NTR/NTT
(Note Trans-
position Rule/
Note Transpo-
sition Table)
NTR Root Fixed The note is kept as close as possible to the original note
range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 become
C3, F3 and A3 when the root note is transposed to F.
Use this setting for channels with chordal arranging.
Guitar This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompani-
ment. Notes are transposed to approximate voicings
played with natural guitar fingering.
NTT Type Selects the Note Transposition Table which determines how the notes in
the Source Pattern are transposed according to the Chord Type change.
When NTR is set to “Root Transpose” or “Root Fixed”:
Bypass When NTR is set to Root Fixed, the transposition table
used does not perform any note conversion. When NTR
is set to Root Trans, the table used only converts the
notes by maintaining the intervals between notes.
Melody Suitable to transpose most melody lines. Use this for
channels with melodic arranging such as “Bass,”
“Phrase1,” and “Phrase2.”
Chord Suitable for transposing most melody lines. Use this for
the “Chord1” and “Chord2” channels, that assume har-
mony on arranging.
Melodic
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a
minor chord, this table lowers the major third note
above the “Source Root” by a semitone. When the
chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor
third note above the “Source Root” is raised by a semi-
tone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for Sections
which respond only to major/minor chords, such as
Intros and Endings, according to the notes in the Source
Pattern, the minor key type (natural, harmonic or
melodic minor) and/or the mode you intend.
Melodic
Minor 5th
In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above,
this table transposes the perfect fifth note above the
“Source Root” with augmented and diminished chord
types.
Harmonic
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a
minor chord, this table lowers the major third and sixth
notes above the “Source Root” by a semitone. When the
chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor
third and sixth notes above the “Source Root” are raised
by a semitone. Other notes are not changed.
Use this for Sections which respond only to major/
minor chords, such as Intros and Endings, according to
the notes in the Source Pattern, the minor key type (nat-
ural, harmonic or melodic minor) and/or the mode you
intend.
