Owner’s Manual

C-190

ENGLISH ENGLISH

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.

C-190

Portable Organ

• Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions

below, and the Owner’s Manual.

.................................................................................................

• Do not open (or modify in any way) the instrument, and

avoid damaging the supplied adapter.

.................................................................................................

• Do not attempt to repair the instrument, or replace parts

within it. Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest

Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distribu-

tor, as listed on the “Information” page.

.................................................................................................

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight

in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of

heat-generating equipment); or are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

• Humid; or are

• Exposed to rain; or are

• Dusty; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration.

.................................................................................................

• Be sure to use only the adapter supplied with the instru-

ment. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation

matches the input voltage specified on the name plate.

.................................................................................................

• Avoid damaging the adapter’s cord. Do not bend it exces-

sively, step on it, place heavy objects on it, etc. A dam-

aged cord can easily become a shock or fire hazard. Do

not use the adapter when it shows clear signs of damage.

.................................................................................................

• This instrument may be capable of producing sound lev-

els that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not

operate for a long period of time at a high volume level,

or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any

hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immedi-

ately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

.................................................................................................

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins,

pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to

penetrate the instrument.

................................................................................................

• Immediately turn the power off, remove the adapter

from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer,

the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized

Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page

when:

• The the adapter has been damaged; or

• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto

the instrument; or

• The instrument has been exposed to rain (or otherwise

has become wet); or

• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhib-

its a marked change in performance.

................................................................................................

• In households with small children, an adult should pro-

vide supervision until the child is capable of following all

the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

................................................................................................

• Protect the unit from strong impact.

Do not drop it!

................................................................................................

• Do not force instrument to share an outlet with an

unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially

careful when using extension cords—the total power

used by all devices you have connected to the extension

cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/

amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can

cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventu-

ally melt through.

................................................................................................

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with

your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an

authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Informa-

tion” page.

................................................................................................

C-190

Portable Organ

1. Panel descriptions

Front panel

VOLUME slider

This slider allows you to increase or decrease the vol-

ume of all sections (PEDAL, MANUAL I and

MANUAL II).

PEDAL slider

This slider controls the volume of the PEDAL part (see

p. 9).

POWER SWITCH button

Press this button once to switch the C-190 on. Press

it again to switch the C-190 off.

PEDAL tilt tabs

These tabs allow you to switch on/off the corre-

sponding organ bass sound (SUB BASS, OCTAVE BASS

or BOMBARDE) or orchestral bass tone (ACC BASS,

STRINGED or CELLO).

MANUAL I slider

This slider controls the volume of the MANUAL I sec-

tion (see p. 9).

MANUAL I tilt tabs

When the ORCHESTRA button does

not

light, these

tabs allow you to switch the corresponding organ

registers on and off. You can activate all registers if

you like.

When the ORCHESTRA button lights, you can press

one of these to select the orchestral sound whose

name is printed below the tabs.

II/I tab (“Coupler”)

The C-190 provides two divisions: “MANUAL I” and

“MANUAL II”. This tab allows you to specify whether

those two divisions are to be played simultaneously

(by the same keys) or via separate key ranges.

TRANSPOSE button

Use this button to transpose the keyboard. This

allows you to go on playing in your favorite key,

while the notes you play are sounded in another key.

See p. 17.

TUNE button

At first, the C-190 is tuned like any electronic musical

instrument, with the A4= 440Hz. As long as you do

not change that setting, this button doesn’t light.

You can change the tuning frequency, however, and

save your setting to the global area.

UP/DOWN buttons

These buttons allow you to change settings (like the

tuning value or the reverb setting, for example). They

are usually assigned to the reverb effect.

ORCHESTRA button

Press this button if you want to select the C-190’s

orchestral sounds. One of those sounds can be added

to the organ registration in effect. See p. 15.

SPLIT/SET button

This button has two functions: it allows you to shift

the split point between MANUAL I and MANUAL II to

a different note (when the

[II/I]

tab is off) and to save

your settings to one of the eight memories (2 banks x

4 locations). See pages 12 and 19.

MEMORY buttons (M 1/2, 1~4, 0)

Your C-190 comes with four memories and two

banks (for a total of eight memories) that can be

accessed via the

[M1/2]

and

[1]

[4]

buttons. Press the

[0]

button to cancel the settings of the currently

selected memory and mute all registers and orches-

tral sounds.

