NTT Type Harmonic
Minor 5th
In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above,
this table transposes the perfect fifth note above the
“Source Root” with augmented and diminished chord
types.
Natural
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a
minor chord, this table lowers the major third, sixth and
seventh notes above the “Source Root” by a semitone.
When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord,
the minor third, sixth and seventh 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 (natural, harmonic or melodic minor) and/or
the mode you intend.
Natural
Minor 5th
In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above,
this table transposes the perfect fifth note above the
“Source Root” with augmented and diminished chord
types.
Dorian When the played chord changes from a major to a
minor chord, this table lowers the major third and sev-
enth notes above the “Source Root” by a semitone.
When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord,
the minor third and seventh 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 (natural, harmonic or melodic minor) and/or
the mode you intend.
Dorian 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, this table
transposes the perfect fifth note above the “Source
Root” with augmented and diminished chord types.
When NTR is set to “Guitar”:
All Purpose This table works both for strumming and arpeggios.
Stroke This table is specialized for strumming. Some notes
may sound as if they are muted—this is to simulate
actual guitar strumming voicings for a more authentic
sound.
Arpeggio This table is specialized for arpeggios, resulting in
beautiful four-note arpeggio sounds.
NTT Bass The channels for which this parameter is set to “On” respond to slashed
(on-bass) chords. For example, when Dm7/G is selected, the notes for
Bass are transposed to “G” instead of “D” which is the root of the chord.
When NTR is set to “Guitar” and this parameter is set to “On,” only the
bottom note as Bass inside the Guitar voicings automatically respond to
slashed chords as well.
