Main Features  
We want to take a moment to thank you for your purchase of the Roland Organ “Music ATELIER AT-100/300.” The  
ATELIER is an electronic organ which provides a generous collection of rich organ sounds. In addition, it is designed  
to be easy to learn and use. In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come,  
please take the time to read through this manual in its entirety.  
* The AT-100 and AT-300 are abbreviated in this manual as “ATELIER” respectively.  
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  
The piano is indispensable to contemporary music performance. All models of the ATELIER series contain high-quality  
grand piano sounds that you will enjoy performing. In addition, the range of the lower keyboard has been expanded,  
giving you greater expressive capabilities on the piano. A damper pedal and initial touch sensitivity are also  
provided, both necessities for piano performance.  
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. Consideration has been given to data compatibility, and existing song data or registration data can be  
moved to USB memory or used by connecting a floppy disk drive.  
Music styles from around the world  
A rich variety of the world’s most representative music styles (rhythm and auto accompaniment patterns) are built-in,  
allowing you to more readily perform music from almost any genre.  
Utilizes SMF music files  
Compatible with General MIDI 2, the world standard in SMF music files. Since an external memory connector is  
provided, you can connect separately available USB memory or a floppy disk drive and take advantage of the wide  
range of commercially available SMF music files. You can also mute parts, allowing you to practice the part for each  
hand separately, and enjoy performing ensemble with the music files.

Main Features  
Features  
Harmonic bars for creating organ sounds  
The organ is equipped with “Harmonic bars,” which are much like the controllers used on traditional jazz organs. By  
operating the harmonic bars, you can easily create a diverse variety of organ sounds.  
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.  
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  
In addition to a full complement of organ tones, the ATELER also features tones that express a wide range of human  
vocal qualities, including “Jazz Scat,” which changes according to how firmly the keys are pressed, and “Classical”  
tones that perfectly express that choir image.  
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.  
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.  
Split Function  
The 61-key lower manual can be split into separate sections, with each being used to play a different tone. Using the  
Split function lets you perform with the richness of performance expression rivalling that of three-manual and even four-  
manual instruments.  
Conventions Used in This Manual  
This manual uses the following conventions in the interest of simpler, more concise instructions.