Front panel

C-190 Portable Organ

MANUAL II tilt tabs

These tabs allow you to add a second voice to the

notes you are playing using the MANUAL I division (if

the

[II/I]

indicator lights) or to play a separate sound in

the right half, which then behaves like a second man-

ual (see p. 12).

Note:

The volume of the MANUAL II division can only be set

with an optional expression pedal. But since it is the only sec-

tion that doesn’t have a separate volume control, you can bal-

ance its level by changing the volume of the other divisions.

REC button

Your C-190 also contains a digital recording function.

Press this button to select the record standby mode.

(Then press

[PLAY]

to start recording.) There are four

song memories. See p. 18.

PLAY button

The function of this button depends on the REC indi-

cator: if it flashes, pressing [PLAY] starts the record-

ing of a new song. If the REC indicator is off, [PLAY]

allows you to listen to a previously recorded song.

By pressing it simultaneously with the [REC] button,

you activate the C-190’s demo mode (see p. 10).

REVERB button

Press this button to switch the digital reverb effect

on (indicator lights) or off. See p. 16.

WINDCHEST PANNING button

Press this button to access a function that allows you

to set the distribution of the organ notes in the ste-

reo image. There are four possible settings (see the

indicators and icons above this button), and each

organ voice can be assigned the preferred stereo dis-

tribution. See page 20.

O P Q R

Panel descriptions

C-190 Portable Organ

Rear panel

OUTPUT R, L/MONO sockets

The C-190 boasts an excellent internal stereo ampli-

fier and speaker system and so doesn’t require an

external amplification. There may be times, however,

when you need to use the public address system of

the hall or church where you are performing – or you

may want to record the C-190’s sound without back-

ground noises. In those cases, use these sockets.

EXP/SUST socket

This is where you can connect an optional DP-2,

DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch that allows you to

hold the notes you are playing on the keyboard. The

sustain function is only available for the orchestral

sounds.

Alternatively, you can connect an optional Roland

EV-5 or FV-300L pedal to this socket that can be used

for setting the MANUAL II division’s volume.

MIDI sockets (PEDAL IN, IN, OUT)

Use these connectors for transmitting (OUT) and

receiving (IN) MIDI messages to/from other instru-

ments.

The PEDAL IN socket allows you to connect an

optional Roland MIDI pedal unit (PK-5A, PK-25 or

PK-7) so as to play the bass section (called “PEDAL”)

with your feet. If you connect a pedal unit here, the

PEDAL section becomes polyphonic.

Cord hook

After connecting the adapter cable, wind it around

the cord hook to the right of the socket to prevent

accidental power disruptions.

DC IN connector

This where you need to connect the supplied PSB-4U

adapter. If it is damaged or out of order, be sure to

replace it with the same PSB-4U model. Do not use

other adapters as these may damage your C-190

beyond repair.

POWER SWITCH button

Press this button once to switch the C-190 on. Press

it again to switch the C-190 off.

Headphone sockets

The C-190 features two headphone sockets, allowing two peo-

ple to listen through headphones simultaneously, which is use-

ful for lessons. Using headphones allows you to play without

bothering others around you, even at night. By connecting a

jack to one of these sockets, you switch off the C-190’s speak-

ers.

For optimum sound quality, be sure to use optional Roland

RH-25, RH-50 or RH-200 headphones.

Connecting the adapter

C-190 Portable Organ

2. Getting started

Connecting the adapter

Note:

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to the speakers or

other devices, always turn down the volume and switch off all

devices before making any connections.

(1) Connect the supplied PSB-4U adapter to the DC IN

socket on the rear panel of the C-190.

(2) Connect the other end to an AC outlet.

Turning the power on and off

Your C-190 is fitted with an amplifier and speakers so

that you do not need additional devices.

(1) Turn the volume all the way down.

(2) Press the

[POWER¥SWITCH]

button on the rear

panel to turn on the power.

Press at least one tilt tab, because all sounds will be

off immediately after switching on the C-190. Adjust

the volume to your liking.

Note:

Your C-190 is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief

interval after power up is required before it will operate nor-

mally.

Turning off the power

(1) Set the

[VOLUME]

slider to the minimum position.

