Glossary
Arrangement
This refers to changes that have been made in an original
tune, by adding a new accompaniment or by changing the
instruments used.
Automatic Accompaniment
Automatic Accompaniment is Automatic Accompaniment when
just a few keys in the lower section of the keyboard are
pressed to specify the chord.
Basic Chord
This refers to the most commonly used types of chord, which
are generally the following six types: major chords, minor
chords, minor seventh chords, minor seventh (5) chords,
dominant seventh chords, and diminished seventh chords.
Chord
Notes of two or more pitches sounded simultaneously. Chords
consisting of three notes are called “triads,” and are the most
basic type of chord.
Chorus
An effect that adds spaciousness and richness to the sound.
Ending
This is the last part of the accompaniment. When you stop
playing the Automatic Accompaniment, the ATELIER plays an
Ending appropriate for the Rhythm.
Glide
An effect that temporarily lowers the pitch and then gradually
returns it to normal.
Intro
This is the introductory portion of an Automatic
Accompaniment performance. When Automatic
Accompaniment begins, the ATELIER can add an appropriate
intro for each Rhythm.
Inversion
When the lowest note of a chord is the root, the chord is said
to be in “root position.” In contrast, forms of a chord in which
other notes are the lowest pitch are called “inversions.”
Mute
To silence a sound. The ATELIER provides a Track Mute
function that allows you to turn off the track button indicator of
a track on which music data has been recorded, so that the
corresponding track will temporarily be silenced.
Panel Settings
Settings such as sound selections, tempo, Rotary fast/slow.
Pitch Bend
An effect that smoothly raises or lowers the pitch.
Registration
A set of data that specifies the state of the instrument when
performing, including sounds and panel settings.
Reverb
An effect that simulates the reverberation of a room or concert
hall.
Root Note
The root note is the basis of a chord. All chords are built on a
root note, which is the part of the chord name given in
uppercase letters.
Rotary
An effect which simulates the modulation given to the sound
when a rotating speaker is used. The Rotary effect produces
two types of modulation: fast or slow.
Sound Generator
This is the section that produces the sound. The ATELIER series
uses a sound generator that is compatible with GM2/GS.
Split
A function which allows the keyboard to be divided into two
or more areas, and a different sound assigned to each area.
The point at which the keyboard is divided is called the “Split
Point.”
Sustain
An effect that adds a decay to each note. The ATELIER allows
sustain to be applied to the voices of the upper part, lower
part, and pedal part.
Vibrato
An effect that cyclically modulates the pitch.
Voice
The ATELIER is able to produce the sounds of various
instruments. These sounds are called “Voices.”
