Selecting and Playing Sounds

Selecting and Playing Sounds

You can play the sounds of various instruments on the ATELIER. These sounds
are called “Voices.”

The ATELIER has two manual keyboards and a pedalboard.
From top to bottom these are called the “Upper Keyboard,” “Lower
Keyboard,” and “Pedalboard.”

Four parts, “Organ,” “Symphonic,” “Orchestral,” and “Vintage Organ” are
assigned to the Upper and Lower keyboards, respectively, and you can select
one voice from each part. Plus, with the addition of the “Solo” part voice, you
can have up to five voices playing simultaneously (the Solo voice can be
played in either the Upper or Lower keyboard).
The Pedalboard has three parts: “Pedal Organ,” “Pedal Orchestral,”, and
“Vintage Organ.” You can select one voice for each part, meaning that it is
possible to play up to three voices simultaneously.