(2) Press the

[POWER¥SWITCH]

button to turn off the

power.

Adjusting the volume

The C-190 has three sliders. The

[VOLUME]

slider is used

to change the global volume. The

[PEDAL]

slider allows

you to set the level of the bass sounds.

Using the

[PEDAL]

and

[MANUAL¥I]

sliders should allow

you to create the right balance – even when using the

MANUAL II section.

By purchasing an optional EV-5, EV-7 or BOSS FV-300L

expression pedal, which you connect to the EXP/SUST

socket, you can also set the MANUAL II division’s vol-

ume (and/or use the pedal for swelling effects).

Connecting headphones (sold

separately)

The C-190 features two headphone jacks. This allows

two people to listen through headphones simulta-

neously, making it very useful for lessons. Using head-

phones allows you to play without bothering others

around you, even at night.

(1) Turn the volume all the way down.

(2) Plug a pair of headphones (Roland RH-25, RH-50,

RH-200) into a PHONES socket to the left of the

C-190’s keyboard.

(3) Adjust the volume.

By connecting headphones to the C-190, you switch

off its speakers, which is ideal for playing or practis-

ing without disturbing others.

Note:

Be sure to use stereo headphones.

Precautions to take when using headphones

To avoid damaging or severing the headphone cord, be

sure to handle the headphones by holding the phones

themselves, and grasping the plug rather than the cord

when pulling the headphone plug.

• Connecting the headphones when the volume of

connected equipment is turned up may result in

damage to the headphones. Be sure to turn down the

volume before connecting headphones.

C-190 Portable Organ

3. Playing organ music

The C-190 features two sections that can be used simultaneously: an organ section and an orchestral section. Let us

begin with the organ section.

Registering the MANUAL I division

When the ORCHESTRA button doesn’t light, the white

tilt tabs serve the same purpose as the stops on a

church organ: they allow you to decide which ranks

should be audible. Be sure to press at least one tilt tab.

Otherwise, you won’t hear anything.

(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.

(2) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL I tilt tab to

activate the assigned register.

If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding reg-

ister is audible. You can activate as many registers as

you like.

(3) If necessary, change the volume of the MANUAL I

division using its slider (to the left of the tilt tabs).

(4) Press the upper part of a tilt tab whose indicator

lights to switch that stop back off again.

Note: The SUSTAIN function is not available for organ stops.

An optional footswitch connected to the EXP/SUS socket thus

doesn’t allow you to hold the notes you are playing.

Adding the MANUAL II division

The C-190 provides a MANUAL II division that can be

added to the MANUAL I division. (You can also play via

separate keys, see below.)

When active, the MANUAL II division performs the

function of the Swell manual on a church organ, while

the MANUAL I section replaces the Great section.

Let us first look at how to couple those two sections,

which means that they are played together.

(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.

(2) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL

I section.

Its indicator lights to signal that you can now add a

second division to the MANUAL I registration. This

simulates the coupling of two manuals on a church

organ.

(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to

activate the assigned register.

If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding reg-

ister is audible. You can activate as many registers as

you like.

It is also possible to switch off all MANUAL I registers

(except [II/I]) and only use one or several MANUAL II

registers to simulate a church organ’s Swell manual.

(4) Press the upper part of a tilt tab whose indicator

lights to switch that stop back off again.

Note: The SUSTAIN function is not available for organ stops.

An optional footswitch connected to the EXP/SUS socket thus

doesn’t allow you to hold the notes you are playing.

Note: The [TREMULANT] register cannot be used by itself. It

must be combined with at least one other MANUAL II register.

It has no effect on the PEDAL or MANUAL I sounds.

Playing the MANUAL I and II

divisions via separate keys

As stated above, you can also assign the MANUAL I sec-

tion to the left half of the 76-note keyboard, and play

the MANUAL II section in the right half:

(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.

(2) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL

I section to switch it off.

(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL I tilt tab to

activate the assigned register.

If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding reg-

ister is audible. You can activate as many registers as

you like.

(4) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to

activate the assigned register.

You can activate as many registers as you like.

(5) Start playing.

The left half of the keyboard is now assigned to the

MANUAL I division, and the right half to the MANUAL

II division.

