly overlap. Staccato playing This is the opposite of legato playing, and means that you clearly separate each note you play. In other words, you would release the currently held key before playing the next note. Dynamics This refers to the variations between loud and soft when playing an instrument, and includes not only changes in volume but also performance techniques that affect the tonal character. For articulation voices, you can use aftertouch, initial touch, and expression pedal to vary the dynamics. Portamento This is a technique in which the pitch is changed smoothly from one note to the next. This smooth change in pitch is particularly effective when playing bowed string sounds such as violin or cello, or trombone. What is initial touch? This refers to the way in which the loudness or character of the sound is affected by the force with which you strike the keys. Slight variations in your playing touch can add expressive character to the sound. 61 Selecting and Playing Sounds Playing an Articulation Voice AT-800_e.book 62 ページ 2008年10月15日 水曜日 午前9時37分 Selecting and Playing Sounds Selecting a Articulation Voice Articulation voices can be selected only using the Solo part’s [Others] button. 1.

If you play legato, the sound will change smoothly between notes. If you play staccato, the sound will have a crisp attack. Using Aftertouch or the Expression Pedal Aftertouch will affect the dynamics and vibrato of an articulation voice. As you apply stronger pressure to the keyboard, the dynamics will increase and the vibrato will become deeper. As you relax your pressure on the keyboard, the dynamics will decrease and the vibrato will become shallower. The expression pedal will vary the dynamics and vibrato in the same way as aftertouch, but for voices other than the Solo part, the volume will change in the same way as a conventional expression pedal. You should use aftertouch if you want to apply expressive effects only to the articulation voice. 64 After Touch –> p. 61 Dynamics –> p. 61 What is vibrato? This is an effect that modulates the pitch of the notes you play on the keyboard.

