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.