Changing the split point

At first, the split point (the note where the MANUAL I

section ends and the MANUAL II division begins) is set

to the C indicated by an arrow (▼). Here’s how to select

another note in case you don’t agree with the factory

setting:

(1) Press and hold the [SET] button.

(2) Keep holding that button while pressing the key

where you want to split the keyboard.

The setting range is indicated by the arrows in the

illustration above.

The key you press becomes the lowest note of the

MANUAL II section.

Tremulant

A “tremulant” creates a change in pitch (vibrato),

amplitude (volume) and timbre (tone quality). The use

of the tremulant adds warmth and expressiveness to

solo or small ensemble combinations. It is not common

to use tremulants in larger classical ensembles. In some

romantic ensembles, tremulants are used judiciously. In

some gospel and evangelical musical traditions, tremu-

lants with a wider and deeper excursion are frequently

used.

The C-190 provides a tremulant function for the MAN-

UAL II section:

It only affects the stops of that division (and requires

that you switch on at least one tilt tab).

The TREMULANT status can be saved to one of the

memories.

Using the PEDAL division

The C-190 features a PEDAL division that can either be

played via the keyboard, or with an optional PK-5A,

PK-7, or PK-25 dynamic MIDI pedal unit.

If you only use the keyboard, the PEDAL division is

monophonic and doubles the lowest note you play

using the MANUAL I and/or II stops.

(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.

(2) Use the PEDAL tabs to add one, two or three bass

notes to your playing.

At least one of the PEDAL tilt tabs must be on.

The bass notes are only added to the notes played in

the E1~B3 range:

Note: If you connect a MIDI cable to the PEDAL IN socket on

the C-190’s rear panel, the PEDAL part can no longer be played

via the keyboard. Be sure to connect the other end of that

cable to a pedal unit – or else remove it from the socket.

Playing only bass notes with your left hand

If you prefer to play bass notes without the addition of

a MANUAL I register, you need to split the keyboard and

switch off all MANUAL I tilt tabs. Here’s how to do that:

(1) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL

I section to switch it off.

(2) Press the upper part of any MANUAL I tilt tab

whose indicator lights.

This switches off the MANUAL I division.

(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to

activate the assigned register.

You can activate as many registers as you like.

(4) Use the PEDAL tabs to select the desired registra-

tion for the bass notes.

The PEDAL notes now sound in isolation up to the

split point for the PEDAL division (which is fixed).

Playing the bass notes with an optional pedal

unit

The C-190’s PEDAL registers can also be triggered via

MIDI. The most convenient way to do that is by using

an optional PK-5A, PK-7 or PK-25 dynamic pedal unit.

With the following procedure you can set the C-190 so

that the bass notes (of the PEDAL division) are no

longer triggered by the keyboard:

(1) Switch off the C-190 and the PK.

(2) Connect the PK’s MIDI OUT port to the C-190’s

PEDAL IN socket.

(3) Switch on the PK.

(4) Switch on the C-190.

(5) Start playing on the keyboard and on the PK.

Note: When the PEDAL section is triggered in this way, it is

polyphonic (and can therefore sound several notes simulta-

neously).

Playing organ music

C-190 Portable Organ

Selecting other organ timbres

Some of the speaking stops on the C-190 have alter-

nate voices that can be selected and used in perfor-

mance via the “Voice Palette” feature. Voice Palette

gives you a tremendous amount of added flexibility. For

example, you can choose a Spitzflöte 4’ rank instead of

the Rohrflöte 4’ rank assigned to the MANUAL I tilt tab

of the same name.

Voice Palette was so named because it greatly increases

the number of tonal colors at your disposal; there are

many more ranks available to you than the number of

actual tilt tabs on the instrument.

Making a Voice Palette selection

(1) Press and hold the lower part of a tilt tab and

watch the MEMORY buttons ([0]~[4]).

One of those buttons lights steadily to indicate the

rank that is currently assigned to the tilt tab.

Flashing MEMORY buttons indicate locations that

contain other ranks you can use instead of the one

you get by simply activating the tilt tab.

(2) Release the tilt tab.

Some MEMORY buttons continue to flash, while one

of them lights.

Note: If you pressed and held a tilt tab by accident and now

see flashing MEMORY buttons, press any other button or tilt

tab to leave the Voice Palette selection mode.

(3) Press the MEMORY button of the rank you want to

use.

