HARMONIC MINOR
5th
In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and
diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table
lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone.
When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third,
flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other
notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which
respond only to major/minor chords such as in Intros and Endings.

ished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sounds.
STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if
it is muted—this is normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by
stroke.
ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful four-
note arpeggio sounds.

HIGH KEY This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for
the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest
key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is avail-
able only when the NTR parameter (page 40) is set to “Root Trans.”
[6 ] NOTE LIMIT
LOW
These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to
the Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that
the Voices sound as realistic as possible—in other words, that no notes
outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low pic-
colo sounds).
