“Phrase1” and “Phrase2.”
Chord Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the “Chord1” and “Chord2”
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

In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
Harmonic

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 Sec-
tions which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.

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

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

When NTR is set to “Guitar”:
All Pur-
pose
This table covers both strummed 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.
NTT Bass The channel 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. When NTR is set to Guitar and this parameter is set
to “On,” only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note.
NTR/NTT Settings for the Rhythm Channels
Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by Chord change, make sure to make the following settings.
• NTR = Root Fixed
• NTT = Bypass
• NTT Bass = Off
With the above settings, the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed to “Play Root” and
“Play Chord,” respectively.