Note: You can also select a Voice Palette rank by holding

down the desired tilt tab while pressing a MEMORY [0]~[4] but-

ton.

Here are the alternatives for the various tilt tabs:

Note: Using a stop containing a Voice Palette alternative will

play either the default voice OR the Voice Palette alternative

voice. For example, the Vox Humana 8’ stop can be set to play

either the Krummhorn 8’ OR the Clarion 4’ voice, but not both

voices simultaneously.

Note: See also “Assigning other sounds to the tilt tabs” on

p. 21.

Note: The new assignments can be saved to a memory and/or

the global area. See page 19.

Selecting sounds

C-190 Portable Organ

4. Using the orchestral sounds

The C-190 contains orchestral sounds that can be used in isolation or together with the organ sounds. The orchestral

sounds are velocity sensitive (their volume and timbre depend on the force with which you press the keys).

Selecting sounds

There are three sections: the MANUAL I and II sections

that can span the entire keyboard, and the PEDAL sec-

tion that allows you to play a bass part.

Let us first look at how to select a MANUAL I or II

sound:

(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button so that it lights.

There are three ORCHESTRA tone banks: 3 for the

PEDAL section, 5 for the MANUAL I section and 5 +

chimes for the MANUAL II section.

(2) Press a tilt tab to select the sound whose name is

printed below it (indicator lights).

Example: to select the “N.GUITAR” sound for the

MANUAL I section, press the [OCTAVE¥2’] tab.

To add a harpsichord sound to it (using the MANUAL

II section), press the [BOURDON¥8’] tab.

You can layer the MANUAL I and II sounds (play them

together) or play them via separate keys (when the

[II÷I] tilt tab is off). The PEDAL part follows the same

rules as in organ mode.

Note: Each division can only play one orchestral sound at any

one time.

(3) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button again (it goes dark)

to leave the orchestral selection mode.

Remember that is perfectly possible to add orchestral

sounds to organ divisions.

Using a sustain pedal

Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U foot-

switch to the C-190’s EXP/SUST socket to be able to

hold the notes of the PEDAL, MANUAL I and II sections

in the same way as on an acoustic piano.

Orchestra Melody function

In addition to using the MANUAL II division’s orchestral

sound together with the MANUAL I sound (or in a sepa-

rate keyboard zone), you can use the MANUAL II sound

as “melody voice”.

That voice (any orchestral sound you choose in the

MANUAL II section) is monophonic and therefore can-

not play chords. It always sounds the highest (right-

most) note you play on the keyboard. Here’s how to

select that function:

(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button so that it lights.

(2) Press and hold the tilt tab of the MANUAL II

orchestral voice you want to use until the indicator

below it starts flashing.

(3) Start playing and notice how the highest notes are

doubled by the MANUAL II orchestral sound you

selected.

(4) Press the tilt tab above the flashing indicator again

to switch off this melody function.

Using a chime sound

The C-190 provides a chime sound that may come in

handy for a variety of occasions (Christmas masses, for

example).

That sound is assigned to the MANUAL II [TREMULANT]

tilt tab.

Note:

See p. 19 for how to save your settings to a registration

memory.

Adding reverb

The C-190 allows you to add reverberation to what

you play on the keyboard. The reverb effect provides

a pleasant reverberation that gives the impression

that you are performing in a concert hall, a church,

etc.

(1) Press the

[REVERB]

button (it lights).

If you like the reverb effect but think it is too promi-

nent or too faint, here’s how to change the reverb

depth:

(2) Press the

[DOWN]

button to decrease the reverb

level, or the

[UP]

button to increase it.

Note:

Press

[DOWN]

and

[UP]

simultaneously to recall the

C-190’s original reverb depth.

(3) To switch off the reverb effect, press the

[REVERB]

button once again. Its indicator goes dark.

Selecting another reverb type

(4) Switch on the reverb effect (see above).

(5) Press and hold the

[REVERB]

button until its indica-

tor starts flashing.

(6) Press the

[DOWN]

[UP]

button to select a differ-

ent reverb type.

The available types are: Plate, Small Ambient, Room,

Gothic Church, Church, Cathedral. The default is

“Gothic Church”.

Selecting different tunings

Tuning the C-190

There may be times when you accompany acoustic

instruments that are difficult or impossible to tune. In

that case, use the C-190’s TUNE function to adapt its

tuning to that of the acoustic instrument:

(1) Hold down the

[TUNE]

button while pressing the

[DOWN]

button to lower the tuning.

