Roland AT-50

THe presets are fairly true to life. I particulary like the sax sounds. The organ is easy to drive. I have been impressed with it from a usability point of view.

The AT50, like its larger brother (AT70) is fully featured. IT has numerous manual effects although to use them u lose the lower keyboard. The most annoyng feature for me is that there is no independent control over the midi channel volumes. The channels are either on or off.

The sounds can be varied by adding reverb to each sound bank. The sustain can be on or off and also the base setup allows for a general room/hall reverb sound. The only annoying feature with the organ I own is that acouple of the organ tabs actually produce a high pitched not (or is it an annoying whistle). Obviosly to test out if its a fault or a feature would require an expense and whilst I know the whistle is there it is not that annoying that I would want to prove it a feature or fault. All the sounds are well balanced.

I have owned my organ for 3 years and have had no problems so far

Roland have been Excellent and friendly and offer good advice.

Would I buy another Roland Yes I would. I like its ease of use. Its a pity that some midi files don't play on it for some reason and its a pity that Roland appear to use their formatting of saved files on this model.
