NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
NTT (Note Transposition Table)
When NTR is set to Trans or Fixed
Trans
(Root Transpose)
When the root note is transposed, the interval 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.
Fixed
(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.
Gtr
(Guitar)
This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to
approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering.
Bypass When NTR is set to Fixed, the transposition table used does not do any note conver-
sion. When NTR is set to Trans, the table used only converts the notes by maintaining
the pitch relationship between notes.
Melody Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1
and Phrase 2.
Chord Suitable for chordal parts 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.

chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
Harmonic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this 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 semi-
tone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which
respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.

from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh inter-
vals 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 in Intros and Endings.