You can lower the C-190’s overall tuning to as much

as 432.8Hz. This frequency refers to the tuning of the

A4.

(2) Hold down the

[TUNE]

button while pressing the

[UP]

button to raise the tuning.

You can increase the C-190’s overall tuning to as

much as 445.2Hz.

(3) Hold down the

[TUNE]

button while pressing the

[DOWN]

and

[UP]

button to return to the C-190’s

default tuning (A4= 440Hz).

The

[TUNE]

button only lights when the C-190’s tun-

ing differs from 440.0Hz.

Note:

This setting can be saved to the global area.

Transposing (same ﬁngering, different notes)

C-190 Portable Organ

Using different temperaments

Like all digital instruments, the C-190 relies on the

standard tuning system for western music, where the

distance (interval) between any two semitones of an

octave is the same. This is called “equal temperament”.

Not so long ago, however, other tunings were used for

classical western music. These tunings are characterized

by varying intervals between the semitones of an

octave. The C-190 allows you to select from among five

different tuning methods (“temperaments”):

(1) Hold down [0] while pressing one of the following

buttons:

See step (2) to specify the key of the selected temper-

ament.

Mean Tone: A partial compromise of the Just Major

tuning (purer tuning than “Equal”), created to make

transposition possible. As the intervals between two

neighboring semitones depends on their pitch, this

temperament may sound out of tune to untrained

ears.

Pythagorean: Developed in ancient Greece as a

method of tuning that resolved the ambiguity of

fourths and fifths. As a result, melodies sound

cleaner, while triads may appear to be flat.

Kirnberger: This temperament is relatively tolerant

towards transposition, and can be used to play in all

keys.

Werckmeister III: A combination of the Mean Tone

and Pythagorean tunings. This tuning can be used in

all keys.

Equal: With this tuning, the octave is divided into

twelve equal intervals. Regardless of the interval, very

little ambiguity is produced.

For the Mean Tone and Pythagorean temperaments,

you also need to specify the key in which you want to

play:

(2) Hold down the [0] button while pressing the key on

the keyboard that corresponds to the tonic of the

desired key.

When performing in ensemble with other instru-

ments, be aware that, depending on the key, there

may be some shifting of the pitch. The other instru-

ments should therefore also use the selected temper-

ament.

Note: When you play back a recorded song, it always uses the

last temperament you selected here.

Transposing (same fingering,

different notes)

You can have the C-190 sound in a different key while

still playing the same notes on the keyboard. That way,

even songs originally written in a difficult key with

many #/sharps or b/flats (i.e. many black keys), can be

played in a more convenient way. This is especially use-

ful when you are used to playing a given piece in one

key, while someone else prefers another key: just

change the TRANSPOSE setting and you’re there.

Note: The transposition remains in effect until you change it or

switch off the C-190. This setting cannot be saved.

• While holding down the [TRANSPOSE] button, press

the tonic (root) of the key to which you want to

transpose.

The [TRANSPOSE] button lights.

–OR–

• Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button while selecting

the desired interval with the [DOWN] or [UP] button.

This is a littler trickier, because there is no visual

feedback. You therefore have to count the number of

presses. Each press corresponds to a semi-tone.

• To return to normal pitch, hold down the

[TRANSPOSE] button while pressing a C key (or

[DOWN] + [UP]). The [TRANSPOSE] button goes dark.

■Example: playing in C but sounding in E

If you want the E pitch to sound whenever you press

a C key, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and

press an E key.

Note: The transposition only applies to the notes you play on

the C-190’s keyboard or a PK-series pedal board. It does not

apply to note messages received via the MIDI IN connector, or

the notes played by the Recorder.

Recording your performance

You can record what you play on your C-190 and

then play it back whenever you like. There are four

song memories that can be selected using the

[1]

[4]

buttons.

The Recorder not only memorizes the notes you play,

but also the sounds you use.

Recording

(1) Hold down the

[REC]

button (it starts flashing)

while pressing a

[1]

[4]

button to select the song

memory.

Be sure to select a memory whose button doesn’t

light while you are holding down the

[REC]

button.

Otherwise, you erase the recording contained in that

memory.

