IMPORTANT NOTES
556
Handling Floppy Disks
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
651
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of
magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is
required to enable storage of large amounts of data on
such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity,
please observe the following when handling Floppy disks:
• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
• Do not use or store Floppy disks in dirty or dusty
areas.
• Do not subject Floppy disks to temperature extremes
(e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recom-
mended temperature range: 10 to 50° C (50 to 122° F).
• Do not expose Floppy disks to strong magnetic fields,
557
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
\558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
\559b
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-
absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing
so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and
could lead to malfunction.
such as those generated by loudspeakers.
652
• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect
560
the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that
the tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to
the WRITE position only when you wish to write new
data onto the disk.
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in
use.
\562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
Rear side of the disk
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the
“Protect” position) before you insert them into the drive
on some other unit (except the PR-300, or a product in the
HP-G, MT, KR, or Atelier families), or into a computer’s
drive. Otherwise (if the write protect tab remains in the

Main Features
We want to take a moment to thank you for your purchase of the Roland AT-20S “Atelier
Series” Organ.
The AT-20S 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.
■ 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 fea-
ture 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
Piano is indispensable to the performance of contemporary music. On the ATELIER se-
ries, the lower keyboard features an expanded range that gives you the expressive pow-
er of a piano. The keyboard also features half-damper pedal capability and initial touch
sensitivity, both indispensable for piano performance.
All models provide high-quality grand piano sounds.
❍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. Data compatibility has also been carefully taken
into account, and song data or registration data from earlier models can be used without
change.
❍Music styles from around the world
Many of the best-loved musical styles from around the world (rhythm and automatic ac-
companiment patterns) are built in, allowing you to enjoy an international range of per-
formances.
❍Utilizes SMF music files
Since a floppy disk drive is built in, you can use the wide array of commercially available
SMF music files to enjoy ensemble performances or automatic playback.

Main Features
■ 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.

Selecting and Playing Sounds
Selecting Voices
The AT-20S is able to produce the sounds of various instruments. These sounds are
called “Voices” (or tones). It is very easy to select voices.
■ About the Voices and Parts
The AT-20S has two keyboards and one Pedalboard, as shown below.
From top to bottom these are called the “Upper Keyboard,” “Lower Keyboard,” and
“Pedalboard.”
fig.02-04
Upper Keyboard
Lower Keyboard
Pedalboard
The Upper Keyboard and Lower Keyboard each have two parts: “Organ,” “Orchestral.”
You can select one voice for each part, meaning that it is possible to layer up to two voic-
es on each keyboard and play them simultaneously.
The voice of the “Solo” part can be layered on the Upper keyboard.
The Pedalboard has the part: “Pedal.”

Saving Registration Sets to a Floppy Disk
With the settings of Registration [1]–[4] buttons considered as one set, a single floppy
disk can store up to 99 sets of data. We recommend that complex panel settings or Reg-
istrations you wish to keep be saved on disk. If AT-20S Registrations that you create are
saved on a floppy disk, they can then be recalled later or recalled for use on another AT-
20S.

Formatting Disks
Before any floppy disk (new or used) can be used with the AT-20S, it must first be for-
matted (prepared).
Floppy disks must first be “formatted” (initialized) before they can be used by the AT-
20S to store data. “Formatting” is the process of erasing any data which may have been
on the disk and making the format of the floppy disk match the format of the device. The
AT-20S cannot use a floppy disk that has a format differing from its own format.
Formatting a disk will erase any data that may have been stored on it. Carefully check any
previously used disk to be sure it doesn’t contain any valuable data.

The AT-20S has two kinds of MIDI connectors.
3. Use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to connect
the MIDI connector on the external instrument
to the MIDI connector on the AT-20S.
Connecting these to the MIDI connectors on a MIDI
instrument makes it possible for the two instruments to
control each other.
4. Turn on the external MIDI device and AT-20S.
For instance, you can output sound from the other
instrument or switch tones on the other instrument.
You should also set the MIDI send channel as needed.
5. You should change the setting of TxMIDI chan-
nel as needed.
Connection Example:

The AT-20S contains two sound generators: one sound
generator for its own keyboards and one GS sound generator
(p. 113). Normally, musical data transmitted from an external
device to the MIDI In connector is sent to the GS sound
generator, but you can also set the “MIDI IN Mode”
parameter (p. 96) so that the keyboard sound generator is
controlled.