CONTROL1 p. 134 65 AT-800_e.book 66 ページ 2008年10月15日 水曜日 午前9時37分 Selecting and Playing Sounds Tips for Performing with an Articulation Voice Distinctive Features of the Violin (Art.Violin) The distinctive character of the violin lies in its rich vibrato, the portamento playing technique, which allows the pitch to be changed smoothly, and the pizzicato technique, in which the string is plucked with a finger. The Art.Violin sound lets you express these distinctive features of the violin. Performance tips Changes in the tonal character and the depth of vibrato are very important elements of violin performance. The most important thing is to skillfully use aftertouch to control the dynamics. You can also emphasize the attack of the notes by playing a key strongly. Portamento is another distinctive element. In order to perform with portamento, set the foot switch setting to ART.CONTROL1, and play legato on the keyboard while pressing the foot switch. Playing the new note strongly will produce a rapid portamento, while playing the new note gently will produce a slow portamento. Quickly playing an upward or downward chromatic step will produce a violin-like effect in which the sound is completely connected. By using this at appropriate points in your phrases, you can perform in a highly effective way. Normally, the Art.Violin sound will play monophonically, but if you play multiple keys simultaneously or play, you’ll be able to play the multiple-stop notes that are distinctive of the violin (up to four-note chords). Foot switch effect Item Description ART. CONTROL1 By playing the keyboard legato while holding down the foot switch, you can produce portamento that changes the pitch smoothly. ART. CONTROL2 By playing the keyboard while holding down the foot switch, you can produce a pizzicato sound of the string being plucked with the finger instead of being played with a bow. Recommended pitch range G3–G7 (when Octave Shift is 0. Middle C is C4.) Distinctive Features of the Cello (Art.Cello) Important aspects of the cello’s sound are its deep body resonances and the rich tonal changes. The Art.Cello sound lets you fully express these distinctive nuances of the cello. 66 “Multiple stopping” is a technique by which more than one note can be played simultaneously on a violin or other stringed instrument. AT-800_e.book 67 ページ 2008年10月15日 水曜日 午前9時37分 Selecting and Playing Sounds Performance tips The basic performance techniques are the same as for Art.Violin. You can use aftertouch and expression pedal to control the dynamics and produce a richly expressive mid- and low-range sound. Striking the keys more strongly will emphasize the attack by adding a brief sound of the bow scraping on the strings. The pizzicato that is heard when you set the foot switch setting to ART.CONTROL2 and play a note lets you instantly change from arco (bowed) sounds to pizzicato (plucked). You can make effective use of this by switching between the two sounds at the right moment within a phrase. Selecting and Playing Sounds The Art.Cello instrument has a low pitch range. If you’re playing it on the upper manual, you’ll probably want to set Octave Shift to -1 to increase the area in which the sound can be played effectively. Foot switch effect Item Setting ART. CONTROL1 By playing the keyboard legato while holding down the foot switch, you can produce portamento that changes the pitch smoothly. ART. CONTROL2 By playing the keyboard while holding down the foot switch, you can produce a pizzicato sound of the string being plucked with the finger instead of being played with a bow. Recommended pitch range C2–F5 (when Octave Shift is 0. Middle C is C4.) Distinctive Features of the Trombone (Art.Trombone) The most distinctive feature of the trombone is the portamento effect obtained by using the slide. The Art.Trombone sound supports this performance technique. Performance tips The dynamics control produced by aftertouch and expression pedal lets you smoothly and naturally transition from a softly blown gentle sound to a strongly blow intense sound. Striking the keys more strongly will produce a briefly “overblown” sound. The portamento technique, which smoothly changes the pitch, is an important part of the trombone’s distinctive character, but can sound unnatural if overused. The key is to use it only at a limited number of points in the song where it will be most effective. The Art.Trombone instrument has a low pitch range. If you’re playing it on the upper manual, you’ll probably want to set Octave Shift to -1. 67 AT-800_e.book 68 ページ 2008年10月15日 水曜日 午前9時37分 Selecting and Playing Sounds Foot switch effect Description Item If you hold down the foot switch and play the keyboard legato, you will obtain a portamento effect in which the pitch will change smoothly. ART. CONTROL1 ART. CONTROL2 Recommended pitch range E2–A5 (when Octave Shift is 0. Middle C is C4.) Distinctive Features of the Tenor Sax (Art.TenorSax) From soft and gentle tones to crisp, strong notes, the Art.TenorSax sound lets you express the broad range of the tenor sax. Performance tips An important aspect of sax performance is to make skillful distinctions between legato and staccato. Be aware of the difference between playing a smooth phrase with a single breath, and playing a phrase with sharply distinguished notes. The first note of a phrase you play will include the slight upward swoop in pitch that is distinctive of wind instruments. When you play crisp staccato notes or rapid passages, the corresponding nuances distinctive of a sax will also be expressed in an appropriate manner. By letting up a bit on the aftertouch at the end of a phrase, you can express the sensation of the sound’s natural decay as you stop blowing into the instrument. The same effect can be produced by returning the expression pedal slightly toward yourself instead of using aftertouch. The growl effect produced by the foot switch ART.CONTROL2 is particularly useful when you want to emphasize a phrase in styles such as jazz. It’s effective when used on one or two notes at a musical climax. Foot switch effect Item Setting ART. CONTROL1 By playing the keyboard legato while you hold down the foot switch, you can apply portamento to smoothly vary the pitch between notes. ART. CONTROL2 By playing the keyboard while you hold down the foot switch, you can apply a growl effect, as if the performer was “moaning” while blowing into the instrument. Recommended pitch range G#2–D#5 (when Octave Shift is 0. Middle C is C4.) 68 What is the growl effect? This is an effect produced by vocalizing into the mouthpiece of a sax while blowing. It produces the powerful and distinctively distorted sound unique to a sax.

The ATELIER has a total of twelve Registration buttons, and one set of panel settings can be registered to each button, for a total of twelve types of panel settings. Each set of panel settings that has been stored in a Registration button is called a “Registration.” This provides a convenient way to change large numbers of panel settings during a performance, or to recall a complex panel setting. Settings that have been stored to Registration buttons [1]–[12] are remembered even if the power is turned off. If you wish to restore the settings stored in the Registration buttons to their factory settings, use the “Factory Reset” operation (p. 25). fig.03-01.eps About the Registration Buttons In addition to assigning voices and Rhythms to the Registration buttons, you can also store the following settings: • Panel button settings (for example, settings for the Level [▲] [▼] buttons and Solo [To Lower] button, etc.) • Controller settings (functions assigned to foot switches, pitch bend range, etc.) • Other types of settings (reverb type, tempo settings, degree of initial touch, etc.) If you would like to know all of the settings that can be recorded to the Registration buttons, refer to “Settings That Are Stored In the Individual Registration Buttons” (p. 276). The twelve settings stored at the Registration buttons can be saved as a “set” in USB memory, a floppy disk, or user memory (p. 113). In addition to the settings saved to the Registration buttons, the following data is also saved when Registration sets are saved. • Registration Name →p. 111 • Registration Shift →p. 135 • Arranger Update →p. 109 • Trans.
