Main Features
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.
Music styles from around the world
Many of the best-loved musical styles from around the world (rhythm and automatic accompaniment patterns) are built
in, allowing you to enjoy an international range of performances.
Utilizes SMF music files
Since a floppy disk drive is built in, you can use the wide array of commercially available SMF music files to enjoy
ensemble performances or automatic playback.
Features
RSS reverb technology is used to create a high-quality ambience that surrounds the listener
The AT-90S/80S provides an AUX OUT for RSS Ambience, allowing you to enjoy very high quality RSS reverb sound. In
addition, a speaker is built into the panel, ensuring that the performer will also enjoy the exceptional sound quality.
Featuring the newly developed V-Arranger with sophisticated rhythm sounds and realistic
automatic accompaniment
You will enjoy rhythm and automatic accompaniment so realistic that it sounds like your own backup band is right there!
Newly 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.
