Roland AT-90S Electronic Keyboard User Manual


 
Elegant Design Worthy of a
Flagship Atelier
The AT-90S is based on a traditional organ
console design and is impeccably crafted from
the finest American woods. The elegant dark
walnut cabinet features an illuminated console
panel and 25 wooden pedals, which cover a
wide range of registers and free you from
the common single-octave limit. An adjustable
music stand is also included for easy sheet
music positioning.
A Full Compliment of
High-Quality Organ Sounds
The AT-90S lets you fully enjoy the high-
quality organ sounds that form the foundation
of organ music: jazz organ, pipe organ and
theater organ. And unlike other Ateliers,
the AT-90S is equipped with a footage sound
source that combines ranks of different lengths
to produce a rich, full-bodied sound just like
a real pipe organ. There s
even a Digital Harmonic
Bar function that can
modify the volume
balance of each footage
for flute-type voices.
New Features and Functions
Combine for Incredible
Performance
The AT-90S features a variety of onboard
effects including rotary, sustain and enhanced
reverb based on Roland s RSS (Roland Sound
Space) technology. A built-in speaker provides
incredibly rich sound, while Auxiliary output
jacks for the RSS ambiance can be used to
connect the AT-90S to an external audio
system, making it possible to enjoy the rich
ambience of a concert hall or cathedral right
in your own home.
Simplified Front Panel Layout
The AT-90S front panel is designed with a
simple, straightforward button layout so that
players will feel comfortable from the moment
they first sit down.
A large, clear color
touchscreen makes it
easy to access the
many exciting features
of this advanced,
yet intuitive instrument.
Inspiring New Sounds to Release
Your Creative Potential
In addition to organ sounds, the AT-90S
features stunning pianos, strings, brass, guitars
and more. New Active Expression Sounds add
a highly expressive touch to your performance,
from the unique fortes of brass and woodwind
instruments to the subtle harmonies of layered
organ sounds. Additional Human Voice
sounds such as Gregorian Choir, Jazz Scat and
Soprano Voice are also provided complete
with phrases like Amen and Hallelujah.
Diverse Music Styles to Expand
Your Creative Potential
One of the AT-90S greatest features is its wide
range of music styles (rhythms and performance
patterns), which were produced by professional
musicians from around the world. Create lush
accompaniments using the Big Band or March
styles, or use a simple acoustic instrumental
style to complement a vocal soloist. These styles
are so realistic, it feels like you re playing with
a live band! The AT-90S also has a variety of
Style Orchestrator functions that add diversity
to the accompaniments based on the selected
style.
Helpful Features Make It Easy to
Sound Great!
The AT-90S can even help you select
the optimum settings for your performance.
16 different accompaniment settings for each
music style can be accessed simply by pressing
the One Touch Program button. A helpful Music
Assistant makes it easy to load optimum rhythm,
tempo and tone settings by selecting keywords
on the LCD panel.
And with the Quick
Registration function,
you can enjoy brilliant
registrations created by
world-renowned
organists.
Innovative Functions Create New
Potential for Organ Music
Take your playing further with unique features
like Harmony Intelligence, which creates
beautiful harmonies based on left-hand chords.
A floppy disk drive lets you load commercially
available Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) and
view song lyrics or notation right on the LCD,
and lyrics can even be displayed on an external
monitor using the built-in video output.
The LCD panel also displays musical sequences
for easy composition and arrangement with
the onboard multitrack
recorder. Features like
these are only found in a
genuine Roland Atelier
like the AT-90S.
The flagship model of the Atelier series
combines graceful elegance with
unsurpassed musical expressiveness.
