Expanded Realistic Rhythm Section
One of the greatest features on the American Classic Series is the
wide range of rhythms and musical genres it puts at
your fingertips. The greatly expanded built-in rhythm
section is sorted into categories, and provides numerous
rhythms for each genre or style. Best of all, the
rhythms incorporate actual drum and percussion
phrases recorded by professional
drummers, so the
nuance, timing and stress
are all astonishingly alive
and real.
Style Orchestrator
The Style Orchestrator buttons let you instantly change
the style of the automatic accompaniment to one of four
arrangement variations. From simple to elaborate, these
arrangements add an exciting
new level of real-time expression
to your performance.
Rhythm Customize
The new Rhythm Customize feature lets you edit
many of the internal rhythm patterns. You can change
the drum voice, add a cymbal to the beat, adjust the
timing, and make other
edits to create your own
unique rhythm patterns.
Use the onboard floppy
disk drive to save your
original pattern for use
on any Atelier organ.
Convenient Rhythm Search Function
With the Rhythm Search
function, finding the right
rhythm is a breeze. You
can search using your
choice of name, beat,
tempo, genre or group to
quickly select the ideal
rhythm for the style of music you are playing.
One Touch Program
- New One Touch Program screen
- 4 individual titles are named to each One Touch Program

- New One Touch Program settings for new Music Styles
Exquisite Traditional Organ Sounds
The AT-80SL offers a rich variety of stunning
jazz organ, pipe organ, and especially theater organ
sounds that are better and more powerful than ever.
Use the Digital Harmonic Bar function on the
touch screen to freely adjust the drawbar levels and
volume of each footage, for an expanded number of
sound combinations. In addition, you can choose
from a range of highly
customizable organ
effects such as Reverb,
Rotary, Sustain, and
more. This is the way
an organ should sound!
Hundreds of Voices for World Music
In addition to fabulous organ sound, the AT-80SL
also offers hundreds of high-quality, realistic instrument
voices from around the world and across the
centuries. There are many more strings, accordion,
and choir variations, as well as exciting new traditional
instrument sounds to expand
your musical expression. Of course, you can combine
these voices with organ sounds to create an almost
limitless repertoire of performance options.
Outstanding Piano Performance
The AT-80SL
has an extended 76-note lower
manual and incredible stereosampled
grand piano sounds, for
authentic piano performance.
There is also a damper pedal that
provides the same effect and expression as an
acoustic piano. The lower manual has a Split function
too, in case you want to add different instrument
sounds to your piano playing.
Powerful Speakers and Sound System
The AT-80SL’s sounds are delivered with awesome
power and resonance through multiple fullrange
speakers. A mighty 30 cm woofer gives you
truly thunderous bass. Models with a woofer also
feature the RSS (Roland Sound Space) Reverb audio
enhancement system, which produces a room-filling,
cathedral-like ambience.
Harmony Intelligence
The Harmony Intelligence feature creates gorgeous
harmony based on the chords you play on the lower
manual. Choose from a wide array of harmony
types, including Strings, Hymn, Harp, Jazz Scat, Big
Band, and more. Ensemble-type performances have
never sounded this great!
Simple, Easy Panel Layout
All models in the Atelier series share the same fundamental
panel design and simple, color-coded layout,
so you can perform the same basic operations
when playing any AT-Series organ. It’s so easy to
navigate! The panel design — the result of consultation
with professional players from around the
world — also helps ensure that operation is simple
for beginners to learn and remember.
Large Color LCD Touch Screen
The AT-80SL’ large, full-color LCD touch
screen makes playing the organ more effortless and
enjoyable than ever before. The simpler screen layout
and new color scheme let you perform the same
operations with fewer steps, making it easier to
select instrument voices for your performance, to
access and control rhythm, reverb, split point, and
other panel settings onscreen, and to switch to the
notation display at the touch of a finger. You can
also jump smoothly between Upper, Lower, and
Pedal tone edit screens. Virtually every onboard
function can be accessed and adjusted using the
touch screen, for a single point of control. It’s
easy, intuitive, and fun.
Other Features
- New Factory Registration set (12 settings)
- American Flag as the default Main Background screen
- “American Classic” ID badge
More Onscreen Features
With the simplified, color-coded LCD touch
screen, the Composer, Track Mute, and other
functions are easier to use. You can play along
with commercially available or downloaded
Standard MIDI Files and save the results, or mute
a specific voice or part right on the screen, and
play the solo part yourself. The series also features
Roland’s famous DigiScore®, which lets you display
the notation of Standard MIDI Files or your
own recorded songs onscreen. It’s loads of fun.
Conveniently Located Registration Buttons
Once you’ve created the ideal voice, rhythm, and
panel settings, you can save them immediately with
the twelve registration buttons conveniently located
between the upper and lower manuals. Using a floppy
disk, you can name and store up to 99 sets of
registration data, each consisting of twelve registrations,
for more than a thousand different variations!
All registrations can be called up instantly
while playing, to customize your settings and
expand your repertoire and ensemble possibilities
with the mere touch of a button.
Quick Registration for Professional Sound
Professional Sound
The Quick Registration feature lets you effortlessly
select from an extensive library of registration presets
created by world-renowned professional organists
to cover a wide range of genres. The Quick
Registrations can also be

how to select and layer
sounds when creating your
own registrations. Watch
how quickly your repertoire
grows.