(2) Release the

[REC]

button (it keeps flashing).

(3) Press the

[PLAY]

button to start recording.

(4) Start playing.

(5) Press

[PLAY]

again (or

[REC]

) to stop recording.

Note:

The C-190 now processes your recording, which may

take 2~3 seconds. While the data are being stored, the key-

board doesn’t respond to your playing.

Note:

Each song memory can hold up to 20,000 events (notes

and data settings).

Playing back a recorded song

To listen to your new (or a previously recorded) song,

proceed as follows:

(1) Press and hold the

[PLAY]

button while pressing a

[1]

[4]

button to select a song memory.

Be sure to select a memory whose button lights,

which indicates that the memory in question con-

tains data.

(2) Press

[PLAY]

again to stop playback.

Note:

The recorded song data are not transmitted to the

C-190’s MIDI OUT port.

Using the audio outputs

The C-190 comes with two audio outputs that may

come in handy for two things:

• When you need to perform in a large venue and fear

that the C-190’s on-board amplification system is

not powerful enough, or when you are asked to con-

nect the C-190 directly to the PA system;

• To record your playing (either with or without

Recorder backing) to cassette, MD, etc.

To do so, connect the C-190 as follows:

If the external device is mono, use only the OUTPUT L/

MONO socket.

Note:

Connecting jacks to the outputs does not switch off the

internal amplification system.

6. Using the C-190’s memories

The C-190’s settings can be saved in one of two ways: to a global area or to a memory that needs to be selected. The set-

tings of the global area are loaded automatically when the C-190 is switched on.

Saving your settings as

registrations

The C-190 comes with 2 x 4 memories where you can

save the panel settings (“registrations”) for convenient

recall at a later stage.

Here’s what is saved in these memories:

When the C-190 is shipped, these eight memories

already contain useful settings, but feel free to over-

write their contents with your own registrations.

(1) Press

[M1÷2]

to select the memory bank:

[M1/2]

off: Bank “1” is selected.

[M1/2]

lights: Bank “2” is selected.

(2) Hold down the

[SET]

button while pressing the

[1]

[4]

button that corresponds to the memory where

you wish to save your settings.

Note:

The settings previously saved in this memory will be

overwritten by your new registration.

Loading the settings of a memory

To recall the settings of a memory, proceed as fol-

lows:

(1) If necessary, press the

[M1/2]

button to select the

bank that contains the settings you need.

[M1/2]

off: Bank “1” is selected.

[M1/2]

lights: Bank “2” is selected.

7. Specialist functions

This chapter discusses functions you may only need occasionally. They help you refine the C-190’s behavior.

Windchest Panning

Use the WINDCHEST PANNING function to specify

where the simulated organ pipes (the C-190 is a dig-

ital instrument with no pipes whatsoever) should be

located in the stereo sound field.

The available settings represent common pipe arrange-

ments for church organs.

The following can be set for each organ voice individu-

ally. The settings can be saved to the global area (see

p. 19).

(1) Press the [WINDCHEST¥PANNING] button.

The button flashes. All tilt tab indicators go dark.

(2) Press the tilt tab of the organ voice whose panning

you wish to change.

This can be a tab of any section (PEDAL, MANUAL I or

MANUAL II). Its indicator starts flashing.

(3) Use the [DOWN] and [UP] buttons to select one of

the four available settings.

The drawings are probably self-explanatory:

(4) Press the [WINDCHEST¥PANNING] button again to

return to normal operation.

From now on, the rank you selected will use the

changed stereo distribution. Do not forget to save

the setting to the global area.

■Recalling the default Windchest Panning set-

tings

If you decide to return to the factory-set panning

settings, hold down the [REC] button while switching

the C-190 on (this initializes all of the C-190’s set-

tings).

Changing the volume and brilliance

The C-190 provides two functions that allow you to

change the volume and brilliance (filtering) of any

organ or orchestral sound. Such changes can be

saved to the global area.

Changing the volume of just one sound at a time

If you think a given organ or orchestral sound is too

loud (or too soft) with respect to the others, you can

decrease (or increase) its volume without changing the

volume of the remaining sounds. This is therefore a bal-

ance setting.

(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button to switch it on or

off.

Switch it off if you need to change the volume of an

organ sound. Switch it on to change the volume of

an orchestral sound.
