2 NTR/NTT [3]/ [4] NTR (Note Transposition Rule) [5] - [7] NTT (Note Transposition Table) [8] NTT BASS ON/ OFF Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the list below. Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list below. 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 notes assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note. NTR (Note Transposition Rule) ROOT TRANS When the root note is transposed, the interval 3 (Root Transpose) 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 When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. 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 playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. GUITAR This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering. Styles - Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment - NTT (Note Transposition Table) When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS or ROOT FIXED 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 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. MELODIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th intervals of the Source Pattern. CVP-601 Reference Manual 35
