When NTR is set to Guitar
3 High Key/Note Limit
The settings here adjust the Octave of the notes converted from the original ones through NTT and NTR.
4 RTR (Retrigger Rule)
These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to
chord changes. Use the Cursor buttons [4 ]–[7 ] to select one of the following types.
All-Purpose This table covers both stroke- and arpeggio-played sounds.
Stroke Suitable for strumming sounds of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if they are
muted—this is the normal condition when chords are played on guitar by strum-
ming.
Arpeggio Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful four-note
arpeggio sounds.
[4 ]/
[5 ]
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 available only when the
NTR parameter (page 46) is set to “Root Transpose.”
[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 piccolo sounds).
[7 ] Note Limit High
Stop The notes stop sounding.
Pitch Shift The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord.
Pitch Shift To Root The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord.
However, the octave of the new note remains the same.
Retrigger The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord.
Retrigger To Root The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the
octave of the new note remains the same.
Example—When the highest key is F.
