NTT (Note Transposition Table)

This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern.

BYPASS

When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not

 

do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table

 

used only converts the root note.

 

 

MELODY

Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels

 

such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.

 

 

CHORD

Suitable for chord transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2

 

channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal

 

parts.

 

 

MELODIC MINOR

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this

 

table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the

 

chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is

 

raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody

 

channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such

 

as Intros and Endings.

 

 

MELODIC MINOR

In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and

5th

diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.

 

 

HARMONIC

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this

MINOR

table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone.

 

When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor

 

third and flatted sixth 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 Intros and Endings.

 

 

HARMONIC

In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and

MINOR 5th

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 a Major/minor chord such as Intros and

 

Endings.

 

 

NATURAL MINOR

In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and

5th

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

 

 

DORIAN

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this

 

table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone.

 

When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor

 

third 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 a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings.

 

 

DORIAN 5th

In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and dimin-

 

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

 

 

NTT BASS ON/OFF

The channels for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument.

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 125) is set to “Root Trans.”

Example — When the highest key is F.
