* Use stereo headphones. For the C-380 * Roland organs feature Phones jacks. These allow you to play without having to worry about bothering others around you, even at night. However, you should be careful that you don’t disturb your neighbors, since floors and walls can too easily transmit vibrations (especially vibrations from the pedalboard).
Note on using USB memory The USB connector located at the bottom center of the organ is a The USB connector holder of the C-380 will rotate 90 degrees to left servicing connector for purposes such as maintenance. Do not or right.
Before You Start Playing About the Display Return to the Main Screen In order to perform an operation such as changing the organ’s settings, you’ll need to start by returning to the main screen. Contents of the Main Screen Press the [Value/Exit Menu] knob a number of times. Immediately after you turn on the power, the following “main screen”...
This Roland organ has several built-in demo songs. For more information of the built-in demo songs, refer to “List of * No data for the music that is played will be output from MIDI OUT Preset Song/Demo Song”...
Performing Playing Various Sounds Selecting Stops (sounds) By pressing the sound tablets you can play a variety of pipe organ sounds. The sounds assigned to the tablets are called “stops.” The sound tablets are organized into groups called “divisions.” These tablets are called “division tablets.” If the indicator of a division tablet is lit, you’ll be able to play the corresponding stop.
Performing Selecting a Sound Variation (Voice Palette) fig.stop-up-ver.eps Press the lower part of a tablet From the main screen, press the lower part of a division tablet. The “Voice Palette” screen will appear, showing the variation of the selected stop. fig.LCD016.eps * If the indicator blinks momentarily when you press the tablet, a variation is already selected for the stop.
In the MAN I division, press the lower part of the division coupler [II/I] tablet. The indicator will light, and the coupler will be on. On the C-380, you can also turn on the coupler by pressing the [II/I] piston to make it light. Play the lower keyboard.
Performing Using the Melody Coupler When you use the melody coupler, the highest note you finger on the lower keyboard will also be sounded by the stops selected in the MAN II division. This function allows you to simultaneously play accompaniment and solo registrations by fingering a single manual.
Performing Using the Bass Coupler The bass coupler allows you to layer the sound of a PEDAL division onto the lowest note you’re fingering on the lower keyboard. Press the bass coupler [BASS] piston. When the bass coupler is on, the piston’s indicator will light. Press the piston once again to turn off the indicator.
Performing Adjusting the Volume and Reverberation You can adjust the volume or reverberation that is heard when you play the keyboards or when you play back a song from internal memory or USB memory. When you’re in the main screen, turning any of the following knobs will cause the “VOLUME” screen to appear for a while. fig.Volume-Tone.eps Volume of “Volume”...
Performing Changing the Type of Reverberation By applying reverberation you can obtain the acoustic characteristics of a performance in a concert hall. Changing the Room Type By changing the type of reverberation you can experience the sensation of performing in a variety of locations. From the main screen, press the [Select/Menu] knob.
Performing Changing the Wall Type You can make additional changes to the reverberation by changing the wall type (the material out of which the wall is constructed). From the main screen, press the [Select/Menu] knob. Turn the [Select/Menu] knob to select “4 Room Modeling.” fig.LCD005.eps Press the [Select/Menu] knob to access the “Room Modeling”...
Performing Adding Soft Vibrato (Tremulant) The tremulant effect adds vibrato (cyclic modulation) to the sound. Use this when you want to add an expressive feel to a solo or small ensemble performance. This is often used on compositions of the romantic era, gospel, and music for worship services.
Performing Changing the Tuning (Temperament) Historical styles of music such as baroque can be played in the tunings that were used during that time. Most works today are composed with the assumption that they will be played in equal temperament (the most common temperament used today).
Performing Using historical temperaments By using a historical temperament when playing a composition suited for it, the beauty and tension of that work can be brought out even more greatly. In particular, when playing a work that uses a modulation-capable temperament and includes modulation, the sonority of the chords will change, adding subtle changes in the tonal character as the composition progresses.
Performing Tuning to Match the Pitch of Another Instrument When playing in an ensemble with another instrument, you can adjust the organ’s reference pitch to the other instrument. The reference pitch is usually expressed as the pitch of the middle “A” note. By adjusting the “Tuning”...
Performing Transposing the Key The transpose function lets you shift the pitch in semitone steps without changing the keys you play on the keyboard. For example, if a song is written in a difficult key that contains numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you could use this setting to play the song in an easier key.
Performing Using the Expression Pedal to Adjust the Volume of the Organ You can use the expression pedal to adjust the volume of the organ. Depressing the expression pedal will increase the volume, while releasing it will reduce the volume. fig.ex-pedal.eps Decrease the volume Increase the volume...
About the C-380’s MAN I & PEDAL enclosed piston The C-380 has a MAN I & PEDAL enclosed piston; when you press this piston to turn it on, you’ll be able to use the expression pedal to adjust the volume of the MAN I division (lower keyboard) and PEDAL division (pedalboard).
Performing Setting the Minimum Volume of the Expression Pedal You can adjust the minimum volume that will be in effect when the expression pedal is at the minimum position. From the main screen, press the [Select/Menu] knob. Turn the [Select/Menu] knob to select “8 Exp. Pedal.” fig.LCD009.eps Press the [Select/Menu] knob to access the “Exp.
It will switch to the adjacent general memory piston. Each time you press the kick switch, the general memory piston will switch to the next higher number. This has the same function as the C-380’s [PREV] piston. PREV It will switch to the adjacent general memory piston. Each time you press the kick switch, the general memory piston will switch to the next lower number.
The MAN I division and MAN II division each have five division memory pistons, and each piston stores one registration. In the case of the C-380, a bank contains not only the five general memory pistons 1–5, but also the MAN I division’s memory pistons 1–5 and the MAN II division’s memory pistons 1–5.
Recalling a Registration Press one of the general memory pistons or division memory pistons (C-380 only). • If you press one of the general memory [1]–[5] pistons, the state of the stops for all divisions, the couplers, and the tremulant settings stored at that piston will be recalled.
Storing a Combination of Stops Using Memory Banks The state of the general memory [1]–[5] pistons and the division memory [1]–[5] pistons (C-380 only) can be stored as a “memory bank.” You can use twenty memory banks (M01–M20). This allows you to store a total of one hundred registrations (5 x 20).
Even if you press the [NEXT] piston after arriving at number 5 of memory bank M20, you will stay at memory bank M20 number 5. You can also assign the function of the [NEXT] piston, or the [PREV] piston (C-380 only) to a kick switch so that you can use your foot to switch between registrations (p. 45).
Practicing Along with a Preset Song or Performance Data You can practice by playing along with preset songs (demo songs) that are built into the organ, or with performance data that you’ve recorded from your own playing (p. 56). • You can mute (silence) the performance of a specific division (p. 52). •...
