Th e ultimate organ sound — delicate and expressive.
At the heart of C-330/C-380 is Roland's newly developed sound
module that faithfully reproduces the elements that make up the tone
of acoustic pipes, including air pressure sent from the wind chest, slight
variations in pitch that create full-bodied harmonies, and undulations
produced by pipes as they generate sound. Creates natural and real
tones. Enables phrasings that have been diffi cult to reproduce in the
past, such as variations in how attack and decay respond to subtle
diff erences in touch. Dramatically more expressive.
Bring the sound of cathedrals to your living room with
Roland's proprietary RSS ambience system.
Th e rich, full tone of pipe organs is created by sounds reverberating
inside a building. Such tone is generated by a powerful musical
instrument, of which the room itself is a part. Th is is what Roland's
RSS* ambience system reproduces. Users simply defi ne the location, or
parameters such as wall material, to create the realistic reverberations of
a cathedral, stone church, or concert hall.

Keyboard touch is true to a real pipe organ.
Th e keyboard faithfully reproduces the key touch of tracker-actions that
are widely used in pipe organs. Capable of conveying the subtlest nuances
created by diff erences in touch, the keyboard perfectly responds to the
performers' emotions and sensitivities. Th e keyboard even reproduces the
resistance from air pressure that occurs immediately before the pallet opens
when a key is pressed, as well as the releasing sensation when it opens.
What is a tracker-action?
It is a type of keyboard action that was developed in the Baroque period. This mechanism
makes use of the principle of leverage, pulling a thin wooden rod (tracker) when a key is
pressed down, thereby opening the pallet (valve) to send air into the pipe. This action has
been popular among organists for its quick and sensitive responsiveness, and is currently
the primary type of action in organ keyboards in many countries.

Roland Organ Classic Series Edited By Hector Olivera
The Roland Organ Classic Series consists of sheet music collections of
the great masterworks for organ. The first three books include DVDs that
demonstrate the playing techniques of the editor himself. The video reveals
such useful details as the performer's fingering, timing and method of
changing registrations, making this a revolutionary new way for students to
observe and learn. Ceremonial Masterworks Vol. 1–4 do not contain DVDs.
Each book in this valuable series comes with registration data so the player
can select the ideal sounds and combinations for each song.
performances. Select a division of your choice, mute or play back that
division, or play the part back as a guide note using a discreet tone.
For example, when practicing, you can fi rst listen to the instrument
play back just the Pedal line of the pre-installed piece. Next, you can
have the organ play the Manual I and Manual II parts while you play
the pedalboard, with the organ supplying quiet guide notes for the
part you're playing. You can also record a sample piece performed by
your teacher onto USB memory and listen to it at home to your heart's
content. All you need is imagination to expand the possibilities of how
you practice.
In addition to the general memory pistons, C-380 comes with dedicated
Manual I/Manual II memory pistons.
For better playability, C-380 has 3 coupler pistons in addition to the
coupler tablets. Just touch "PREV" or "NEXT" to effortlessly move from
one registration setting to another. Also, the I/P ENCLOSED piston allows
you to easily expand control of the expression pedal from just Manual II
to all divisions.
The Roland Classic Organ Data Series offers great value to all customers who
desire to play classical organ music.
