Making Style File Format Settings — Parameter

This display provides a variety of style controls— such as determining how the pitch and sound of the recorded style

change when playing the chords in the left-hand range of the keyboard. For details about the relationship between the

parameters, refer to “Style File Format” on page 112. The operations here are the same as described in step 4 on page 112.

■Source Root/Chord

These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default

setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C” and a Source Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data

is deleted prior to recording a new style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you

change Source Root / Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also

change, depending on the newly selected chord type. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 114.

■NTR (Note Transposition Rule) and NTT (Note Transposition Table)

•NTR (Note Transposition Rule)

This determines the system for pitch conversion of the source pattern. Two settings are available.

Root Trans (Root Transpose)

When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3,

E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that

contain melody lines.

Root Fixed

The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key

of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts.

When NTR is set to “Root
Fixed” and NTT is set to
“Bypass,” the “Source
Root” and “Source Chord”
parameters are changed to
“Play Root” and “Play
Chord,” respectively. In this
case, you can change
chords and hear the result-
ing sound for all channels.
