Roland Atelier
Posted: 27 Jul 2018 23:36
Do you have the Roland Atelier AT-80SL or AT-800SL organ?
This is the AT-30 organ, but it gives a good idea of how the Atelier sounds, and he plays with several 'Styles' .. which is what I want to ask about.
You can use a Rhythm; and you can use a backing Style. Each of these you can have ON or OFF, and control the Volumes. So if you just want drums to accompany you then you can do this.
What I want to know is ....
With Yamaha keyboards and organs, the backing Style is made up of PARTS eg. RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2. Do Roland have the same system? On the Yamaha Keyboards (Tyros, Genos) and on the AR organ you can turn any of these 'PARTS' to OFF so you don't hear them. A thing you would want to do if the overall Style is too 'busy', and then maybe bring them in as you get towards the end of the song and want to build up the backing.
Am I correct in saying that on the Roland Atelier you can't do this? It's either all the 'parts' ON, or the whole Style OFF ???
Can anybody answer this question please?
Also, on the AR one can alter the 'balance' between the various PARTS (and even change the instruments being used for the backings),but have to do this 'on screen'. On the Tyros and Genos there are 'sliders' so you can control the balance between the PARTS in real time. Can you alter the balance of the PARTS on a Roland Atelier ???
