Main Features
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.
Human voices
In addition to its diverse organ voices, the ATELIER-S series instruments also offer
unique vocals, such as “Jazz Scat.”
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 ton-
al depth and a more powerful performance.
Store disk styles in internal memory
Although the Rhythm [Disk] button already contains various rhythms, these can be re-
placed by rhythms from a music style disk. Rhythms that are loaded from a music style
disk into internal memory will not be lost even when the power is turned off, so you will
find it convenient to load frequently used rhythms into internal memory.
The Lyrics for SMF Music Files can be displayed
When playing back commercially available SMF music files with lyrics, the lyrics can be
viewed on the instrument’s display, allowing you to enjoy karaoke.
Conventions Used in This Manual

be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer,
enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see
in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
