Main Features of AT-5
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.
Complete Set of Basic Voice
The AT-5 includes not only organ voices, but strings, piano, guitar, brass, and other voices,
providing a full complement of basic instrument voices. Each of the voices used is of the same high
quality as those found in finer instruments.
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.
Split Function
You can split the 61 keys into two separate registers, and play with a different voice in each.
Additionally, you can use the lower registers as the part for the automatic accompaniment chord
recognition, and the upper part for performing melody.
Harmony Intelligence
The AT-5 features a built-in Harmony Intelligence function that automatically creates harmonies
in the voices played in the upper part of the keyboard in accordance with the chords played in the
lower part. This gives you greater tonal depth and a more powerful performance.
High-Quality Reverb
Reverb (reverberation) is a critical element that is a must for organ performances. The AT-5
features high-quality internal reverb, allowing you to enjoy organ performances filled with
presence.