Glossary
Arrangement
Panel Settings
This refers to changes that have been made in an original
tune, by adding a new accompaniment or by changing the
instruments used.
Settings such as sound selections, tempo, Rotary fast/slow.
Registration
A unit of data that contains the performance state of the
instrument, such as sound selections and panel settings.
Automatic Accompaniment
Automatic Accompaniment is automatic accompaniment
when just a few keys in the lower section of the keyboard are
pressed to specify the chord.
Reverb
An effect that simulates the reverberation of a room or
concert hall.
Basic Chord
Root Note
This refers to the most commonly used types of chord, which
are generally the following six types: major chords, minor
chords, minor seventh chords, minor seventh ( 5) chords,
The root note is the basis of a chord. All chords are built on a
root note, which is the part of the chord name given in
uppercase letters.
dominant seventh chords, and diminished seventh chords.
Rotary
Chord
An effect which simulates the modulation given to the sound
when a rotating speaker is used. The Rotary effect produces
two types of modulation: fast or slow.
Notes of two or more pitches sounded simultaneously.
Chords consisting of three notes are called “triads,” and are
the most basic type of chord.
Sustain
Ending
An effect that adds a decay to each note. The AT-20S allows
sustain to be applied to the voices of the upper part, lower
part, and pedal part.
This is the last part of the accompaniment. When you stop
playing the Automatic Accompaniment, the AT-20S plays an
Ending appropriate for the Rhythm.
Voice
Glide
The AT-20S is able to produce the sounds of various instru-
ments. These sounds are called “Voices.”
An effect that temporarily lowers the pitch and then
gradually returns it to normal.
Intro
This is the introductory portion of an Automatic Accompa-
niment performance. The AT-20S plays an intro ideally
suited to each Rhythm when it starts playing the Automatic
Accompaniment.
Inversion
When the lowest note of a chord is the root, the chord is said
to be in “root position.” In contrast, forms of a chord in
which other notes are the lowest pitch are called “inver-
sions.”
Mute
To silence a sound. The AT-20S provides a Track Mute
function that allows you to turn off the track button indicator
of a track on which music data has been recorded, so that the
corresponding track will temporarily be silenced.

either of these logos.
The ATELIER series come equipped with GM2/GS sound
generators.
SMF with Lyrics
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that
contains the lyrics. When music files carrying the “SMF with
Lyrics” logo are played back on a compatible device (one
bearing the same logo), the lyrics appears in its display.
General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks
to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files
that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General
MIDI logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit
to produce essentially the same musical performance.
General MIDI 2
The General MIDI 2 is a set of recommended specifications
that provide detailed definitions for functionality such as
sound editing and effects that had not been defined in the
General MIDI, and extend the sound map to allow a higher
degree of performance expression and compatibility. Since
the General MIDI 2 is compatible with the General MIDI, it is
capable of reliably playing back music files bearing the
General MIDI logo.
GS format
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standard-
izing the performance of sound generating devices. In
addition to including support for everything defined by the
General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format additionally
offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the
editing of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide
range of extra features, including effects such as reverb and
chorus.
Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily
include new sounds and support new hardware features
when they arrive.
Since it is upwardly compatible with the General MIDI,
Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back GM
Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music
files that have been created with the GS Format in mind).
This product supports both the General MIDI and the GS

■ Profile
Hal Vincent
Hal consistently delights his audiences with his keyboard artistry. He is equally at home
on either the organ, piano, or electronic keyboard. Around the world, his concerts gen-
erate the often heard comment “....we loved it because he plays our kind of music.” This
is another of Hal’s special skills: a knack for knowing just what music to play on any oc-
casion.
An extensive repertoire combined with more than 30 years of world touring have netted
Hal rave reviews while affording him the opportunity to work with some of the top
names in show business. Hal has recorded several albums and published books of organ
arrangements while establishing himself as an excellent clinician and teacher.
Hector Olivera
Hector Olivera was born in Argentina. He received his education at the Conservatory
and the University of Buenos Aires followed by a scholarship at the famous Juilliard
School of Music in New York. Olivera has performed extensively throughout the world
including concerts at prestigious places such as the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and
Carnegie Hall in New York. Hector Olivera’s expertise involves both the traditional pipe
organ and the electronic organ. Presently Olivera tours internationally playing some of
the world’s most magnificent pipe organs as well as his preferred electronic organ, the
Roland Atelier for which he continues to collaborate with its development.

Jonas Nordwall
A native of Portland, Mr. Nordwall received his Bachelor of Music Degree in 1970 from
the University of Portland studying with Arthur Hitchcock. Additional study was done
with Frederick Geoghegan, the noted English/Canadian organist. As a teenager, Jonas
had the privilege to study with Richard Ellsasser, one of the greatest virtuoso organist of
20th century.
Besides serving as Director of Music for the First United Methodist Church in Portland,
Oregon and as the Organist for the Oregon Symphony Orchestra.
He has been a featured recitalist for national conventions of the American Theatre Organ
Society and was Organist of the year for 1987.
Ric Iannone
Ric Iannone began playing the piano and accordion at the age of two and a half. By the
time he was seven, he was performing public and private engagements with his musi-
cian father. For more than 20 years Ric has performed and traveled extensively through-
out the United States and Europe, delighting audiences with his unique playing style
and music arrangements. He is equally comfortable playing the organ, piano or key-
board, as a concert artist and product demonstrator.
Rosemary Bailey
Rosemary Bailey began playing the piano at the age of five, performing strictly classical
music. She soon diversified and incorporated jazz and traditional popular styles in her
repertoire. By the time she was nine years old, Rosemary had begun touring throughout
the United states.
Concurrently, she maintained a weekly radio show, The Rosemary Bailey Show, broad-
cast from Chicago.
Rosemary has performed with many name artists including Victor Borge and Peter Nero
as well as the Duke Ellington Orchestra. She was also featured soloist with the Chicago
Symphony under the direction of Dr. Leon Stein.
At home on electronic as well as pipe organs, her concert schedule has taken her to such
countries as Japan, South Africa, Canada, Italy, Spain, England, Holland, Denmark, Por-
tugal, Germany and Australia.
Rosemary’s unique arrangements involve the marriage of her classical and popular mu-
sic background. Perfect pitch enables her to effortlessly field requests from the audience
and adds spontaneity to all her programs.
Rosemary has developed a following of musical devotees wherever she performs and
her numerous recordings are sought after by young and old alike.
