Thank you for purchasing a Roland C-190 Portable Organ. The C-190 is a new organ with simulated two-manual functionality designed for religious congregations and all other occasions that call for high-quality organ or orchestral music in a portable instrument.

Simultaneous use of organ and orchestral sounds

The C-190 comes with the finest organ sounds Roland has to offer. On top of that, it also features excellent instrument sounds that can be used alongside the organ section.

You can “split” the 76-note keyboard into two sections (“divisions”) and play the C-190 like a two-manual organ.

Bass and Manual parts

Though a single-keyboard instrument, the C-190 allows you to play monophonic bass organ parts and polyphonic instrument sounds. The PEDAL part usually plays a monophonic bass line that doubles the lowest note you play on the keyboard. You can, however, connect an optional MIDI pedal unit to the C-190 and play the PEDAL section polyphoni- cally using your feet.

Record your own performances

The C-190 makes it easy to record your own performances.

Before using this instrument, carefully read the section on the next page. It provides important information concerning the proper operation of the C-190.

To get the most out of the C-190 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this Owner’s Manual thoroughly.

To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and only use “key” when referring to the C-190’s keyboard.
