• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a
power supply noise filter between this unit and the
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used

Main Features
We want to take a moment to thank you for your purchase of the Roland AT-15 “Atelier Series”
Organ.
The AT-15 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 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
Piano is indispensable to the performance of contemporary music. On the ATELIER series, the
lower keyboard features an expanded range that gives you the expressive power 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
accompaniment patterns) are built in, allowing you to enjoy an international range of
performances.
❍Make Full Use of Music Files
Compatible with GM2, the world standard in SMF music files, and equipped with its own floppy
disk drive, the AT-15 brings you access to the wealth of SMF music files available on the market.
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
■ Main Features
❍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.
❍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 a full complement of organ tones, the AT-15 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.
❍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.
❍Registration Buttons
The AT-15 features eight highly visible and intuitive buttons for calling up registrations, which
allow you to switch among tone and rhythm settings instantly. Furthermore, these are located
between the upper and lower manuals for better access when performing in real time.
❍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.
❍High-Quality Reverb
In addition to often-used “HALL” and “ROOM” type reverbs, the AT-15 also includes “LARGE
CHURCH” and “CATHEDRAL” reverb settings, which feature extremely long reverberation
times and can be used to add enormous presence to your organ performances.

generator, but you can also set the “MIDI IN Mode”
parameter (p. 94) 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-15 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-15 plays an
Ending appropriate for the Rhythm.
Voice
Glide
The AT-15 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-15 plays an intro ideally suited
to each Rhythm when it starts playing the Automatic Accom-
paniment.
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-15 provides a Track Mute
function that allows you to turn off the Track Mute 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.
About ATELIER Series Sound
Generator
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.
XGlite
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General
MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG
tone generation format. You can play back any XG music
files using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind
that some music files may play back differently compared to
the original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters
and effects.
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

the organ, piano, or electronic keyboard. Around the world, his concerts generate 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 occasion.
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.

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 musician father. For more than
20 years Ric has performed and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe, de-
lighting audiences with his unique playing style and music arrangements. He is equally comfort-
able playing the organ, piano or keyboard, 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, broadcast 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, Portugal, Germany and
Australia.
Rosemary’s unique arrangements involve the marriage of her classical and popular music back-
ground. Perfect pitch enables her to effortlessly field requests from the audience and adds sponta-
neity to all her programs.
Rosemary has developed a following of musical devotees wherever she performs and her numer-
ous recordings are sought after by young and old alike.
