Connecting with External Devices

The following become possible once you connect a USB cable

(available separately) between the USB connector located to

the lower left of the ATELIER and the USB connector of your

computer.

• You can use the ATELIER to play sounds from SMF music

files played back with MIDI software.

• By exchanging MIDI data with sequencer software, you

can save songs recorded with the ATELIER to your

computer, and enjoy a variety of musical control and

editing features.

Connect the ATELIER to your computer as shown below.

* Refer to the Roland website for system requirements.

If connection to your computer is

unsuccessful...

Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to connect

the ATELIER to your computer. However, if some problem

occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the Roland

original driver may solve the problem. For details on

downloading and installing the Roland original driver, refer to

the Roland website.

Specify the USB driver you want to use, and then install the

driver.
