Light-weight designed ATELIER organ for the great portability with top-end quality
It’s gorgeous and stately, yet the AT-900C is portable enough be taken on the road. The contemporary, streamlined cabinet design combines a natural wood finish with eye-catching silver accents.

New universe of organ sounds, expressive playing with Harmonic Bar
By combining footage sounds that differ in height from 1 to 16 feet, you can freely customize the tone. The new organ sound set includes theater organ voice with sparkling tremulant and thick, gorgeous pipe organ voices derived from acclaimed RODGERS digital classic organs. The new physical Harmonic Bars provide authentic, hands-on control for expressive organ playing. Furthermore, an individual solo bar is provided for the onboard Orchestral Voice, allowing organ sounds to be combined with Orchestral Voices for incredible textures.

Diverse Orchestral Voices
In addition to classic Orchestral Voices such as strings, brass, and plucked instruments, new expressive tones have been added, including Mood Strings, Harmonica, and Jazz Flute. By selecting a voice from the three parts, Organ, Symphonic and Orchestral, you can create layered textures for both the upper and lower keyboard.

Acoustic-instrument expression with Articulation Voices
Using new technology called Super NATURAL, the most subtle and expressive characteristics of acoustic instruments such as breath and articulation anomalies are faithfully provided. This technology can be applied to the four Articulation Voices: Violin, Trombone, Cello, and Tenor Sax. In addition, you can control vibrato, pizzicato, portamento, and other expressive nuances to get just the sound you want.

Easy-to-use control panel based on traditional organ-playing principles
With its simple panel layout, AT-900C has been designed with priority given to the real-time needs of playing. Buttons are color coded according to function. Selection of sounds, voice layering, and balance changes, its design enables complete freedom of expression, with all settings quickly changeable in real time.

Creative potentiality with expressive Lower keyboard and Pedal board
The lower keyboard uses a Waterfall keyboard that does not catch the fingers, and is well suited for glissandi and other styles of playing. It is able to program for solo voices, bass parts, or even divide it into four parts using the Split function: Solo, Lower, Bass, and Manual Percussion. With a wide range of 76 keys, "Initial Touch,” and damper pedaling, full-fledged piano playing is also possible. The built-in pedal board can be used for harmonic playing found in pipe-organ music, and even for layering two different sounds.

Large color LCD monitor with touch panel featuring DigiScore™
To make operations even easier, AT-900C features a larger color touch-panel LCD with a quick-start guide built in. The newly expanded screen enables often-used menu icons to be always shown on the monitor, which further simplifies navigation and operation. Commercially available SMF music data and pre-recorded performance data are displayed onscreen in musical notation as well as lyrics, with advanced DigiScore technology.

Convenient Registration and Music Assistant functions
For ease of use during performance, your favorite voice and rhythm selections, as well as other panel settings, can be instantly recalled from internal memory or USB memory key. From keyword categories you can select Quick Registrations compiled by Hector Olivera and other internationally acclaimed organists. Whenever you want to play "Blue Moon," "Georgia," "Summer time," or other favorites, simply select the style image and conditions of the song you wish to play, and the optimal rhythm and voice settings can be easily retrieved.

Connect external devices for creative expansion

Furthermore, if you connect an iPod or MP3 player to the Roland Audio-Visual Port, you can employ the Center Cancel function to minimize vocals, or use the Pitch Change function to transpose the key of your pre-recorded music to your favorite keys.
