For details on other functionality, please refer to the AT-900 owner’s manual. New Functions Explained in This Manual “Pipe organ” voices ■■High-quality pipe organ voices have been added. You’ll be able to play classic pipe organ pieces with realistic sound. ■■A pipe organ group has been added to Quick Registration, allowing you to select voice settings suitable for pipe organ performance. ■■We’ve added settings that facilitate the enjoyment of a full-fledged pipe organ sound when external speakers are connected. Vintage organ “Flute” ■■In addition to the organ sounds (JAZZ TYPE) you expect from the Music Atelier, organ sounds suitable for pop and rock (ROCK TYPE) have been added. ■■You can now apply overdrive while performing. ■■You can now edit organ sounds in detail, including aspects typical of the organ such as the rotary effect and percussion. SuperNATURAL voices “Articulation voices” have been renamed as “SuperNATURAL voices.” New SuperNATURAL voices have also been added. What are SuperNATURAL Voices? Taking advantage of Behavior Modeling Technology, SuperNATURAL is Roland’s exclusive sound set that achieves a new level of realism and expression that were difficult to realize with previous sound generators. Behavior Modeling Technology Not only physical modeling of the instruments, Roland takes it a step further by modeling the instrument’s distinctive behavior that responds to how the performer plays, resulting in true-to-life, expressive sounds in realtime. D-BEAM More functions and effects can now be controlled using the D-BEAM controller. Rhythm ■■We have added new rhythms that are easy to use with organ performances. Some of the drum sets have improved sounds that offer greater realism and power. For details on the rhythms that have been added, refer to “List of Added Rhythms.” ■■The Arranger function now uses “Adaptive Chord Voicing technology” so that the automatic accompaniment will change in a smoother and more musical way when you change chords. ■■In conjunction with this, the Rhythm Mode setting formerly present on the AT-900 has been removed; the function will always operate as with the “ORIGINAL” setting. ■■You can now adjust the volume balance for each accompaniment part. Recording and playback ■■In addition to the existing recording method (SMF), songs can now be recorded in the form of audio data. ■■Such audio recordings can be burned to a CD-R and finalized to create a music CD. ■■The song tempo (playback speed) can now be changed. 3 Introduction Hymn player A “Hymn Player,” which provides an organ accompaniment for hymns, has been added. Notation You can now export three-staff organ notation in BMP format. This is useful for educational needs. Various other settings ■■We have added various settings related to sound and images, as well as functions that change the operation of buttons. ■■Now you can also select the language shown in the screen. Demo songs We have added the following three songs that take advantage of the SuperNATURAL voices and the expressive power of the pipe organ.
