Helpful Quick Guide
The intuitive onscreen Quick Guide gives
you fast operational guidance for all the
AT-45’s formidable features and functions,
so you can always enjoy the full potential
of your ATELIER organ.
The Fine Organ Sounds of Top
ATELIER Models
The AT-45 features all the same great new authentic organ sounds as the
top ATELIER models, including jazzy combo organ, gorgeous pipe organ,
and theater organ sounds that will satisfy every organ lover. Of course, it
also offers a wide collection of instrument, choir, and fun human voice
sounds, such as jazz scat, to expand your performance possibilities.
Exceptional Piano Performance
The AT-45’s lower manual is an extended 64-note keyboard, and begins
with the Anote just like a piano. There is also
a damper pedal for more acoustic piano-like
performance. The lower manual has a Split
function, too, so you can play two different
instrument sounds at the same time.
Compatible with Any ATELIER Organ
With the built-in floppy disk drive, you can exchange data with other
AT-Series models, so you can immediately use registrations and music
files created on any ATELIER organ.
With the AT-45 you get a superb organ sound that starts as soon as
the power is turned on. The high-performance sound system offers
plenty of volume and rich resonance to immerse your environment,
be it large or small. Dozens of exciting realtime performance
features from high-end ATELIER models are built into the AT-45,
including the same basic operation, panel layout, and console
buttons. And it’s all housed in a luxurious mahogany cabinet with
a sliding, roll-top manual cover.
Powerful Playback and Rich Reverb
Two 25 cm full-range speakers in a speaker box faithfully deliver the
resonant bass sounds that are essential to dynamic organ performance,
while the high-quality reverb creates an incredible room-filling ambience.
You’ll think you’re playing in a cathedral.
Top-Class Features and Playing Possibilities
The AT-45 is the first organ in its class to feature a large, full-color
LCD touch screen just like the top ATELIER models. Now even
more realtime performance options are at your fingertips.
Onscreen Panel Settings

You can display current voice, reverb, and
other panel settings onscreen, and adjust them
easily at the touch of a finger. Settings can be
saved with the eight registration buttons
conveniently located between the upper and
lower manuals. Just press a button to instantly
