Owner's Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Roland C-190 Portable Organ. The C-190 is a new organ with simulated two-manual func-
tionality designed for religious congregations and all other occasions that call for high-quality organ or orchestral
music in a portable instrument.
Simultaneous use of organ and orchestral sounds
The C-190 comes with the finest organ sounds Roland has to offer. On top of that, it also features excellent instrument
sounds that can be used alongside the organ section.
You can "split" the 76-note keyboard into two sections ("divisions") and play the C-190 like a two-manual organ.
Bass and Manual parts
Though a single-keyboard instrument, the C-190 allows you to play monophonic bass organ parts and polyphonic
instrument sounds. The PEDAL part usually plays a monophonic bass line that doubles the lowest note you play on the
keyboard. You can, however, connect an optional MIDI pedal unit to the C-190 and play the PEDAL section polyphoni-
cally using your feet.
Record your own performances
The C-190 makes it easy to record your own performances.
Before using this instrument, carefully read the section on the next page. It provides important information concerning
the proper operation of the C-190.
To get the most out of the C-190 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this
Owner's Manual thoroughly.
To avoid confusion, let's agree to use the word "button" for all keys on the front panel, and only use "key" when refer-
ring to the C-190's keyboard.
