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.

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.

are widely used in pipe organs. Capable of conveying the subtlest nuances
created by diff erences in touch, the keyboard perfectly responds to the

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.

The C-380 features a stately appearance, excellent expressivity of performances,
and small footprint. It is perfect for use in churches and concert halls.
Its handsome cabinet finish has the look
of a traditional organ.
The C-380’s cabinet is the same
dark oak color seen on traditional
organ consoles. The result is an
instrument that has the presence of
an authentic organ with a footprint
that is approximately the same as the
C-330. It is built with a locking rolltop
for security and to keep the keyboards
clean and dry.
Additional pistons give you more flexibility and playability
C-380 offers more flexibility by adding divisional pistons, which are
especially useful for building ensembles with diverse tone combinations.
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.
